All-Time Favorite Cowboy Stories
by Rochelle KronzekA corral of cattle rustlers, outlaws, and other desperadoes ride the range in this bronco-busting anthology of nineteen tales set in the Old West. Spanning the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the diverse stories prove there's no "average" cowboy, but a wide range of rugged individuals. Yet these vividly portrayed characters all seem to possess a sense of freedom, a strong relationship with the land, and a desire to live by their own standards. The result is an action-packed collection that's a feast for anyone smitten by frontier fiction.The roundup is an adventurous mix -- from genre favorites Zane Grey and Frederic Remington to unexpected contributions from Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. There's a romanticized spin from a female author, a unique viewpoint from a former slave, plus a 1902 story by Owen Wister taken from The Virginian, which molded the future of cowboy novels. In "The Caballero's Way" by O. Henry, the Cisco Kid discovers his lady love has strayed into the arms of a scheming ranger -- and concocts a devious plan for revenge. In "The Trouble Man" by Eugene Manlove Rhodes, a battle over territory between sheepherders and cattle owners leads to a deadly confrontation. With a short biography of each author, this anthology celebrates the courage and spirit that won the West!

But now Denn's luck has run out and he's just about broke. His only chance is a million-dollar, winner-take-all tournament at Artie's new casino, but Denn can't play unless he comes up with the $10,000 entry fee. Denn's future all comes down to one hand of poker.

Alla Caccia degli Anormali
by Vianka Van Bokkem Sara Dal PontUn gruppo di scienziati dell'Area 51 mi diede il nome di Elixia. Ero un'abile cacciatrice. La mia storia iniziò in uno dei loro laboratori fondati dalla "Società dei Cacciatori degli Anormali", un gruppo di stravaganti milionari. Il mio compito era quello di uccidere o catturare i nemici che non sono umani. Mi diedero l'aspetto di una ragazza di diciannove anni: la mia pelle e miei capelli avevano un colore tra il blu e il verde. Le mie vene erano bianche e gli occhi erano del giallo più chiaro che potete immaginarvi. Infatti, dovevo indossare sempre occhiali da sole molto scuri perché, se gli umani li avessero visto, avrebbero pensato che fossi un vampiro o un licantropo. Non sapevo modificare la mia forma, potevo solo cambiare il colore dei capelli in argento platino e quello della pelle in bianco. Gli occhi rimanevano dello stesso colore. Le mie capacità mi permettevano di fare il lavoro per cui ero stata creata: cacciare alieni, vampiri, angeli cattivi, licantropi, ecc. Genere: adolescenti e adulti Genere secondario: fiction fantascientifiche e fantasia
