Publisher's Summary

Lieutenant-General Mordecai “Swoop” Swellen was a born fighting man. When so ordered, he would “swoop” in and decimate any declared enemy. He was also known for his tactical brilliance and red hot anger.

But in 1890, when faced with engaging the local Lakota Indians near his fort, which he knew would lead to disaster, he just walked away from his command. His vindictive superiors branded him a coward, a traitor to the United States, and put a thousand-dollar bounty on his head.

The military started a massive hunt for him, but somehow Swellen stayed one step ahead of his many pursuers.

Now, the fugitive Swoop becomes involved with a new, mountain-climbing, cog and rail train system and its Sicilian company working in Pike’s Peak, Colorado. Swoop is hired by the system’s Sicilian owner-inventor, Arturo Zapello, to thwart sabotage, theft, and murder within his own company, and further foil one of his sinister crew chiefs, Carlo Greco, a renowned swordsman obsessed with challenging the locals to duels to the death.
