    About this series

    Nathan Stone was a living legend in the West as a lawman, as an outlaw, as a gambler, as a wanderer through the wildest towns and terrain. He blazed a vengeance trail, giving no quarter and asking for none. Fearlessly, he played his cards and used his Colt .45s as best he could in games of chance, skill, and savagery, for stakes of life or death.

    Now he was riding on a course that would test his rawhide nerve and lightning draw against the likes of Doc Holliday, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, the fleeing James brothers, and the incredible John Wesley Hardin - as he headed toward a fateful rendezvous with the number one gunfighter as fast and deadly as he: the teenage kid who killed like a man and was Nathan Stone's son...

      Nathan Stone returns to his Virginia home to discover that the horrors of the Civil War are not over; his family has been wiped out, and their home burned by seven renegades. Nathan swears an oath on his father's grave to find and kill each of the men responsible. He begins a lonely journey that will take him south and west, on a vengeance trail that crosses the paths of some infamous figures, including “Wild Bill” Hickok, Roy Bean, and Frank Jesse James. Along the way, Nathan Stone becomes one of the greatest gunslingers of the time, handing out bloody justice to the men who took his family.

      4/5 - 3 ratings

      In the 1870s, as the country recovered from the War Between the States, the expansion of railroads and the discovery of gold opened the American west to both civilization and savagery. Men and women on both sides of the law were drawn by the chance to make a fortune, and there was often a big difference between Law and Justice. Into this whirlwind rode Nathan Stone, a man whose trail of vengeance gave him a reputation for speed with a gun. He tracked and killed the seven men who murdered his family after the war. Now, the first of those deaths has come back to haunt him. He finds unlikely friends among some of the famous gunfighters and adventurers who brought life – and death – to a land that once knew only the buffalo and the Indian. Only the strongest will survive The Killing Season.

      At Lunch With Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Scott Was on the Menu

      Aug 21, 2017

      During a week when most Republican leaders were happy not be seen with Donald Trump, Florida Gov. Rick Scott had lunch with the President at his New Jersey golf course. Scott's office bravely announced the trip a day in advance, like he was proud to be invited. This, as neo-Nazis, white supremacists and drooling bigots all over America were online celebrating Trump's breezy lack of outrage following the death and violence in Charlottesville. Praise was being heaped upon the lonesome president by KKK Wizard Emeritus David Duke, "white nationalist" Richard Spencer, and other self-branded racists

      Defining Evil

      Oct 5, 2017

      Responding to the recent Las Vegas concert shooting that killed more than 50 people and injured hundreds more, President Trump described the act as one "of pure evil." One definition of "evil" sounds so inadequate in today's culture: "morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked: evil deeds, an evil life." As the Supreme Court wrestled with a 1964 obscenity case, Justice Potter Stewart struggled to define obscenity, and finally settled on his oft-quoted statement, "I know it when I see it." That seems to be the preferred attitude about evil today. Many of us can't fully define it, but we certainly kn
