It's an American icon: the Western shootist, living by skill, courage and a willingness to spit in death's eye. Now, the greatest names in Western literature turn this mythical character upside down, inside out and every way but loose. . .
In The Trouble with Dude, award-winning author Johnny Boggs saddles a once-famous lawman with some high-paying New York dudes in search of Western thrills who get more than they bargained for; in. Uncle Jeff and the Gunfighter Western master storyteller Elmer Kelton chronicles a quarrel between a hardscrabble Texas rancher and a killer for hire--with results that stun a town. . . William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone offer Inferno: A Last Gunfighter Story featuring series hero Frank Morgan. From a pistol-packing woman to a freed slave heading into a Nebraska winter and an education in gun fighting, The Law Of The Gun is about journeys, vendettas, stand-offs, and legends that end--or sometimes just begin--with the roar of a gun. . .… (altro)
Title: Law of the Gun (Story title: Inferno pgs. 114-131) Author: William W. Johnstone & J. A. Johnstone ISBN: 9780786019571 Pages: 368 Year: 2010 Publisher: Pinnacle My rating: 5 out of 5 stars. In the Law of the Gun, there are other authors with their short stories included. I wanted to read only “Inferno” by William W. Johnstone & J. A. Johnstone. The story takes place before the first book in the Loner Series titled, The Drifter. When I read the tale, I had already begun reading the Loner Series, but it didn’t impact my enjoyment of the story or series. The main character is Frank Morgan, a man fast with the gun; however, he just wants to be left alone. Here Frank is on the prairie when he senses a fire is nearby. When he gets to a rise, the picture before him would bring fear to any man. A whole town is threatened by the rapidly growing fire that is spurred along by strong winds. Frank Morgan ends up getting involved in a feud between the town and a renegade band of outlaw brothers. Frank can identify them from wanted posters plastered everywhere in towns he has ridden through but he’s about to get caught up in a fight he doesn’t want but can’t walk away from either. It’s an exciting tale with a flavor of mystery, hard riding men facing each other in life or death battles. This is a must read for fans of western fiction everywhere!
