Summary
What if, in our endless drive to tame new lands, we provoked a response from nature itself? What if nature designed a creature to take on the most dangerous species on the planet? What if that design was meant to replace us at the top of the food chain? Could we stop it, or would nature forcibly take its planet back?

A long dusty trail filled with romance, gun smoke, hardship, and death.
