Durango is a 16-year-old mercenary on Mars, barely scraping by, when he is offered the job of protecting the treasure found by an an impoverished band of miners from a race of vicious cannibals. The action is fast and violent. Newly colonized Mars is inhospitable and lawless. And Durango is wonderful - tough as nails, as principled as King Arthur, a hero straight out of the Wild West keeping his small band alive by bravery and wits and an unbreakable code of honor. "Have gun will travel reads the card of a man -- A knight without armor in a savage land -- His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind -- A soldier of fortune is the man called Paladin -- Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam? -- Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home." - Theme song from Have Gun, Will Travel (1950's TV Western) If they ever make a movie of Black Hole Sun, I want this as the theme song.
