The Borderlands cannot be conquered!Mordecai and Daphne have gotten themselves in a tough spot near the highly dangerous town of Gunsight, one of the most remote outposts on the planet Pandora, out in the boonies of the boonies of the Borderlands. Daphne has been taken prisoner by Jasper, a local warlord who controls the area around Gunsight . . . except for that other settlement, the former mining town Tumessa. Theres some kind of big secret operation going on in Tumessaanother warlord, a particularly mutated Psycho named Reamus, is somehow making money. And hes been relentlessly raiding Gunsight and kidnapping Jaspers people. Jasper may be scum, but he needs those people for raids on other towns, so it all has to balance out. Mordecai needs to negotiate for Daphnes release, but now the only way hell ever see her alive again is to kill his way into Tumessa, find out whats going on there, and report back to Jasperonly then will Mordecai get a paycheck and the girl. Mordecai doesnt want the job, but he is pretty devoted to Daphne . . . and somehow, he just might be able to turn this entire mess to his advantage. . .
