Dalton's Quest - When Dalton accepts that his quest to find his missing sister is impossible, he abandons it, but with his endeavors having led to him borrowing money he can't repay, he faces the wrath of his lenders. A trip to Boot Hill beckons until Deputy Larry Doyle intervenes and saves Dalton's life.
Shortly afterward, the courageous deputy mysteriously disappears and nobody knows what happened to him, so Dalton embarks on a new quest to find his savior, a mission that takes him to the lawless outlaw haven of Gothic. There he will become embroiled in a world of shifting loyalties, betrayals and an ever deepening mystery concerning the fate of the missing deputy.
Trooper Dalton - After getting involved in a saloon room brawl in Fort Lord, Dalton is arrested. His situation worsens when an unsympathetic judge sentences him to a year in jail unless he takes the alternative of signing up with the Plains Cavalry.
Dalton reckons that anything will be better than breaking rocks, but when he joins Company H - known as Company Hell - he soon regrets his decision. The troopers are a motley collection of prisoners recruited from jailhouses, or gunslingers running from arrest warrants.
As his fellow troopers are more determined to destroy the peace than to keep it, Dalton will need all his survival skills to serve out his term and all his ingenuity to defeat their plans.
