The Dead, the Dying and the Damned

Cotton Harding, former Civil War soldier and current gunslinger, has come to Mexico to earn money doing what the war had made him good at—killing. He wants no part in the war that is taking place between a brutal Mexican bandit king and the towns he is terrorizing. But Harding has found love back in New Mexico, and that love has made him a man who would stand against a bandit army. He aims to recruit more men like him—good men; at least, good at one thing—killing. Yet in some ways these men are as bad as Benitez. These men, and Harding himself, are all either dead, dying, or damned.
