America is in the ravages of post-Civil War life.

A new trail is needed to supply the meat-starved areas in the North and East, and Greg Halmar – a tough war veteran – is chosen as the man for the job.

But it’s not long into his journey, when he suddenly realises the danger that lies ahead of him.

Ringed with enemies, the trail pushes through arid deserts and deep into the heart of Indian country.

Halmar and his companions face a constant battle with death, with Indians lurking behind every turn, waiting for their moment to strike.

For a thousand miles, Halmar leads the cattle to the North, fighting outlaws, Indians, and the ruthless forces of nature along the way.

Can he rely on his cool judgement and lucky stars to ensure the safe passage of the cattle?

Riding on the thin edge of danger, anything could happen...

Will this Trail Blazer fall at the last hurdle?

Or will he become the savior the west so desperately needs?
