How did it happen? How did a Texas frontier town such at Flatonia fall victim to the likes of Artemis Paine and his cronies? Why doesn’t someone stand up to him? Or maybe someone has and paid a terrible price. On the heels of two cold-blooded killers, Ed Stiles and Silver Thornton, Marshal Jubal Stone and his deputy marshal, Tanner Burns, ride into Flatonia, a town recently renamed Paine. Immediately, they feel the stares of nervous citizens and frightened store owners. But it’s when the Waco lawmen meet Sheriff Reed and are strongly encouraged to move on that Jubal and Tanner smell a rat. Jubal Stone is not the kind of man you strong arm. Neither is his deputy. They came for Stiles and Thornton and aren’t leaving without them. But how many more fugitives is Artemis Paine hiding in his town? Take cover and keep your eyes peeled. Jubal Stone and Tanner Burns have just ridden into town, A Town Called Paine.
