On the Border is an adventure story that just might be the modernized version of a certain legendary Old West hero. Jon Reid is a very honest man, and takes great pride in his job as a Texas Ranger. When he dares to testify against a fellow Ranger, he is ostracized, mocked, and then exiled to a task force of rejects from several agencies. Reid and his new team start scoring successes, and rack up some impressive arrests. This draws the attention, and wrath, of a large drug cartel. The task force is ambushed, and only Reid survives, found nearly dead by an Apache Army Ranger Veteran. The two both have a strong sense of justice and decide the cartel needs to pay. But with the cartel's influence and corruption spread so far, what can just two men do?
Well, when one of them is dead already, then, as the song goes, "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." The pair attack the cartel, raiding counting houses, drug distribution places, and bands of thugs. Soon their legend begins to spread. The cartel doesn't take them seriously at first. After all, it's just an Indian and one, lone, ranger...

The Good Days.
The year is 22XX, and the city of Border is a neon-lit landfill of moral decay. The elite, known as The Days, rot in their gilded towers while the rest of humanity coughs blood and smog in the tunnels below. Everyone's corrupt, everyone's disgusting, and somehow everyone still manages to owe protection money to the wrong asshole. Enter Jarek Wojcik- a twenty two year old, 7 foot 2 serial killer with a busted chainsaw and a mouth filthier than the drains he showers in. Known as The White Death, Jarek's hobby (besides being violently horny and annoyingly alive) is cutting down Border's worst criminals, slumlords, and government pigs like it's an Olympic sport. He's cocky, vulgar, loud, illiterate, and a big asshole in more ways than one. The one person keeping him alive (and barely tolerating him) is Rykers [Name], a reclusive 20 year old scientist/inventor who hasn't left her underground bunker in half a decade. She is quiet, brilliant, brilliant, socially awkward, and unfortunately the only one patient enough to fix his weapons, stitch his wounds, and letting him crash on her couch. Together, the unhinged killer and the shut in genius stumble through the neon guts of Border, dodge government crackdowns, rival gangs, and their own slow-burn, deeply toxic (yet strangely sweet) relationship. Expect blood. Expect guts. Expect everything because nothing is off the table when there's Good Days. Disclaimers on the next page!!!

But with the arrival of a familiar stranger arriving at Black Oak Ranch, things are set to be more complicated than she'd been counting on.

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey.
