Description
Welcome back to Dead Broke, Colorado. Where the latest discovery--a giant boulder of zinc--ignites a kill-crazy war that rocks the Rockies to their core. Ever since the silver market crashed, the mining town of Dead Broke has been awfully quiet. The local marshal--legendary gunman Duncan "Mick" MacMicking--doesn't have much to do besides outshoot the occasional greenhorn looking to challenge him. But all this peace and quiet is about to end. Mayor Nugget has unearthed a mineral to rival his famous "Hope Diamond of Silver." He calls it the "Zinc of Zion," a 1,776-pound boulder of pure zinc carbonate. And when he announces his discovery, the quiet boomtown of Dead Broke goes boom--again--with a vengeance. First, a mining expert from Germany shows up--with his eyes on the prize. Then, a reporter from Baltimore arrives--and ends up dead in one of the mines. It doesn't take long for the town marshal and mayor to realize they've got a full-blown zinc war on their hands. Fueled by greed--and backed by gunpower--the German's business proposition turns into a hostile takeover. And then the German himself turns out to be a notorious outlaw with a long history of stealing whatever--and killing whoever--he wants. There's just one thing stopping him from painting the whole town red: a gunfighting legend who happens to be the town marshal they call Mick.
