The Whispering Outlaw
Texas Tough
The Naked Range
A gent who played a lone hand would never make a big killing. So The Whisperer planned a spree of daring robberies that would make him a legend, and for a gang, he recruited a group of ornery outlaws. All The Whisperer wanted was one chance to strike it rich – all it would take to bring him down was one man who got too greedy.
Wyatt Kirk’s success as a bounty hunter had earned him the title of the meanest gun in Texas. He just figgered that the thieving cowards he had no trouble tracking down could use a little rough handling. But now every young hooraw with a gun wanted to outshoot the legend – and that made Kirk nervous. So he headed back to the family ranch to see whether he could stay out of the heat for a while.
Tom McBride was the gun-slinging foreman for the Arrowhead Ranch. No man could be expected to use lead on his own kin – but his sister’s husband was spearheading a fight against Arrowhead. McBride was sure that Arrowhead would never stoop to dirty work – but if that was so, who had shot one of the neighboring ranchers, burned out another and dynamited a third? He had to find out fast – because both sides were looking at him.

The Gun-Hung Men They rode in darkly off the back trails, the badges of their professions thonged tightly against their thighs and gleaming with oil . . . They were men who slapped leather for a living and loved their work, and when they threw their irons into the Border Desert War it meant only one thing. There’d be more than one riderless bronc roaming the sage before many days. isbn: 978 14084 62898

Fox
Cimarron Blood
It seems easy enough for James Fox to convince rancher Amos McRae that for $60,000 the mineral spring on his land could be converted into a spa that would attract a railroad into Stick City. When things go wrong, Fox is in a situation that requires all his wits to come out alive. Two deaths threaten to expose his identity – a turn of events that could put him at the wrong end of a hangman’s noose.
Blue Mitchell soon finds out there’s more going on at the Broken S Ranch along the Cimarron than breaking horses. Land feuds and a failed mine have made Albert Buckminster murderous with rage – and if Blue gets in the way, it makes no difference to him. It’s a good thing Blue Mitchell’s no stranger to trouble, because this time it’s coming his way in spades.

The Rain Tree
Rawhide
Death in the Mountain
Jim Martin and his family live in a plains region where drought is a way of life. When Jim hears of an old-timer in Rock Springs who is able to conjure water, he seeks him out. Water is worth more than gold in this community and when Jim learns that the source of the water is a mysterious tree, Jim takes a shoot back to his own ranch . . .
Included in this collection of stories featuring the Rawhide Kid, one of T. T. Flynn’s most famous and popular characters, is the original Rawhide Kid story. The classic tales of his adventures in this collection stand as some of the finest Western stories ever produced.
The Virginia and Truckee was more mountain goat than railroad. In the 21 miles between the desert sink at Carson City and the town at the end of the rail, it climbed 1,600’. To Ken Murdrock, used to the sturdy firmness of the plains in Oregon, the journey up the mountain was a nightmare. But it was just the beginning of what would happen to him in the gold and silver madness of Virginia City.

With the help of a Mexican bandit and the local sheriff, Kane decides to rally the town in a fight for its independence.
Bill Tenn opened his eyes and stared at the armed man bending over him. ‘What’s wrong?’ he asked. ‘We’ve found Buck Flynn, is what’s wrong,’ the man replied. Someone was trying to pin a killing on him . . . How Tenn cleared himself of the murder charged against him makes a fast-moving and action-packed story of the untamed West.
Included in this collection of novellas is Legend of a Badman which tells of the colourful character of Clay Allison. Ray Hogan looks beyond the rowdy reputation to portray a man of integrity, willing to put his life on the line for what he believes in. Was Allison a western Robin Hood, defending the poor and the weak? Or was he a vicious killer who gunned down more than 20 men? Ray Hogan presents the truth – not the myth, but the man.

The Cañon of Maverick Brands
The Chains of Sarai Stone
Riders of the Sundowns
Here are three novellas – tales of adventure and intrigue, action and emotion – all set in the sweeping landscape of the Old West. In the title story, a man’s attempt to buy back the ranch that was once his father’s draws him into a web of danger. The Mustanger presents a quest for a stolen herd of wild horses that leads straight back to a former friend. And The Magnificent Gringo sets a story of discovery against the dramatic backdrop of Spanish Califormia in 1854.
On a spring morning in San Jacinto, Kiowa and Comanche raiders massacred Silas Stone’s wife and two of his sons and took Stone’s grandchildren with them. After ten years, Stone and his agents found the boys. But they could only hope and pray that Sarai was still alive. Then, 25 years after her capture, Sarai Stone returned to the white world . . . but could she ever truly come home?
When three hundred head of cattle disappeared from the Tomahawk brand in Pioneer Valley, Mack’s suspicions of the truth earned him threats on his life and a price on his head. Mack never felt so alone in his life, but if he wanted to get out of this alive, he’d need all the friends he could get.

Last of the Duanes Buck Duane’s father was a gunfighter who died by the gun and, in accepting a drunken bully’s challenge, Duane himself was forced into the life of an outlaw.

A short novel and ten stories, all of which capture Olsen at his best. Lone Hand takes the theme of the gunfighter fleeing from his past. Jason’s Journal is a ghost story of passion set on the Arizona frontier. And rarely has Olsen reached the level of tension that he achieves in the masterful Five Minutes. Each tale in this collection is a fine example of Western storytelling at its peak. isbn: 978 14084 63062
