Standoff at the River
The Jessups were ranchers plain and simple. Then the hard-dealin’ Morgan Hill got it in his head that there was only room enough for one rancher in Maverick Creek, and he was it. When Hill’s pack of sidewinders showed up, Jerricho John told ’em he’d die before he’d leave. And die he did. With iron hanging from his hips, Ed Jessup rode hard for Morgan Hill’s spread.
In thirty years of prospecting, old Jim had never discovered Amber’s Mirage – a shining cliff above a spring that ran heavy with gold. But his young sidekick took up the search to find the gold – a search that would cost him two years away from wild Ruby, the woman he loved.
The stranger on his unshod horse arrived in Shepler’s Spring in late springtime seeking Henry Shepler the blacksmith. That was the beginning of a killing in the roadway, then a night-long battle around the stage-company’s corralyard, and for Henry Shepler, a twist in his life he had never dreamed could happen.
Slattery felt a little uneasy. In Yellowstone City, cowhands from the largest ranch in the area began picking fights with the newcomers and Slattery learned the hard way who ruled the valley. One man, driven by greed and lust for power, set out on a ruthless course to destroy Slattery and steal everything he had – including his woman.
Tug Jones was a lost man when he drifted into Paradise Valley. The war had left him without a home, a hope, or a future. But now he was trapped in a bitter range war – and if he didn’t fight, the woman he loved would be destroyed. But could he kill again? Tug had to find out – or die trying.
A remarkable battle was fought at Beecher Island, Colorado, in 1868. Forty-nine untrained volunteers, two wounded officers and a dying army doctor were nailed down on a sand-bar in a shallow river by more than a thousand Cheyenne, Arapahoe and Sioux. The desperate men on Beecher Island levelled their rifles . . .

Catch and Saddle
Jackson Gregory The least likely candidate for marshal of Sundown was Jim Torrance – a man wanted throughout the Southwest for every crime from bank robbing to murder. But Torrance knew he had to wear the badge if he was to clear his name. And if his luck and his .44s held out, Torrance would do it.
Clay Hanford knew that when he bought the legal deed to the J P ranch in Fandango Basin he also bought trouble. The Basin was run by tough, ruthless King Morgan and his two hard-case sons. They claimed the whole basin for their range – and that meant the J P spread, too. So a legal deed wasn’t about to be enough, Clay Hanford knew. It would take bullets and blood to hold on to the J P!

Hanging at Pulpit Rock
Cliff Hardy rode into Ragtown with his red sorrel, two Colt .45s, and $40. He’s leaving town with all that plus a six-horse team, a freight wagon, and an extra two hundred bucks – all won with a handful of aces. But what’s a cowhand to do with such wealth? Cliff’s idea is likely to make him one of the richest men in Texas. Or it might get him killed . . .
Pulpit Rock was a mining town where fistfights were entertainment and the law was whatever foul temper Sheriff Hawk Fremont was in that day. The town had enough of Hawk’s brand of justice and when he went off on a fishing trip, everyone knew the only way he would come back was dead. But no-one had counted on Deputy Johnny Johnson.

Two Rails West
Gunshot Trail The action is set in the early days of the range wars between the cattle kings and the sheep herders. Into this seething feud came “Black” Clem Andros, whose fearsome legend made men gun-shy. Both sides wanted to hire him, but they found it took more than money to buy his gun . . .
Entering the Broken Bottle saloon, The Masked Rider listened anxiously for news of his faithful companion, Blue Hawk, now missing for more than two days. Blue Hawk, charged with murder, was doomed to die at sunrise on the county gallows. This was one showdown the Masked Rider couldn’t win.

A Man Named Yuma
All it took was one look to know that young Phil Slader was bad to the bone. The son of a murdering outlaw, he was adopted by the man who put a bullet in his father’s heart. No more than a boy, his cold eyes burned with hate. But he’d show the world what kind of man he was!
Custer’s Seventh Cavalry was called in to protect settlers. Riding as Chief of Scouts was the Rio Kid. Another more treacherous force was driving the Indians to massacre. The Rio Kid had to shoot his way to the truth, before the reign of blood took them all in its wake.
When the war ended, precious freedom was finally Ned Huddleston’s. But when Ned stood up to a gang of small-town toughs, he traded that freedom for the harsh life of an outlaw. A wanted man, he fled west, where he discovered the song of the six-gun . . . and the shadow of the noose.

Britt Cahill stood in the shadow of the gallows. But he was desperately seeking the man who could prove him innocent of murder. All clues pointed West toward Montana. But when he boarded the Missouri River packet, Cahill was stepping into a rattler’s nest of hardened renegades who had orders not to let him reach the end of the voyage alive!
Blue Mitchell wasn’t expecting much when he drifted into Carrizozo, a hot, dry town on the edge of hell. But he got plenty of bullets and plenty of blood. And the young cowboy found courage he never thought he had when he was caught in a battle for land and cattle high on the sun-baked mesa, where tempers ran branding-iron hot.
Rivalry rubbed between Yuma and his Apache brother Cipriano like a knife. Now the Southwest wasn’t big enough for both of them. Yuma and the party of stranded stagecoach travellers he had rescued were caught at a dwindling water hole in the fiery desert, surrounded by Cipriano and his band of blood-hungry Apaches.

The Faro Kid
The Phantom Corral
No doubt, Johnny Montana was the kind of man who made things happen. Katie Swensen had known instantly that if Johnny asked her to go away with him, she would. And when the time came she did indeed. Johnny was the handsomest man she’d ever met but it wasn’t until a few days later that she learned he was also a gambler, road agent, and a killer.
All his life, Steve Rennevant would remember that night in Cheyenne when he killed two men. The crowded saloon, the uproar at the poker table, a derringer blasting the player down. He had drawn and fired – fast. Faster than ever before. And when that yonder gunman staggered back against the bar, Rennevant had whirled and fired again, fast enough to beat out the gambler he had arrested.
They called him The Kid . . . His name was Johnnie and he never knew what it was like to get a decent break, until the day he cut a killer stallion out of a herd and saddled him for his own. The Kid thought it was his first real stroke of luck. It wasn’t. It was a set-up for trouble which few men would dare to fight – but one hard-luck kid was ready to go against it . . .

Dev Devereaux had been falsely blacklisted as a train wrecker, but he’d set himself a mission: find the actual dynamiter and choke the truth out of him. Now he was riding in the engineer’s cab. They were hurtling through the Wyoming wilderness far beyond Ohama . . .
Trailmaster Ben Murdock already had enough on his hands when five thousand head of cattle came to a near stampede in a storm. But that was nothing compared to the trouble ahead for this outfit riding across Kansas with a herd to deliver – an outfit whose loyalties were split between the trailmaster and the arrogant Wilson Stiles.
With the coming of the settlers, Jeff Mordant smelt danger and sought to protect his interests. A bitter struggle ensued, from which he emerged fighting to defend the very thing he’d aimed to destroy. Now he was despised on all sides. Even lovely Lola Valdez had her doubts about this tough and ruthless cowboy.
