In ""Brand of the Forgotten"", Des Dunn, writing as Sheldon B. Cole, weaves a high-stakes Western where survival is the only law. Drifting gunman Blake Durant is a man hardened by the seasons, a ""loner"" who neither trusts nor distrusts, simply seeking to mind his own business.
His peace is shattered when he is ambushed by Pete Doubell, an old-timer fleeing with seven pokes of stolen gold from the Bodie river claim. Trapped between the ruthless Reke Bodie and the lethal, black-clad gunslinger Vance Carter, Durant is forced into a deadly alliance to protect Doubell's innocent niece, Christine.
From rain-slicked ambushes to a final, explosive showdown in the town of Lusc, Durant must navigate a landscape of ""gold fever"" and betrayal. This is a gritty tale of redemption where the past is a brand that cannot be easily forgotten.
