Book excerpt: They entered the valley, harsh yet beautiful. With danger around every hill. Where only a fast gun and quick thinking can save a person, and even then only with luck. A lot of luck. Rex Mumford brings to life in this western novel much of the suspense, action, and surprise of the traditional old west. Follow the lives of those portrayed in this novel during a time when men and women wanted little more than some land and to live peacefully. Yet when faced with difficult challenges they could and would meet them head on. Often they were the judge and jury with little time to decide the fate of those that wronged them. When someone draws on you, you only have two choices, be faster or die in: The Lawless Land Brown's Hole, one of the stops along the outlaw trail. A beautiful valley for ranching, but also a haven for those hiding from the law with no were else to run. More often than not, they possessed only a fast horse, and even faster gun hand. It was fight or die. Most fought, some died. Two deputy marshals, leaving their badges and authority behind, and a girl with a different agenda, all enter the valley known as Brown's Hole. Two looking for answers, one looking for revenge. Faced with challenges and odds never before faced, each will find what they are looking for and a whole lot more than they bargained for. The only problem is surviving.

The gunmen rode hard along the border, pillaging and murdering their way to plunder and wealth. Guided by a powerful landowner and his vicious outlaw captain, the Border Gang was organized, mean, and armed to the teeth. In Prescott, the governor knew Arizona's sheriffs couldn't stop the chaos—and statehood was in peril.

Mayes, a soldier turned Denver detective, is Bowen's first and only choice. Now Mayes—accompanied by an alcoholic army scout, a wanted man, and a fierce native woman—must ride against the cutthroat gang. Mayes' job is to put the kill­ers behind bars—or put them in the ground. His reward: the first-ever badge to be worn by a U.S. Territorial Marshal... "Gritty, fast-paced...a classic Western." —W.

Download or read book Attack Surface written by Cory Doctorow and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2020-10-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cory Doctorow's Attack Surface is a standalone novel set in the world of New York Times bestsellers Little Brother and Homeland. Most days, Masha Maximow was sure she'd chosen the winning side. In her day job as a counterterrorism wizard for an transnational cybersecurity firm, she made the hacks that allowed repressive regimes to spy on dissidents, and manipulate their every move. The perks were fantastic, and the pay was obscene. Just for fun, and to piss off her masters, Masha sometimes used her mad skills to help those same troublemakers evade detection, if their cause was just. It was a dangerous game and a hell of a rush. But seriously self-destructive. And unsustainable. When her targets were strangers in faraway police states, it was easy to compartmentalize, to ignore the collateral damage of murder, rape, and torture. But when it hits close to home, and the hacks and exploits she’s devised are directed at her friends and family--including boy wonder Marcus Yallow, her old crush and archrival, and his entourage of naïve idealists--Masha realizes she has to choose. And whatever choice she makes, someone is going to get hurt. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
