Rise of the Hidden Sun
 

"With nothing to his name but his wits, his six-shooter, and a tattered old treasure map, 'Rattlesnake' Jake Dawson must try to win the greatest treasure hunt the Wild West has ever seen—because the very fate of Western Civilization is at stake, and Jake isn't the only one on the hunt... Who is the deadly outlaw Mary Jane Clayton, and why has she devoted her life to finding a legendary lost city of gold? What is the mythical Hidden Sun, and why will a murderous secret brotherhood stop at nothing to get it? And perhaps most importantly of all, is Jake willing to sacrifice everything to stop them from succeeding?"
