It's the 1880's, and the West is riddled with Mutations, some who wield powers beyond those of Regular folks, others with fearsome but crippling deformities. Samson Emmanuel "Sammy" Cash is one of those Mutations, with the ability to make rings of fire and shoot flaming bullets, and he's on the hunt for anyone who dares to persecute his people. Don't let the attitude fool you, though; he's a momma's boy at heart and a sucker for the ladies. He's up against the forbidding Marshal Luther, who believes Mutants to be children of the Devil and will stop at nothing to eradicate them. On his journey he experiences love and betrayal, and travels a mystical realm in his quest to save his people, and he learns as much about himself as he does about their origins. This novel delves deep into life's bigger questions while remaining fun and provocative in all the right ways. Praised for its beautiful writing and fast pace, it sets the stage for the five books which will follow. The action will intensify with the sequel, due before the end of 2013
