Gunman's Reckoning
by Max Brand
'Gunman's Reckoning' Summary
The story follows a rugged gunman, known only as 'The Reckoning,' as he is thrust into a dangerous situation. An evil rancher, 'The Devil,' has stolen a gold mine from a respected family and murdered their patriarch. The rancher's beautiful daughter, a symbol of innocence trapped in a world of violence, becomes the object of the Reckoning's growing affection. He is torn between his duty to bring justice to the family and his increasingly strong feelings for the young woman, who represents a world he thought he left behind. In a series of tense confrontations, chases, and standoffs, the Reckoning must outwit his enemies, protect the innocent, and come to terms with his own past. He faces moral dilemmas, risking his life for what he believes is right, ultimately fighting not just for the stolen gold, but for a chance at redemption. The Reckoning's journey is a rollercoaster of action and romance, forcing him to confront his own moral code and find his place in a world where justice is often bought with blood.Book Details
