The King of Thrace has hired Hercules and his mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. Hercules does not question King Cotys' motives until he takes his army out to battle and sees them practice on the innocent men, women and children of their neighbors. Deep in his soul something stirs, but is it enough to stop a mad king and his army of the damned from marching across Greece or even Olympus itself?

The Arthurian Legend of Excalibur is reborn in the old Pacific Northwest. A world in which Shamans replace Wizards, gunfighters walk where knights once stood, and in which a mystical gun will change the world in place of the sword of legend. It is here that Caliber is revealed as a tattooed six gun imbued with supernatural power. A land where lawlessness runs rampant and Arthur will have his chance to set balance to the scales of justice.
