1 The Last Outlaw (1964)
Logan was first to leave. Sick of living on the run, hiding his face in public, he dropped out, met a girl, and got married … and then there were three.
Then Bob got killed in a gun battle … and then there were two.
Joe, the youngest, took off on his own, searching for trouble and building a reputation as a vicious killer.
Which left Emmett, the oldest. He had turned outlaw with his brothers when there seemed to be no other way … but he had never killed. He couldn’t understand the fates that drove Joe … but he knew it was up to him to step in and stop his brother.
Then fate brought the three brothers together in Arroyo Seco: Logan as a cowman, Joe as a hired gun for a sheep rancher … and Emmett caught in the middle. Now it was brother against brother in a desperate fight to the death … and which brother would Emmett have to join?
3 Arizona Rider (1962)
Wes Marriner was a hired gun, sharp, cautious, and skilled at killing. Yet he found there was such a thing as one job too many and too ugly for any amount of gold. But his decision to quit couldn’t be final. Either he took the money and job, or someone else would be hired for it—with instructions to get rid of Wes first. And that someone else would be the one man in Arizona Territory with a faster draw and no heart left at all. There was one question he had to ask himself: was he willing to bet his life on it?
4 Lynch Law Canyon (1965)
It was called Mule Canyon, and it was one of those gold-boom towns in Colorado where men gathered quickly to make a fast fortune, and left just as suddenly. It drew all sorts—the greedy, the adventurous, the lawless—and Sam Calhoun.
Calhoun was tough; he had lived his life through his gun, on the right side of the law. Now he figured it was time to make something of himself, and he figured Mule Canyon to be a good place to settle permanently.
Only a bunch of road agents saw it differently. They were stealing half of the outgoing shipments of ore and doing a good job of destroying the town. Sam Calhoun reckoned he had a stake in their not succeeding.
5 The Lusty Breed (1966)
Chris McLean had been a professional gambler for six years and had learned the odds the hard way in rough dives, border saloons, and the blazing streets of boom towns. But when he returned to the family ranch in Arizona Territory to protect his brother’s holdings, his luck suddenly ran out.
He was ambushed and beaten near to death. He was robbed of his stakes. And he found himself cast out by his family, his best friend and his girl. Anybody else assaying those odds would have had sense enough to quit the game while he could.
But Chris was not just a slick card sharp – he had always played straight – and this time he was playing for something that meant more to him than money. So he dug down and put his last possession on the line – his life – and set out to recoup or go down with his gun in his hand in a final turn of the cards of fate.
