'High Hander' Summary
Tesno, a man known for his ability to handle any situation, is brought in to protect a railroad construction crew building a tunnel through a dangerous and lawless region. The company's decision to call in Tesno reveals the level of danger they face. His reputation precedes him, and the local inhabitants know that he is not one to be trifled with. The frontier towns and the vast wilderness hold little respect for laws imposed from afar, but Tesno carries his own brand of justice, a justice enforced with a quick draw and a determined hand. He makes it clear that he will tolerate no interference with the project. His presence is a stark reminder that the law of the gun is the only law that truly matters in this unforgiving landscape. As Tesno navigates this perilous world, he finds himself entangled in a web of treachery, violence, and revenge. Every moment is a gamble, every encounter a test of his resolve. A single lapse in judgment could be his undoing. The fate of the tunnel, the lives of the workers, and his own survival rest in his hands. In a world where danger lurks around every corner and trust is a luxury he cannot afford, Tesno must rely on his instincts, his skills, and his unwavering dedication to justice.Book Details
