About the book
The top Western writers of the 21st Century are back at Fort Misery, where the lowest ranking soldiers of the U.S. ARMY fight to protect a lawless desert from dangerous killers. Sometimes, it takes a criminal with a gun to defeat another criminal with a gun...
These men are not known as 'the good guys.' They are a group of dishonorable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and more. However, as condemned soldiers in a stretched-thin army, they were given a choice: face death by hanging or endure their punishment in a brutal environment.
Located on the outskirts of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson attracts trouble. Savage attacks by Apache warriors and ruthless outlaws are a common occurrence - and the men stationed at the fort are no exception. That's why it's known as Fort Misery. When a team of professors arrives at the fort in search of hidden treasure, a string of horrifying murders begins. The soldiers of Fort Misery must uncover the culprit before they all meet a gruesome fate...
