From the review: "In a story that neither assumes nor requires previous knowledge of the series, Hard West 2 sees Gin Carter and his posse run afoul of the demonic Mammon. While attempting to rob a train that turns out to be a ghostly locomotive straight out of hell, Gin is tricked into playing a high-stakes poker game against Mammon who predictably cheats. Gin is left without a soul, cast out into the unseasonable blizzards plaguing the Hard West.
What follows is a quest for revenge, a troubled reconciliation with the missing Kestrel Colt, and a battle for the destiny of Gin’s young ward, Flynn, a teenage girl with an extraordinary gift that she doesn’t understand."
