Billy rides through the swamps and Everglades to escape Newton and his hired killers, navigating deadly natural hazards including copperheads. The story climaxes with a confrontation where Billy outwits his pursuers through quick reflexes and gunplay, ultimately defeating the gunhand sent to kill him.
A troubled young man named Dick Hendrix ambushes Billy the Kid on the trail, desperate for a quick end to his misery—but Billy refuses to oblige. Instead, Billy listens as Dick reveals the painful truth: his father has always favored his cousin Lem, and when Dick discovered Lem stealing from their dad, his cowardly cousin beat him into silence with threats and fists. With Billy's encouragement, Dick finds the courage to confront Lem about the theft, only to face a gunfight he never expected—and a chance at something far more valuable than he realized.
Billy the Kid faces deadly odds in the Everglades when he tracks down Clay Newton, the man who murdered his loved one. After battling a massive bull gator and earning the alliance of the Seminoles, Billy pursues his quarry deeper into the treacherous swamp—but the Everglades itself may prove a deadlier enemy than any gunslinger. A hard-riding tale of vengeance where nature and justice collide in the murky waters of Florida's wildest frontier.
Billy the Kid faces his most calculating foes yet when a gang of desperate owlhoots hire "the Twins"—a pair of ice-cold professional killers who methodically study their targets and leave nothing to chance. The Twins devise what they're certain is a foolproof trap, luring the Kid to a carefully chosen spot where they plan to gun him down from both sides at once, but a small mistake in their meticulous planning may be all the opening the fastest gun in the West needs.
Billy the Kid walks into a back-room poker game at the Golden Slipper Saloon in Carson City, where a gang of crooked gamblers has been waiting—except they weren't expecting him. As the cards fly and tensions mount, Billy finds himself caught in a deadly game where marked decks and hidden gunhands are just the opening moves.
