He thought impersonating a planetary Marshall would be easy… Until he was needed.

William Burton, wanted bounty hunter, has killed Marshal Steelgrave, who tried arresting him. Desperate to escape, William impersonates Steelgrave on the backwater where they fought: Pavo Dos, a desert planet filled with bandits, cultists, and the oligarchs who pit them against each other.

But as ‘Steelgrave’ plays lawman while seeking passage offworld, acting the part proves more than he bargained for.

He finds himself entangled in schemes within schemes while battling gangs, gunfighters, androids, and drugged cultists. But it’s the affections of Ori Jo, a spunky deputy, that makes it hardest for Steelgrave to keep living the lie—while everyone else wants him dead.
