Even if it means defying the law and becoming a wanted man…

This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “You may think I’m crazy, but the gun actually talks to me,” says Francis Kane, who has agreed to write the autobiography of a gun that had twelve owners. The gun, a.k.a. Michael Gunn, an M-1911 Colt .45 ACP, is a sidearm used by the U.S. military for five-plus decades. Michael fears his usefulness is coming to an end, so he wishes to have his story set to words for posterity. Michael relates the tales of his 12 owners – or “handlers” – as Francis likes to call them. There was the World War I doughboy; a French train engineer; a small French boy during the Nazi occupation; a German Luftwaffe pilot; a WWII American sergeant; a Korean soldier; a USAF Search-Air-Rescue airman in Thailand; the Hispanic gang leader in San Antonio; the young homeless woman from Louisiana; the female SWAT team member in Washington, D.C.; the African-American Philadelphia policeman; and finally, Francis Kane himself. Prior to relating its owners’ stories, Michael spins a lengthy narrative on how its creation came to life.

Book excerpt: Fighting the good fight is enough reason for former deputy marshal Gideon Hawk to get in on the action. But when the defenseless are involved, it gets personal for the Rogue Lawman… Brazos got off lucky this time. His Pa, Blue Tierney, saved him from receiving due justice at the hands of a hangman in Trinity Ridge. Which means the Tierneys and their gang are continuing to roam free spreading their terror… What this town needs is a temporary lawman who exhibits little diplomacy when it comes to doling out justice—and Gideon Hawk is that man. Not everyone is sure of him though, especially a hard-nosed yet fetching schoolteacher and some shady businessmen… Like most hardened outlaws, the Tierneys don’t take kindly to getting pushed out of their territory, and they put up a damned good fight. But Gideon won’t back down until he has them strung up from the gallows they once escaped…
