Gilded Seven Vol. 2

“IN SOLEMN AWE PRONOUNCE THE NAME, AND IN ITS NAKED DEATH LESS SPLENDOR, LEAVE IT SHINING ON." – ABRAHAM LINCOLN

BRPD Special Forces member Keigo Westwood and six members of the La Llorona gang were thrown back to the times of the wild west. Though Keigo found allies, including the great Abraham Lincoln, they face a nearly impossible challenge. Drug lord Butch Bronco has a new formula that allows him to predict the future, including his opponent’s every move. Fortunately, Catherine Anderson, government worker for the Western Liberation Organization, traveled back in time as well and is able to rescue Keigo’s group. However, a three-way battle between Butch’s La Llorona gang, Catherine’s Western Liberation Organization, and Lincoln’s forces is about to rock the United States!
