The railroad is coming, and it's bringing a death sentence to Boggy Depot.
Once the pride of the Choctaw Nation and a vital stop on the Butterfield Stage line, Boggy Depot is being erased from the map. The Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad has laid its tracks twelve miles to the east, birthing a rival town and leaving the Depot to wither in the sun. Shops are being dismantled, the post office is shuttering, and the once-bustling streets are silent-save for the wind.
Barrett Evanwood refuses to let the tracks dictate who lives and who dies.
Barrett arrives at the Depot not to pack a wagon, but to unpack his surveyor's kit. His goal is impossible: find a resource so valuable or a path so strategic that the Iron Horse has no choice but to bend its route back to the Depot.
But the railroad titans play for keeps, and they've hired Enforcement Agents to ensure their new hub at Atoka thrives at any cost. As Barrett digs into the geological secrets of the Boggy River valley, he finds himself caught between a powerful corporate machine and a community that has already lost its hope. To save the town, Barrett must engineer a feat of logistics that will either change the face of the Territory-or bury him under it.
In a world of steam and steel, Barrett Evanwood is the only man brave enough to stand in the way of the future.
