The Marauders

by Gordon D. Shirreffs

Only Lee Kershaw, the veteran manhunter and soldier of fortune, stood hetween Colonel Eugene Valery and his mad dream of carving an empire out of the Mexican state of Sonora. When Kershaw was summoned to track down a shipment of stolen weapons, the trail led straight to Valery. Valery had a small army of the most vicious gunhands and outlaws on either side of the border. He also had one of the swiftest ships on any sea-a sleek sidewfleele, built for running the Union blockade during the War. Kershaw, who knew about ships, tricked his way into becoming an officer. He would have to destroy Valery from within. Valery's cutthroats resented him. They hated the lean, cold-eyed frontier tighter. And they began to plot his destruction. But Kershaw feared no one -except, perhaps, the beautiful Louisa, Valery's lust-haunted wife....

Marauders' Moon

by Luke Short

A captured outlaw gets caught up in a bloody range war in this thrilling tale of the Old West from a Levi Strauss Golden Saddleman Award-winning author. Lawbreaker Webb Cousins is headed for a short trial and a long stretch in jail. A bounty hunter has him cuffed and covered, with no chance of escape. But when the prisoner and his captor ride into the town of Wagon Mound, death rides with them. In a flash of rifle fire and a spray of blood, Cousins finds himself shackled to a dead man--and unwittingly caught up in a murderous range war he wants nothing to do with. To ride away a free man will take more than breaking his bonds. He'll have to wage a one-man battle against two bitter enemies locked in a vicious cycle of vengeance and cruelty. It will take every ounce of cunning, a double shot of courage, and a long, dark ride into hell for Cousins to finally break free. Luke Short, along with such legendary authors as Zane Grey and Louis L'Amour, helped transform the stories of the American West from dime-store pulp into an immensely popular literary genre. Marauders' Moon is one of his grittiest and most suspenseful stories of western adventure.

Marching to Valhalla: A Novel of Custer's Last Days

by Michael Blake

No contemporary author portrays the Old West with the vibrancy, authenticity, and drama of Michael Blake. As he demonstrated with his international best-selling novel Dances With Wolves (which was the basis for the Oscar-winning film by Kevin Costner), Blake transforms the American frontier into a saga as original as it is unforgettable. Now, in Marching to Valhalla, Blake turns his storyteller's eye on George Armstrong Custer, West Pointer, youngest Union general of the Civil War, horseman, passionate lover, explorer, ardent husband, and, most famously, Indian hunter. In Blake's pages, Custer emerges as a dashing, driven soldier, suspicious of his friends, respectful of his enemies, and ever unable to feel quite alive in the civilian world. Composed in the form of Custer's journal, Marching to Valhalla is an impeccable merging of fact and fiction, a powerful evocation of our bloody past, and a tribute to the endurance of a human heart facing adversity and disaster. A masterpiece of the Old West, Michael Blake's novel is a tragic romance that reveals a Custer never before imagined, and lets us finally contemplate the twisting, uncharted paths to glory and doom. (back flap) Michael Blake's previous books include Airman Mortensen and Dances With Wolves. He began writing professionally while enlisted in the U.S. Air Force from 1964 to 1968. In addition to writing, he is also devoted to public service and has received many honors for his efforts, including the Animal Protection Institute's Humanitarian of the Year Award. He lives with his wife on a ranch in southern Arizona.
