But it’s hard to know what’s going on inside the twisted mind of Magnus Lamb, the charismatic leader of an isolated logging town known for its healing hot springs. Some might say he’s created a peaceful utopia here on Gunmetal Mountain. But for Cleveland Trewe and his lovely traveling companion Berry, this little piece of heaven is more like Hell on Earth . . . Cleve and Berry first discover the town after an encounter with a dangerous band of Indians. Cleve to vow to find "the Coyote," a young brave last seen headed for the strange settlement of Lambsville. At first, Cleve and Berry are charmed by the town’s natural beauty and simple way of life.

Civil War veteran Cleve Trewe locks horns with a ruthless cattleman who’s hungry for land, thirsty for power—and out for blood . . . BLOOD IN SWEET RIVER After a long, hard journey west, Cleve Trewe is ready to settle down. He’s got his beautiful wife Berry in San Francisco, a baby on the way, and his sights set on a gorgeous piece of land in the Sierras. This sweet slice of heaven is aptly named Sweet River, and it’s the perfect place to build a ranch, farm, and home for his family. Problem is, Cleve’s not the only one with his eyes on the land. A big-time cattle baron named Asa Hawthorn is prepared to use threats, intimidation—and armed thugs—to get what he wants. Worse yet, Cleve knows the man from the darkest days of the Civil War . . . Cleve’s not about to surrender his claim.. He’s got his buddy Kanaway by his side, a family of Paiute Indians on his team, and the property papers ready to sign. That’s when the real trouble starts. To squash the deal, Hawthorn unleashes his deadliest henchmen—including a would-be gunfighter from Cleve’s past and a killer-for-hire who never misses. The Paiute family recognizes some of them as the men who slaughtered their tribe—a massacre that Cleve suspects was the work of Asa Hawthorn. Either way, a major battle is brewing. And the crystal blue waters of Sweet River are about to turn red . . .

Mark St. Clair's life has fallen apart: he is diagnosed with incurable cancer just as his engineering career is taking off. Thinking that his life is over, he agrees to leave his wife and young daughter to undergo a radical new technology. Now, in a secret facility in Colorado, Mark is frozen alive in a controlled death, awaiting a cure for his brain cancer. He awakes to find a bioagent has wiped out most life-forms and the Complex facility is under the watchful eye of Rex, a supercomputer capable of imitating intelligent human behavior. The computer's algorithm calls for another person to be resuscitated every few days. As new people are revived, Rex tightens its grip, battling Mark for control of the operations and imposing even greater restrictions on the group. Mark and his allies feel trapped. Rex has killed before, and there's no stopping it now, since its devious developer has been resurrected. Now, in the wrong hands, Rex represents the greatest threat to human life. When Mark learns the true purpose of the Complex, he decides to escape the facility and take his chances on the outside. Each survivor must now take sides. Whom can Mark count on? Who will side with the AI? Desperation spurs the allies to leave the Complex, and they nearly succeed until events take an unexpected twist. What is really important in a world where AI has redefined life? This is a question that haunts Mark as he and his friends struggle to move forward in a barren world, as the frigid winter closes in. The stakes are nothing less than the future of humanity. If Mark can't outwit Rex, an entire civilization will vanish.

Now that the war is over he’s found work as a peacekeeper and prospector—the perfect set of survival skills for a town like Axle Bust, Nevada, a place seething with danger. Cleve’s uncle staked a claim in Axle Bust only to lose it to a murderous con-man partnered with Duncan Conroy, owner of the Golden Fleece Mine and a man determined to build an empire by means fair and foul. The only person keeping Conroy in check is his sister Berenice, a freethinker whose scientific education benefits the family interests—even while catching Cleve’s eye. To reclaim his uncle’s mine, and bring justice to a town under tyranny, Cleve finds himself turning the streets into a bullet-riddled battlefield. Conroy is about to learn there just isn’t room for both men in a town like Axle Bust. GOLD FEVER. BLOOD FEVER.
