Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cowboy on the right side of justice finds himself on the wrong side of a barrel—from the bestselling Western authors of the Sidewinders series. Mountain Man Smoke Jensen’s long-lost brother Luke Jensen is a dead shot scarred by war—the perfect formula for a bounty hunter. And he’s cunning, and fierce enough to bring down the deadliest outlaws of his day . . . Law of the Gun Luke Jensen has earned this bounty, hunting down the violent man charged with murdering a preacher’s daughter. The outlaw Judd Tyler confesses to many crimes, but not the girl’s murder. And he tells Luke they won’t reach the town of White Fork alive because a corrupt sheriff does the bidding of a cattle baron, and that man’s son is the true killer. Sure enough, halfway to White Fork, Luke and his prisoner are battling for their lives, and when they finally reach town, they’re greeted by a storm of bullets, betrayal, and blood. With a band of innocent travelers caught up in the melee, Luke is outgunned, surrounded, and sure of one thing: his only job now is survival—by the measured, efficient, righteous killing of as many men as he can . . .

Johnstone “[A] rousing, two-fisted saga of the growing American frontier.”—Publishers Weekly on Eyes of Eagles “There’s plenty of gunplay and fast-paced action.”—Curled Up with a Good Book on Dead Before Sundown

Book excerpt: Post-Civil War America. With the nation reunited once again, and its assets no longer bogged down by open conflict, the great expansion westward begins. Railroad tycoons connect the coasts, giving Americans a mobility unlike any in history. Pioneers, renegades, scientists, religious, businessmen, emancipated slaves, soldiers, outlaws, politicians, prospectors, inventors, all flock toward the Pacific. Along the way, new economies are forged; industry is founded; cultures flourish and die. The United States sees an unprecedented growth in its financial, militaristic, social, and international influence. By 1880, the nations population had increased by more than sixty percent since the pre-war era. Lost and tangled somewhere within that sociological conflagration was Bill McCoy, a veteran of that terrible war and a man still struggling to find his place in the country he'd fought so savagely to preserve. Still plagued by vivid memories of the battlefield, Bill comes upon an opportunity that might finally offer him a measure of pride and peace. But unknownst to Bill, a cruel, merciless, sinister force awaits him in the desert. One that not only threatens to shatter his hopes for a future, but that might also cost a great many people their lives. And their dignity.

However, with the right woman at his side and a renewed vigor, he finds what sustained all those who built the west. Courage, the courage to go on and initiate new dreams, ambitions, and to continue on as a Marshal at large, by putting aside any doubts about his ability to serve with Honor.

Download or read book The Philosophy of the Western written by Jennifer L. McMahon and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2010-05-28 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays about how stories of the Old West reflect—and affect—our beliefs and values. The solitude of the lone rider, the loyalty of his horse, and the unspoken code of the West—for many, Western movies embody America and its values, though the view of the country’s history they present isn’t always accurate. In recent years, scholars had declared the genre dead, but a steady resurgence of western themes in literature, film, and television has reestablished its importance and influence. In The Philosophy of the Western, editors Jennifer L. McMahon and B. Steve Csaki examine philosophical themes in the western genre. Investigating subjects of nature, ethics, identity, gender, environmentalism, and animal rights, the essays in this volume draw from a wide range of westerns including the more recent popular and critical successes Unforgiven, All the Pretty Horses, 3:10 to Yuma, and No Country for Old Men, as well as literature and television serials such as Deadwood. The Philosophy of the Western reveals the powerful role of the western in the American psyche.

Nor did he expect to nurse his injury while working incognito on a ranch. Now, instead of chasing the notorious band of outlaws he's been hunting, he commits to proving the woman's neighbor is trying to drive her off her land. Paige Kelly is only trying to protect what's hers when she shoots the tall, handsome lawman by mistake. She fears she'll be arrested, but instead gains an ally. Working together during the day leads to passion at night. Soon, Paige is dreaming of a very different life, but first, she must convince the marshal to turn in his badge and stay with her. A desperate act from Logan's boyhood changed the course of his life and his demons still whisper that he isn't worthy of the things Paige is offering. But as they realize there is more than one villain hiding in plain sight, Logan can no longer deny what’s in his heart. Suddenly a lifetime of putting the law first pales to keeping Paige safe… But has his realization come too late?
