Ten and Me

They are unlikely partners: Jack MacKinnon, an even-tempered drifter and part-time gunsmith, and Tenedore Keogh, a consumptive dentist-turned-gunman looking for a quicker way to die. Recruited by the Texas Rangers because of their prowess with guns, MacKinnon and Keogh become national celebrities through the novels of Robin K. Hunter—the woman both men love.

Fame has its price, however, as the two men attract bitter enemies across the West. Despite their differences, Ten and Ranger Jack stick together until a range war forces them to take a stand—against each other.
