From back cover:

It was the cruel court martial of Private Raymond Craig that topped off a climate of rebellion among the men at Fort Maxon. Sergeant Joe Madden saw this as an opportunity to persuade Craig and five other disgruntled privates to desert with him. After having drowned his sorrows in whiskey, Craig was too drunk to refuse when Madden offered to take him along. Madden planned to use their military training for personal gain...they would be hired guns. Although each man had his own reasons for leaving, Madden was counting on greed to hold his bunch of bandits together. But he was underestimating two men...Craig, who had a conscience, and Captain Falk, for whom tracking down the Deserter Troop had become a personal vendetta...and he didn't have a conscience.
