There's nothing pretty about Mexico in 1914. On the verge of a bloody civil war that's spiraling out of control, it's no place for hotheads or weak hearts - a place where only real men survive...if they're lucky. As 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 the rebel forces. But this is a country where a man would shoot you as soon as look at you...With Alexia 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 - war, poverty, and human suffering too agonizing to be believed.
