Synopsis Beyond the Crimson Skies by : Paul Lederer

Left for dead on the range, a cowboy vows revenge Fifty thoroughbreds. Three hundred miles. Four thousand dollars. Driving those horses across Cheyenne territory is a crazy risk, but the only alternative is to give up the ranch. For the sake of his boss, Kendo takes the job—so long as he can bring seven good men with him. But in this part of the West, few trustworthy men can be found. The trouble comes not from the Cheyenne, but from three of Kendo’s fellow riders, who don’t hesitate when they get a chance to take the herd and leave Kendo bleeding to death on the open range. Lost, exposed, and without a horse, Kendo needs a miracle to make it back to civilization. But he has far bigger plans than mere survival. First, he wants the bullet out of his back. Next, he wants to rescue the herd. And then, when the time comes, he will savor the bloody flavor of vengeance.

Fired from the railroad, a pair of misfits looks for revenge In 1873, the Winchester repeating rifle is the cutting edge of military technology. In order to steal a shipment of the priceless guns, two crooked railroad employees hire a half-dozen border cutthroats. But when it comes time for the heist, they discover something shocking: The rifles have already been stolen. Meanwhile, laid off from jobs on the railroad for petty theft, Thad Folger has teamed up with the booze-addled Tombstone Jack to take revenge on their old bosses by lifting some merchandise from a westbound train. They thought they were stealing cloth, but instead they get three dozen Winchester ’73s. Chased by the army as well as railroad detectives and border thieves, Folger and Tombstone take flight across the prairie. They are not cut out to be bandits, but one thing is certain—if they get cornered, they will have the best guns in the West.

Synopsis On the Wapiti Range by : Paul Lederer

Desperate for a kill, a mysterious hunting party invades a settler’s land Years ago, Lee Trent did a favor for the Cheyenne, who rewarded him by setting aside a parcel of land where no man but he could hunt, trap, or homestead. He lived quietly in the shadow of the snowcapped mountains for years—until the day that a hunting party arrived from the East and turned his peaceful world upside down. The party is led by the bloodthirsty Baron Stromberg, a European aristocrat who has come to hunt all manner of Western game. He has killed buffalo, mountain lions, moose, and deer, and all that he needs to complete his collection is a wapiti, the fabled elk of the mountains. Against his better judgment, Trent agrees to let the baron hunt. But when the shoot becomes a bloodbath, he finds himself caught between the killers from the east and the Cheyenne whom he saved long ago.

Synopsis Rolling Thunder by : Paul Lederer

A settler returns to the town he founded to burn it to the ground When Tom Quinn first came to the little patch of prairie that would become Stratton, it wasn’t paradise, but it was close. The town he built there was beautiful in a humble way, an honest Western village where hardworking settlers came to make new lives. When Tom moved on, he left a happy town behind him. And then a man called Shelley Peebles came and turned it into hell. Backed up by a gang of hired guns, Peebles pushed out the small landowners, using money and muscle to corrupt the village and its people. Only one man stood in his way—the veteran gunman Tyler Holt—and so Peebles used his influence to have Holt lynched. This outrage brings Quinn back to the town he loved so much—not to save it, but to wipe it off the earth.

The banker told no one about the kidnapping, but Deputy Marshal Bill Thatcher—who loves Anita no less than her father does—quickly notices the girl’s disappearance.
