“I’m sorry, Charles!” the boy cried. “They were only gonna shoot you in the leg and leave you like that, but I shot at them before I thought! And then—oh, God!”
Charles drew a long slow breath and said quietly, “It’s all right, Ben. It’s all right.” He seemed on the point of saying something else, but then he became strangely silent and Ben realized that he was dead.

Blood in the Hills
The leader of the outlaws and rustlers vowed that the hills would run with blood. He was right. But he didn’t know whose blood it would be.
The trouble began when they tried to frame a quiet stranger for the murder of two dead men. They didn’t know his real name or that he was a deadly gunfighter and the son of the man they had buried in an unmarked grave.
Ride the Old West with Van Holt’s hellbound gunslingers. If you don’t like the lone wolf heroes, you can hit the outlaw trail with bold, tough badmen who would rather blast their way into hell than to live by other men’s rules and obey other men’s laws.

Rubeck’s Raiders
The Civil war divided the country and tore families apart.
After the war, two half brothers became legendary gunfighters
and cowboys in the old West--and deadly enemies.
Rubeck’s Raiders, a confederate army unit, were so brutal,
even their own army disowned them. When the leaders’ son and
paramour were killed one night, he knew it was one of his own men.
A man hunt that spanned 10 years ensued.
The murdered girls’ younger sister saw a face in the window
that horrible night, and swore to track her sister’s killer down.
She hires trained killers to hunt him so she can get her revenge.
That’s how both half brothers became two of the most wanted
men in the old West.
Changing names and identities, moving from frontier town
to frontier town, hiding out – all became a way of life, along
with having to fight for their lives at almost every turn.
One half brother knew he did it. The other was blamed for it. One didn’t want anything to do with the other. The other was protecting him.
They are all in one deadly pursuit to get him first.

Hellbound Express
Mad Dog Shorty. Dirty Slim. Dinky Shore. Bull Gandy.
Gray Older. The list goes on and on. They’re all dead now,
killed by Lonesome Red or each other. Some say they were
last seen riding the Hellbound Express to its next stop on
the route to hell. Others say the Hellbound Express was just a
story Jinx Jenkins made up to amuse himself and scare others. Maybe it doesn’t matter. Grubline Gip said it didn’t make
much difference how a sinner got to hell, whether he arrived
on the Hellbound Express or some other way.
It didn’t make much difference to Lonesome Red how they got to hell, as long as they got there. Want to the ride the Hellbound Express? They say it’s waiting near the wild western town of Dead Man Pass for those who are a little too slow on the draw.

Dynamite Riders: 9/11 in the Old West
In the small isolated town of Richman, there were no tall buildings or gas-filled planes to crash into them. When Alf Gant and his men rode through town tossing sticks of dynamite on that fateful day in the fall of 1875, they only destroyed a few buildings and killed a few people. A harmless old preacher. A young couple and their baby boy, who had come to town in a buckboard to do a little shopping.
The problem was that the young woman in the buckboard was Sam Good’s sister and her husband was the son of the biggest rancher east of the mountain wall that guarded Gant’s Basin. Those mountains also guarded a terrible secret. Alf Gant’s real name was Omar bin Laden and the attack on Richman was just the beginning of an insane holy war Gant had been planning for years.
Only a small group of avengers rode into Gant’s Basin and
before they even got started, three of them were quietly
eliminated by the traitor among them.

Curly Bill and Ringo: They Rode to Hell Together
Why did the legendary gunfighter, Ringo, come to Boot Hill?
Rumors and innuendo ignite the small frontier town. Did the
wealthy rancher, Willy Gibson, hire him to combat the cattle rustlers?
Was he here to even up some old grudges? Or to hunt down the
men who tried to kill him?
Miss Sarah, the most beautiful woman in town, seemed in a much
different mood after he checked in at the hotel where she worked.
Curly Bill knew who he was, or thought he should, since they rode
together for a time. Curly also remembered that around Ringo,
you always watched for signs of trouble, if you were smart.
“Would you mind telling me why you’re in Boot Hill, when you’re
supposed to be in hell?” Curly asks.
Ringo glanced at him out of those cold clear blue eyes.
“I came back,” he said quietly. “I got lonesome down there.
Kept thinking about some fellows I should have taken with me.”
