Shadrac Cain, or simply Shad to his few close friends, but most just call him Cain, is a mountain man, a loner, and someone whose good side you want to stay on. He strictly adheres to nine of the Ten Commandments, but there are those who just need killing. Cain finds a home in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, but he also finds the region is infested with a band of white renegades, who are as cruel and ruthless as any in the annals of history. When Cain stands between a powerful war lord and his victims, it becomes an all out fight to the finish. Cain first appeared in "Ace High" and was instrumental in helping Ben Blue get his herd through to the railhead. It is the 5 th in the Ben Blue series.
