As he infiltrates the prison, what he experiences defies his wildest nightmares — a savage world where death is the only salvation. As tough as he is, Swagger barely escapes with his life — and his mind — intact. But he’s not going to stay away for long. Recruiting six of the hardest, deadliest gunmen ever known, bloody vengeance is soon at hand. Because Earl Swagger is going back to Thebes.
