Tascosa Cummings left behind the tedious life of cattle ranching years ago; now he lives the carefree, nomadic life of a true cowboy, trading in herds for horses and barbed wire fences for the open Oklahoma range. When Tas and his band of mounted men find themselves in the crossfire of a two-sided range war with nothing but their horses, their guns, and a wagon of supplies for defense, getting out alive with their guns in their holsters just doesn't seem to be an option.Doing business on the range at a time when the people who enforce the law are the very same who break it, it becomes practical for Tas and his Sawbuck gang to turn and ride away before shots are fired and the dust gets kicked up; if you don't see anything, you can't say anything. But when the good and the bad join forces in a veritable No Man's Land, it's up to each mounted man to defend what's rightfully his—his bronc, his brand, and his name—law or no law.
