Instinktiv war ihm klar, dass es nichts anderes als der Tod war, der da über den Horizont kroch. Und es gab kein Entrinnen... Leslie kniff die Augen zusammen und sah in der Ferne eine Reiterschar über die Hügelkette herannahen. Fast zwei Dutzend Männer waren es, alle bis auf die Zähne bewaffnet. Einige von ihnen hatten die Gewehre bereits aus den ledernen Futteralen geholt, die sie an den Sätteln befestigt hatten. Sie können es nicht erwarten, uns über den Haufen zu schießen, ging es Leslie Morgan bitter durch den Kopf. Seine Hand ging unwillkürlich in Richtung des Revolvers, der in dem tiefgeschnallten Holster an seiner Seite hing. „Wenn ich das richtig sehe, dann ist das da vorne Dan Garth persönlich!“, hörte Leslie die Stimme seines jüngeren Bruders Ray, der sein Gewehr fest umklammert hielt. Leslie Morgan nickte. „Ja, du hast recht. Und Jesse Shaws feistes Gesicht sehe ich auch.“ „Ich sage Mum und Dad Bescheid“, meinte Ray. Leslie nickte. „Mach das.“ Ray zögerte noch und Leslie Morgan wandte leicht den Kopf. „Was ist noch?“ „Glaubst du, es kommt diesmal zum Kampf, Les?“ „Es sieht ganz so aus.“

"Young Jimmie Curry's father is killed unjustly by an enraged mob, and the boy barely escapes the same fate. He shoots two pursuers and assumes they are dead, and in desperation becomes a most unusual outlaw, the Red Devil. He never kills, takes only ill-gained money, secretly returns it to the rightful owners and escapes every pursuit on his remarkable horse Meg. Spoiled Charlie Mark has left home to seek thrills and easy money. He vows to find the Red Devil and discover why he is so merciful and so particular about his victims. Charlie trails Meg's hoofprints to the hideout and forces Jimmie to switch roles - but the new Red Devil becomes addicted to the excitement of robbing and killing. When will retribution catch up with Charlie? Can anyone save him? And where is Jimmie Curry?"-- Publisher description.

A Western Story

Jim Curry's Test

Labor Day 1989: Duncan Twist's sleazy client, Nick Varnish, has loaned him a cottage overlooking the salt marshes of Dusktide Beach, a barrier island in southeast North Carolina. Just to the south lies Lorn Island, which is deserted, except for one ethereal resident: the Kindred Spirit. Duncan accidentally encounters a former lover, Tendency Specter, who introduces him to the Kindred Spirit. In turn, the Kindred Spirit introduces him to an unnamed person who has mysteriously disappeared. Intrigued as much by their rekindling relationship as they are by the missing person, Duncan and Tendency begin investigating. As they grapple with both the growing mystery and each other, curious events continue to interrupt both interests. A skeleton half-buried in the sand seems to indicate murder... or maybe not. Or are there two skeletons? Is the skeleton a murder victim or has it been there since the Civil War? Only the Kindred Spirit knows the answers, and it's not talking.

How to Live Like an Artist Even If You're Not One

Grady Spears

Kelly Frazier

Life in the saddle, on the trail, and in the outback has forged a style of living that cowboy-turned-chef Grady Spears calls the Cowboy Way. It's a life where boots and hats are much more about function than fashion. It means that when you eat, drink, and breathe the tending of cattle, raising beef is not just some exercise where loss is charted on a spreadsheet. When your days are filled with the smells of fresh-cut hay and the creaking of worn leather, when you wake up with the sun and to the smell of coffee on the boil and biscuits from the chuck wagon, you are living the Cowboy Way. Because cowboys spend long days outdoors in every kind of weather, sometimes for weeks at a time, satiating a cowboy's hunger is a challenge for ranch cooks from Texas to Florida, north into Canada, and south of the border into Mexico. This collection of almost one hundred recipes is not only the result of Grady's journey across North America, but also the cowboy's journey through history. In Cooking the Cowboy Way, you'll have a ringside seat at the rodeo as Grady wrestles down new recipes from some incredible cowboy cooks and kitchen wranglers who know what hungry cow folks want to eat. And in the process, you'll be carried away by the magic of starry nights by the campfire and seduced by the heritage of the chuck wagon and ranch kitchens, where the menus are still stoked by the traditions of the Old West just as they have been for a century or more.

Recipes Inspired by Campfires, Chuck Wagons, and Ranch Kitchens

Cooking the Cowboy Way

David Manning wrote A Brief History of the Recent Future in the mid 1970s with the idea of satirizing the present by forecasting the most bizarre imaginable future. The result was a verbally animated cartoon tracing the evolution of an apocalyptic conflict between proponents of ganic garbage vs those advocating ficial garbage as civilization's final energy resource. Along the way, the tale introduces such absurdities as a credit-system economy; the Bronx Sanitation Air Force; a 3,000-acre rubber-raft island named Carabia; a news toaster that burns headlines onto breakfast bread; and people metabolically transformed by Mango Tango, the core building block of the artificial ecosystem. Resurrected from the past, the book remains, after 35-plus years, a satiric fantasy, now looking back at the odd events nobody knows transpired but brought us to our increasingly dystopian state. Once the harbinger of a future too ridiculous to contemplate, the original bizarre predictions resonate more every day.
