Book Description
Outlaws left him with one arm, which he replaced with a specially rigged .12 gauge shotgun. Now Dr. John Bishop has the ultimate cure for evil—one barrel at a time. Even in the darkest days of the Civil War, Dr. John “Shotgun” Bishop never saw anything like the deadly plague sweeping through the Cheyenne nation. Diseased corpses dumped in the wells of the Great Plains. Women and children bombarded with infected blood during midnight raids. This is the new scourge of germ warfare, and it’s threatening to wipe out thousands of innocent lives. The culprits are a gang of renegades led by Shotgun’s one-time protégé, a doctor driven insane by the war, and now hell-bent on spreading pestilence across the land “to witness the cleansing of the West.” When the psychopath frames Shotgun for the plague-murders, he’s forced into a bloody chase, with posses of lawmen, bounty hunters, and a Cheyenne war party on his trail. Dr. John Bishop has only one choice to stop the plague, and clear his name: load up—and start shooting.

But the boys have a big handicap; none of them has any experience handling the business. Before they can agree on a solution to their problem, they get their first business. The friends failed their first contract. “What happened yesterday?” “We are not killers!

Perspectives on Elmore Leonard
Author: Andrew J. Rausch
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476646120
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 195
Book Description
American crime novelist Elmore Leonard (1925-2013) has a voice that is original and immediately recognizable. This collection of original interviews with fellow authors, filmmakers, collaborators and critics covers all things Leonard, from analyses of characterization and dialogue in his writing to his many screen adaptations. What makes Leonard's work more cinematic than that of other talented contemporaries is his deceptively simplistic method of description that still manages to paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind. The unique perspectives in this collection discuss many of Leonard's 44 novels, including those that have been adapted to television and motion pictures like Get Shorty, Out of Sight, and Jackie Brown.

Razormist
Author: Dennis McFarland
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662431422
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
In my first book, First Church of Mars: A Practical Guide to Christianity for the Interplanetary Traveler, I presented the reader with a picture of the church without all the man-made traditions that have choked out its effectiveness. How exactly do we interact with the church under this context? What if the church were able to adapt to individual and cultural needs without judgment, cliques, and division? Just how much of the personality and character that we bring to our relationship with God do we actually keep? This book both asks and answers the question “Does God love everyone, even a professional killer?” (The answer to that question is an emphatic “Yes!”) It is a simple tale centered on a professional killer named Razormist. Misty was raised from childhood to be a professional killer. But one key person in her life planted a seed in her young mind. As she navigates her daily adult life, she comes into contact with a unique community of believers. Through her interactions with that community, she is led into a divine appointment that will change her life forever. There is enough sacrificial blood at the foot of the cross for every human soul. It is easily accessible and always available. As you take this journey with Misty, perhaps you will see God in a way you have never seen him before.
