All things found. All things fixed.Jude Demarco will take any job in the station-city of Nicodemia, so long as it doesn't involve religion or art. People care too much about religion and art, and where there's passion, life gets messy.Then Charlotte Beck walks into his life with a lit cigarette and a lousy deal. She needs him to track down a stolen painting--one sought by art collectors, criminal masterminds, and the Catholic Church. To find it, she needs to locate the men who stole it.She won't take no for an answer.In a city where crime lords are saints and good deeds are a commodity, Demarco soon discovers that if he wants the truth about his own dangerous past, then he's going to need to bend a few rules.And life is going to get messy.

Fourteen stories of justice, beauty, and innovation that prove you don't need to be young to be ambitious. Too old to make a difference? Step aside, kid. We're Not Done Yet.

Technology has boomed in the years since Texas became independent. Antigravity's cheap. Weapons shoot all manner of energy. Human modification has become as common as football on a Friday night.Yet, not everyone embraces technology.When a rancher is murdered, Sheriff J.D. Crow calls upon his old-fashioned tracking skills to find the killer. When the trail leads him to a complex conspiracy, J.D. is forced to confront the very core of his beliefs. Doing the right thing has always been straightforward, but now things don't seem so simple.What does it mean to hold hard the line of Justice in an Age of Metal and Men?

War blazes all around, but it's not J.D.'s war. Not this time.There are two bounties out for Francis William Brown. One alive. One dead. J.D. finally catches the man he's been after all these years when Francis comes without hardly a fight.But it ain't ever that simple. A bullet in the skull would be proper for what Francis has done but keeping him alive might be the key to ending the war that's tearing Texas apart. J.D. needs to decide if keeping a promise and ending the war is worth the risk of seeing the worst criminal in the history of Texas walk free.An itch at the back of his skull tells him that maybe all this is part of Francis' plan.Will he kill Francis in cold blood, or is there still Honor in an Age of Metal and Men?

Something ain't right in the town of Swallow Hill.A boy's cold blooded murder yanks J.D. from his life of peace. Guilt at past failures drives him, but soon the problem in Swallow Hill proves to be too much to solve alone. Problem is, there's nobody he can trust: not his old war buddy, not the sheriff, and definitely not the good-looking gentleman from the city. Seems everyone around wants him to shoot someone else.J.D. has to decide: is he going to go in guns blazing or is there a better way? Can there possibly be Peace in an Age of Metal and Men?
