Everybody Has a Gun

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE LIGHTNING STRIKES ANY PLACE IT WANTS.
"The Fastest Gun in the Territory " returns-and the ultimate showdown begins-in the latest, greatest Jon Gage adventure from the bestselling Johnstones . . .
Like any gunslinger with a bloodstained past, Jon Gage needs to keep moving to stay alive. Too many people know the legend of "Texas Lightning"-and too many people want him dead. Trying to keep a low profile, he stops at a supply post in Utah Territory to stock up before hitting the trail. There, he meets a wagon train of farmers from Kansas doing the same. They seem like good, decent folks, but they're about to make a very bad decision. The route they've chosen leads straight through the Chosen Valley. Which is like walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death . . .
Ruled by a notorious and powerful cult-known for their cruel and unusual punishments-the Chosen Valley is worse than a dead end. It's a trap. Especially for a wagon train of farmers, who are easy targets in a brutal ambush by black-robed zealots. Alerted by the gunshots, Gage tries to help the farmers by donning a robe and infiltrating the cult. What he learns shocks him. The cult plans to kill the farmers, steal their supplies, and force their children into slave labor. Gage is not about to let that happen-even if has to take on the entire cult himself.
Every one of them has a gun. But none of them are as fast-or as deadly-as Texas Lightning . . .
