Book Description
ONE UNHOLY SUNDAY It's not his job. It's not even his jurisdiction. But Clint Adams's friend, Marshal Heck Thomas, will track down Frank Sunday if it's the last thing he does. Sunday's just one of those men who deserve to die—he and his posse will slaughter an entire town, just for the hell of it. So Clint agrees to help his friend—and bring Sunday and his posse to justice. Gunsmith-style... After witnessing Sunday's wake of carnage, Clint hates the killer as much as Thomas. But why is every sheriff west of Amarillo covering Sunday's behind? All Clint knows is that he won't get a day of rest until he lays down some lead on Sunday...

Book Description
"Honigsberg considers the impact of the change that occurred in the fall of 1967, when Martin Luther King's dream of blacks and whites working together in a cooperative partnership gave way to the new cry of "Black Power." His memoir provides a glimpse into the civil rights movement and those who were forever changed by its struggle for human dignity and vision of racial justice and equality."--Jacket.

Book Description
On a lonely road in the kingdom of Sarven, lone outlaw Jack Spade robs an unsuspecting merchant. This is no random crime, however. He was hired to steal a very specific thing: the mysterious Box of Andelaine, which has remained sealed for millennia despite the best efforts of all the world's most powerful sorcerers. It remained sealed, at least, until out of idle curiosity the gunman tried the lid, only for it to swing wide without protest. Even the simple act of opening a box and removing the seemingly unassuming necklace inside has dire consequences for the solitary roughrider. Between the cult of deadly warriors in the service of angels and the demonic rider who won't stay dead for long, the hounds of heaven and hell are out for blood. The worst part for their increasingly desperate quarry is that no one will even tell him why. Seemingly the only solution for the man is to trust the word of an enigmatic sorceress known only as Lucy and travel across a wide, trackless frontier to the foreign, unwelcoming land on the other side. Through it all, the lone gunman can never be quite sure whether or not he's on his last ride.

Book Description
AND THE LAST SHALL BE FAST Lawrence Shaw once got a boost out of being the quickest gun alive. Now he’s partial to telling gunfighter stories rather than living them.

Racked with guilt for not saving his beloved, Shaw vows to shorten the life expectancy of her murderers—and any other hardcase who even thinks of sending hot lead his way.

Book Description
George is a young man exploring the West when he comes upon a small town called The Corners. What he didn’t expect from this little town was to fall in love, or how desperately this love would ravage him. Blinded by love he will be dragged into Machiavellian plots, hired to do a rich man’s killing. It is a complicated and tragic affair, where the power of love and lust can at once flip the plot on its head. ‘Gunman’s Reckoning’ is a nigh Shakespearean tale of innocence, manipulation and tragedy. If you loved Liam Neeson’s ‘Seraphim Falls’ you will love this dramatic epic. Max Brand, the pseudonym of Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944) was an American author of Western’s and pulp fiction stories. He was a prolific author of nigh on a hundred books, in several series spanning many genres. His character, Dr. Kildare, has been adapted several times over the decades in film, radio, T.V and comics. As well as that, he is credited with keeping the passion for the Wild West alive in his dozens of spell-binding novels. Brand’s untimely passing was another hallmark of his dedication to writing, keen to write a war novel he got himself assigned as a war correspondent with an American battalion in Italy, where he was sadly killed by shrapnel. His best known works include the series "Dan Barry", "Ronicky Doone", "Silvertip", "Dr. Kildare", and "Tizzo the Firebrand".

A keen judge of horseflesh takes a wild ride in this suspenseful new Western by USA Today bestselling author Ralph Cotton Two deputies fresh from a hard-won gunfight with the gang of notorious outlaw Dolan Coyle stroll into a saloon in the dusty little town of Broken Hat, inquiring after one Will Summers. The men are looking to swap out their exhausted horses, and they could use extra men, too. Just on the outskirts of town, Axel Coyle waits with the remnants of his brother’s crew, ready to shoot down the men who captured their leader. The deputies offer Summers a paid position in the posse escorting Dolan into federal custody. If they only knew how well acquainted the horse trader once was with the killer chained up out front, they might second-guess their proposal. Dolan had chosen a reckless trail for himself, like Summers and many others had done in their early years. Summers could not say exactly what had directed him off that trail before it managed to settle into his blood, but he’s grateful. He just doesn’t know if that resolution will hold now that his past has landed on him out of a clear blue sky… More than four million Ralph Cotton books in print!

Book Description
The Pecos River flows snake-like out of New Mexico and across West Texas before striking the Rio Grande. In frontier Texas, the Pecos was more moat than river—a deadly barrier of quicksand, treacherous currents, and impossibly steep banks. Only at its crossings, with legendary names such as Horsehead and Pontoon, could travelers hope to gain passage. Even if the river proved obliging, Indian raiders and outlaws often did not. Long after irrigation and dams rendered the river a polluted trickle, Patrick Dearen went seeking out the crossings and the stories behind them. In Crossing Rio Pecos—a follow-up to his Castle Gap and the Pecos Frontier—he draws upon years of research to relate the history and folklore of all the crossings—Horsehead, Pontoon, Pope’s, Emigrant, Salt, Spanish Dam, Adobe, “S,” and Lancaster. Meticulously documented, Crossing Rio Pecos emerges as the definitive study of these gateways which were so vital to the opening of the western frontier.
