博客來Rattlesnake Jake
A cynical gunfighter for hire takes on a simple prisoner transport job and finds himself the last line of defense against a corrupt judge’s ruthless conspiracy, forcing him to fight alongside the outlaw he was paid to deliver.
Dive into the gritty, sun-scorched world of the Arizona Territory in Rattlesnake Jake, a relentless wild western adventure where justice is bought, and freedom is paid for in blood. When stoic gunfighter Rip Campbell accepts five hundred dollars to escort the notorious outlaw Jake ＂The Rattler＂ Morrison to trial, he thinks it’s just another job. But the trail to Silver Creek is a gauntlet of death, lined with ambushes from bloodthirsty bounty hunters, ruthless gangs, and killers disguised as lawmen.
Forced into an uneasy alliance with his prisoner and a vengeful sheriff haunted by his daughter’s murder, Rip is dragged into the heart of a dark conspiracy. The man they’re delivering Jake to is the very architect of the territory’s corruption: the powerful and untouchable Judge Cornelius Black. With a thousand-dollar bounty on Jake’s head, every desperado from Tombstone to the Mexican border is on their trail, all loyal to the Judge’s gold.
From explosive standoffs in desert canyons and brutal gunfights at remote way stations to a desperate siege against overwhelming odds, Rattlesnake Jake is a story of survival, betrayal, and the high price of redemption. This gripping frontier saga pits three desperate men against a web of deceit that has choked the life out of a town. To unravel the truth, they must survive a deadly game of cat and mouse where the line between outlaw and hero is as thin as a razor’s edge. This is a classic western tale of six-gun justice, dynamite, and the final, bloody showdown between a corrupt empire and the few good men left standing against it.
