Jack Slater series (#2-6) by Johnny Gunn
Requirements: ePUB Reader,1.7 MB
Overview: I’ve had a wonderful and varied time along this bumpy highway called life. I spent my early years in Santa Cruz, California, swimming, fishing, and wallowing in the splendor of redwoods, the Monterey Bay, and a loving family. Then, my four years of high school were spent living on the Island of Guam. That was back in the early 1950s Yes, Virginia, I am that old, but only in body, not spirit.
My first job in radio was in 1958. I bought the Virginia City Legend newspaper in that old western mining community in 1971, and retired from having a job in 2010. That’s when I changed from being a reporter of news to being a writer of fiction, and over these last few years have found my western and crime/mystery stories published as novels and in magazines and anthologies, around the world.

“This is the 1880s, we’re supposed to be civilized,” Slater says following an attack that killed one of his best hands. Greedy men, mean killers, outlaws all, don’t understand the concept of civilized, and it take men like Jack Slater to stand up to them, more so when his family is threatened.

Warren’s foreman, Sonny Belafleur, is an outlaw using the Warren ranch in a cattle rustling operation tied to feedlot owner Blake Wilson. Wilson has found a flaw in Nevada’s laws concerning brands and when ownership is transferred and is using that flaw to rustle considerable heads of beef. One rustling attempt brings the operation into focus for Jack Slater and his highly intelligent adopted son, Rob. An inept sheriff begs Slater to end the rustling but continues to get in the way.

Thrilling action from page to page, from the valley floor to the granite spires of the Ruby Mountains.
A vicious gang of killers moves into Elko County, Nevada and stages a robbery following the Fall Stock Sales killing several and nabbing thousands. Disappointed by the sheriff’s slow response, Jack Slater, whose herd was at the sale, takes matters into his own hands and leads a posse of ranch buckaroos in chase.
The gang is led by Pa Appleton, a couple of prison friends, and his son and daughter, each with numerous killings under their belt… and each harboring doubts about Pa as their leader.
A more inept gang would be hard to find, yet Pa’s gang continues to evade capture, killing people at every chance as they’re chased through Mound Valley and into the rugged wilds of the Ruby Mountains.
