A family saga...

The explosive saga of the Grangers...a family torn by its heritage, wealth and responsibilty of power. At stake on the vast ranch is an untapped mineral wealth of silver, perhaps gold, certainly coal, and quite possibly, geothermal energy as well. On the ranch, and at its mercy, is a pilot atomic breeder reactor under construction, which just might be the key to a radical solution for the energy crisis in a large part of the southwest. There are sinister forces fighting the reactor idea. Suddenly the vast cattle herds are prey to the recently revived scourge of rustling. Then there is the pressure from the legislature in Santa Fe to take over the ranch as a recreational area. Against this background, the two brothers, Tom and Will Granger, together with Tish, old Matt's stepdaughter, play out a dramatic and absorbing story in this big, exciting family saga.
