Description
Dry Road to Nowhere is set in the Wyoming Territory, a battleground for native tribes and a place most folks avoid. Former Texas Ranger Butch Keeler and his saloon fight buddy Tucker Cobb launch the Frontier Overland Company, a rough-and-ready stagecoach operation that dares to go where others fear to tread.
The passengers on their next stagecoach trip are good people: Colonel McBride delivering much-needed supplies to Fort Washington and his lovely niece visiting her dying father. Butch and Cobb are determined to help an old friend despite the road being overrun with armed Lakota, Cheyenne, and other deadly threats.
A power-hungry business rival, known as the self-described "King", is out there waiting for them, laying a trap to destroy their operation and plotting to burn everything to the ground. Over Butch and Cobb's dead bodies.
