"Give a man a chance,and there's no telling what he can do." Fargo said.

Its 1859 and Skye Fargo completes his mission ofleading a party of silver-hungry pioneers to Silver City,Nevada.There is nothing particularly different about these pioneers.They come from several backgrounds,all with the hopes of finding riches in the silver mines. Skye,who is never too fond of towns,particularly silver or gold boom towns,where every sort of character abounds,peace and tranquility is anything but the norm,justice is often meted out from the barrel of a gun, and one never knows whose side the law,if it exists at all,is on. Skye gets targeted,and whether he wants to get involved or not,is dragged into all the skullduggery one can imagine. The story is all centered around silver mines,saloons and power struggles;and Fargo doesn't know who to trust. He finds support in the outcasts of the town,the downtrodden and even despised Chinese community.Fargo,always one to give a man a chance,finds support from the ones least expected;and after lots of suspense,fast-action,endless challenges and wild and wooly experiences on the streets,saloons and mindshafts;he literally gets to the bottom of things.In any Trailsman saga,there's lots to learn,some great expressions ,and in this case the reader even gets a geology lesson on what signs to look for when mining for silver in mountain shafts.
