From Spur Award-winning author Nelson C. Nye comes two classic action and adventure Western novels packaged together for the first time.In Quick-trigger Country, Turk was just a kid when he got hooked up with Curly Bill Graham's outlaw gang, but quickly made a name for himself as a fast and fearless gunslinger. Membership in the Graham gang brought Turk every bit of the action and excitement he'd always craved-until the border raids turned into an excuse for senseless killing. When the range war flared, Turk and the Graham gang found themselves on opposite sides. He'd fight to the death to get back on the side of the law, but if he wound up on Boot Hill, he'd sure as shootin' take Curly Bill with him!In G Stands for Gun, Sudden Shane rode through the moonlight, his guns ready for the final showdown with Jarson Lume, the merciless gun-boss of Tortilla Flat... Lume had made a hell-hole out of the town from the very moment gold had been discovered in the mountains. Now all law and order had vanished-the killings were so numerous people had stopped counting.But Sudden Shane wasn't the type of hombre who took things lying down. His guns were as fast as the next man's. When the smoke cleared, either he or Lume was going to be dead...Nelson Nye's award-winning westerns: "Start at top speed and keep going hell bent-for-leather through to the smashing finish. The tempo of his stories is breakneck from start to finish. With climax piled atop climax." - Tucson Daily Citizen

It's when they find a young girl, injured and alone, that Snake's real troubles begin... TAGLINE: To make it to the Pacific, they have to beat the Mojave..."--

The life he's leaving behind is none too pretty, filled with ghosts and pain. When he lost his wife and children, he took to the bottle so hard he almost couldn't find his way out again. And his career as a Union spy during the war still doesn't sit quite right with him, even if the man sent to the gallows by his testimony was a murderer. But now Ben's finally sobered up, moved west to Colorado, staked out a claim, and put the past behind him.But sometimes the past won't lie still. Sometimes it just won't stay buried. And, as Ben learns when folks start telling him that the man he saw hanged is still alive and in town-sometimes those ghosts come back.Henry Kidd, Outlaw: In the waning days of the Civil War, a Unionist farmer is brutally murdered, leaving behind a wife and three daughters-and his only son. The family gives young Marsh Perkins a grim duty. He is to track down Henry Kidd, the man who killed his father, and either kill him or bring him back to face justice. Young Marsh is the best hunter in the mountains, and there is no one else to do the job, so he sets out alone, from Tennessee through Arkansas and Texas, one young man on the trail of a ruthless outlaw. And Kidd's trail is easy to follow-wherever he goes bodies tend to be left behind. But what will Marsh do when he finally catches up with Kidd? Will he be able to avenge his father's death, or will he become just another body in Henry Kidd's wake?"Judd is a fine action writer." - Publisher's Weekly
Owen Wister Award winner Gordon D. Shirreffs spins tales of the old west that are exhilarating and bigger than life. You'll find two such full-length tales in this double volume sure to please even the most discerning consumer of Western fiction.In Arizona Justice, when Rowan Locke rode into Llano with a marshal's badge in his pocket and the iron will to bring back a killer, all he heard talk of was the terrible Donnigans, those five wild-tempered brothers who thought they were above the law.In The Lonely Gun, Case Hardesty had to cross what the Conquistadors called the Devil's Highway on foot-or die. It was the highest, driest, meanest desert in northern Mexico. Hot on the trail behind him were the outlaws he'd taken for $20,000-and behind them the lawmen who had sworn death to the lot of them.In one hand he held a Winchester, and in the other a salt sack stuffed with enough bills to buy a ranch in Sonora-if he made it. If he didn't, well, there was plenty of space for a grave out on the Devil's Highway..."The joy of reading Shirreffs' work is in his mastery of pacing and his tough, gritty prose." - James Reasoner, author of Outlaw Ranger.

And it's going to take a man - and the woman the man loves - to see it through. In The Curse of Skull Canyon, everyone in the Never Summer Mountains knows about the ancient Indian curse on Skull Canyon in the highest, remotest reaches of the range, not far from the ranch young Lonnie Gentry shares with his mother and infant half-brother.When a man's agonized wail lures him into the canyon, he finds a youth only a few years older than himself dying from a gunshot wound. Later, when savage men pour into the remote canyon, apparently searching for something they're willing to kill for, Lonnie learns the extent of Skull Canyon's horror.

She's intent on preserving her family ranch's traditional way of life in Colorado at all costs...even if it means crossing some lines.When she finds a pair of calves that have strayed onto the Lost Daughter Ranch, she decides to brand them as her own, even though she's technically operating in a grey area of cattle rustling...something she's meant to be ferreting out rather than participating in. That decision leads her down a road fraught with danger, and exposes an uneasy past leading to an uncertain future for both Emory and her family's legacy.
