This is one of the few Bradbury short stories that has never been reprinted since its appearance in the Spring 1948 issue of PLANET STORIES.

But then an accident happens and the fate of the entire Earth colony on Jupiter relies on getting a supply ship through the Asteroid Belt without its instruments, with only a dying old man to guide the way.

At first glance, Shane Preston and Jonah Jones were an odd pair - one a lean, quiet gunfighter; the other a feisty old-timer running to fat. But they shared a special bond and a common goal: to track down the man with the scarred faced who’d killed Shane’s wife. To do that, however, they needed money. So, they hired out their guns as trouble-busters and fought one deadly battle after another, always in the hope that their trail would eventually cross with that of Scarface.

But for the cattlemen - and Linc Boormann in particular - it meant giving up land he had previously used, free of charge, to feed and house his vast herds. Boormann’s answer was simple...to run off the nesters by any means necessary, no matter how brutal. The merciless execution of one such nester brought wandering gunfighters Shane Preston and Jonah Jones to Wolf Valley, and the minute they arrived, open war was declared in no uncertain terms.
