Description
The world has changed in the past two years. It wasn't the Big Bang, EMP, or comet strike so many had planned for. It was worse because it was so avoidable, like a major corporation going bankrupt because of bad leadership decisions and neglect.
When the funds dried up and all the political machinations failed, nothing remained but the people. Left to their own devices, what sprang up resembled the Old West of the 1800s. Law existed in small towns as much as could be prosecuted by a sheriff and a few deputies backed by a local judge and the townspeople. Outside the towns, homesteads and travelers operated at their own risk, and the bandits and plunderers knew it.
The Girl had been out of the country when things finally crashed. It was a short notice trip when her best friend's father invited them to use open seats on the corporate jet, making a quick trip to the islands. She expected to be there and back before her parents noticed she was gone and avoid the hassle of a conversation about safety. School had been crazy with protests around the campus and finals approaching. It was the break she needed.
That was two years ago.
Days turned into weeks and weeks into months. The island was safe, but her friend's father began to rule with complete authority. That meant no one in and no one out. As supplies began to dwindle, he loosened the travel restrictions to bring in some much-needed items. It was the chance the girl had been waiting for.
However, the trip didn't go as planned. Her trek home would be long and perilous, if she could make it.
Goose Truman was broken but on the mend with the help of Kelly, a beautiful tattooed woman he had rescued. In turn, she was trying to rescue him. Goose was losing his anger and passion for righting the wrongs of the world. Kelly was urging him to retire and be a gentleman farmer.
Yet his former wife Laura's ghost warned that he had one last mission to fulfill.
The governor envisioned an elite force much like Texas had in the early days of the Rangers, that would track the worst of the worst. Goose was the first man tapped to be a Ranger by the governor and later enlisted his friends who called themselves "The Horsemen."
