Mexico in 1914. On the verge of a bloody civil war that's spiraling out of control-a place where only real men survive-an officer for the US War Department, Myles Adams knows all about keeping a cool head. And he's just the man who can help his former partner-in-arms Stewart Cook rescue his soon-to-be fiancee, Alexia Garcia, from rebel forces. But once Alexia is safe in hand, the two Americans find themselves in even greater danger. On the run from Jorge Trevino, a ruthless bandito who would kill to have what Myles has-namely the gorgeous Carmen Cologan-these men are about to witness all the horrors that the Mexican frontier has to offer and they'll have to use every drop of courage they have to survive.
