All that glitters is not gold... Virginia City, Nervada, is a town where men come from far and wide to make their fortune in its gold and silver mines. But although many are struck by the glittering promise of riches, in reality competition is fierce and in this cut-throat world, not everyone is so lucky. For while a few men become millionaires, many more are forced into a brutal life of poverty. When Drew Halliday arrives in Virginia City to try his own luck, he is soon recruited by rich businessman Jack Shannon to help suppress an uprising by the Piute, a group of Native Americans. For Drew, this is finally the opportunity he needs to help him get settled in Virginia City, and all for a few days' work - or so it seems... Soon Drew is drawn into a deadly cycle of war and treachery that will push him further than he could ever have imagined. Can he bring peace to the land? Or will he become the latest victim of the ruthless quest for gold? Filled with twists and turns, On to Virginia City is a Western classic written by one of Britain's most prolific writers.
