THE MORGANS Like Father, Like Son, They're Deadly ... and Deadlier.? In this explosive new series, William and J.A. Johnstone bring together two of their greatest legends. The Drifter and The Loner. A gunslinging father and prodigal son, united at last, they are the Morgans. And the only thing thicker than a Morgan's blood is a Morgan's bullet ... FAMILY FIRST. EVERYBODY ELSE DIES.? There's nothing particularly unusual for a legendary gunman to be summoned to the lawless, bullet-riddled territories of Arizona. But when Frank Morgan, aka The Last Gunfighter, rides into Tuscon, he finds himself ambushed and kidnapped by a ruthless Mexican bandit named Ramirez and his army of thugs. The only way out is for Frank's son, Conrad Browning, heir to the vast Browning fortune, to ransom his father free. But Conrad isn't giving up one cent. He's got a far deadlier currency in mind ... Disguised as a hardluck drifter, Conrad heads down to the border and scouts the Ramirez stronghold. It isn't long before he infiltrates the compound. But to prove himself, he has to hold up a train with the rest of the gang. When the robbery fails, Ramirez catches on to Conrad's ruse, and the only way out is for Frank to come to the rescue. It's a wild turn of events for sure, but for the Morgans, when it comes to killing their enemies, it's all in the family.
