FOLLOW THE LEADERā€”OR MEET YOUR MAKER
 
They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions. But itā€™s hard to know whatā€™s going on inside the twisted mind of Magnus Lamb, the charismatic leader of an isolated logging town known for its healing hot springs. Some might say heā€™s created a peaceful utopia here on Gunmetal Mountain. But for Cleveland Trewe and his lovely traveling companion Berry, this little piece of heaven is more like Hell on Earth . . .
 
Cleve and Berry first discover the town after an encounter with a dangerous band of Indians. Cleve to vow to find "the Coyote," a young brave last seen headed for the strange settlement of Lambsville. At first, Cleve and Berry are charmed by the townā€™s natural beauty and simple way of life. But soon they see the community for what it really is: a brainwashed cult with some oddball beliefs, a rigid caste system, and a leader who thinks heā€™s the new Messiah. This not-so-innocent Lamb has heard about Cleveā€™s legendary gunfighting skills and wants him to lead an army to expand his power across the West. Itā€™s bound to be a bloodsoaked mission, and Cleve wants no part of it. But if he refuses, thereā€™ll be hell to pay . . .
