Welcome back to Dead Broke, Colorado. Where the latest discoverya giant boulder of zincignites a kill-crazy war that rocks the Rockies to their core . . .Ever since the silver market crashed, the mining town of Dead Broke has been awfully quiet. The local marshallegendary gunman Duncan Mick MacMickingdoesnt have much to do besides outshoot the occasional greenhorn looking to challenge him. But all this peace and quiet is about to end. Mayor Nugget has unearthed a mineral to rival his famous Hope Diamond of Silver. He calls it the Zinc of Zion, a 1,776-pound boulder of pure zinc carbonate. And when he announces his discovery at the Worlds Fair in Chicago, the quiet little boomtown of Dead Broke goes boomagainwith a vengeance . . . First, a mining expert from Germany shows upwith his eyes on the prize. Then, a reporter from Baltimore arrivesand ends up dead in one of the mines. It doesnt take long for the town marshal and mayor to realize theyve got a full-blown zinc war on their hands. Fueled by greedand backed by gunpowerthe Germans business proposition turns into a very hostile takeover. And then the German himself turns out to be a notorious outlaw with a long history of stealing whateverand killing whoeverhe wants. Theres just one thing stopping him from painting the whole town red: a gunfighting legend who happens to be the town marshal they call Mick . . .
