About this ebook
A veteran on the frontier has his eyes on the prize but needs to watch his back in this thrilling Western novel from the author of The Lawless Frontier.
A nation is staggering to its feet after the long, devastating Civil War. The West is full of dreamers, wanderers, fighters and builders. One man has a plan to build a railroad—that plunges him into a brutal battle for survival.
IN A LAND OF BEAUTY AND DEATH…
In the high Rocky Mountains, Civil War veteran Marshall Brewster has a vision of wealth and fame. Under the tutelage of a hardened railroad tycoon, Brewster will build a railroad connecting Colorado’s booming silver mines to a country starved for wealth—and maybe win himself the hand of a beautiful woman in the process. But as in war, Brewster’s plan is soon shattered by the enemy: an angry, proud and desperate tribe of Cheyene warriors, a competing railroad baron and the ruthless, murderous hired guns at his beck and call…
On a landscape of towering mountains, driving snow and clear rushing streams, the blood of fighters and innocents is being shed. And for a man who thought he already had his fill of war, another is just beginning—with no retreat, no surrender, and even bloodier than the battle he left behind…

About the author
Long a western enthusiast, Lords of an Empty Land is Randy Denmon’s third novel. His first novel, The Lawless Frontier, was a finalist for the Western Writers of America Spur Award.

Randy was born, raised, and still resides in Louisiana. A Gulf War veteran, he is a practicing civil engineer when not writing.
