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.

Three men united by fate — in a nation divided by war — they were dedicated to freedom, driven to extremes, and destined for greatness.... Of the three, Johnny Yuma was the most elusive. A Confederate soldier during the war, he was about to play a key role in Grant’s victory for the Union, Lee’s surrender at Appomattox, and Custer’s deadly campaigns in the West.

The guerrilla general responsible wants machine guns for their safe return, but there is more to the ransom than guns.

Honest presentation is only one characteristic of Frazee’s well-crafted tales. He tells a convincing, satisfying, and unusual story even when employing stock Western situations. A major strength is his understanding of the nuances of character, of how people are motivated, of the good and bad within each person, and of the conflicts between man and his environment. Drawing upon his years in the mountains of Colorado, he can vividly and realistically depict a variety of Western settings and do so in such a way that the settings assume a character of their own.

The lightening-quick Russian victory over the United States is total and complete. The Soviet thermonuclear first strike transforms America's cities into fire-scorched mounds of radioactive rubble, its vast countryside into a shattered wasteland.

But a handful of survivors escape the Russian net and choose to live - and give their lives if need be - for freedom's cause.
