A man has lived on the ridge above Nodhaven for six years. He keeps to himself. He drinks at the same corner table at the Vista Sierra. He carries two revolvers and a kind of patience the country has not seen before. No one in town knows his name. When the first demon comes down the High Peaks and kills a child in the schoolyard, the man comes down with it. What he does next is the beginning of an account a country preacher will spend the rest of his life setting down. A Gospel of Lead and Light is an apocalyptic Western in two books. The end of the world arrives slowly, in invitations and agreements, in trains and brands and quiet conversations. A frontier town stands in its path. A stranger who has been carrying a sentence longer than the country has existed stands between the town and what is coming for it.
