The Mark of Zorro (1924) is a novel by Johnston McCulley.
Originally published as The Curse of Capistrano (1919), McCulley's
novel was rereleased to capitalize on the success of the 1920
silent film of the same name starring Douglas Fairbanks. Beloved by
generations of readers and moviegoers alike, Zorro is recognized as
a symbol of justice and rebellion throughout the world. "Outside
the wind shrieked and the rain dashed against the ground in a solid
sheet. It was a typical February storm for southern California. At
the missions the frailes had cared for the stock and had closed the
buildings for the night. At every great hacienda big fires were
burning in the houses. The timid natives kept to their little adobe
huts, glad for shelter." While the rich live in comfort, warm and
safe from the wind and driving rain, the poor Californian people
hide in their makeshift homes, fearful not just of the weather, but
of the governor and his vicious soldiers. Oppressed for so long,
they have nearly given up hope when a masked man arrives, a
swordsman by the name of Zorro. As news of his actions spreads,
revealing his knack for stealing from the rich in order to give the
poor their due, the governor sends his most ruthless officer to put
a stop to the vigilante, once and for all. With a beautifully
designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition
of Johnston McCulley's The Mark of Zorro is a classic of American
pulp fiction reimagined for modern readers.
Serenity races against time to save Inara's life in an original
Firefly tie-in novel that reads like a lost episode from the show A
deadly disease Months after Inara leaves Serenity, Mal and the crew
finally learn the reason for her sudden departure: she is dying of
a terminal illness. It is Kiehl's Myeloma, a form of cancer that's
supposedly incurable, and Inara has very little time left. A
disreputable scientist Through their shock and despair, rumors of a
cure reach the crew. Expert Esau Weng is said to have developed a
means to treat Inara's condition, but he has been disgraced and
incarcerated for life on a notorious Alliance prison planet. An
infamous prison On the planet of Atata, inmates are abandoned with
no guards and left to survive as best they can. What's more,
terraforming the planet did not take properly, so the world is a
frozen wasteland. To save Inara, the Serenity crew must infiltrate
the prison...
It was a lonely life the Wolfer led. He ate when he felt hungry,
drank as he wanted, and slept where he fell. It hadn't always been
that way...Once there had been a cabin filled with the warmth of
Katie's smile, a bright flower that touched every corner of his
life with love...that was all gone now. He'd left her one furious
winter's night, and when he'd returned, Katie lay in the snow
outside their cabin, dead, surrounded by wolf tracks. Roan McCrae
had been taking his revenge on wolves ever since. Soon, however, he
learns that the wolf isn't the real scourge of the land. That
epithet belongs to Azle Steppe and his men. A powerful man, Azle
Steppe's greed knows few limitations. When he decides to take over
the valley, Roan McCrae is the first one he'll burn out and run
off. And then the Wolfer will become the Wolf..and the Hunter will
become the Hunted.
Leigh Greenwood takes us back to the lawless days of the Wild
American West in this sweeping, epic story of family, honor,
notoriety, and one last desperate hope for redemption. Zac Randolph
is a gambling man. One of seven infamous brothers, he'd kicked the
Texas dust off his boots and found his new home in the Little
Corner of Heaven Saloon in San Francisco's notorious Barbary Coast.
Running a saloon is exactly the kind of work he's best suited for,
and he's happiest keeping the rough men who frequent his halls in
line. Until a figure from his past comes calling and his whole
world is flipped upside-down. Zac has no interest in helping a
woman like Lily Sterling navigate the streets of San
Francisco-despite what he once promised her. But no matter how he
tries, Zac can't shake the determined do-gooder. When the chips are
down, this daring gambler is left with no choice but to trust his
instincts and go all-in to save the day, the girl...and maybe even
himself. Previously published as Lily.
"I don't think I could stay away from you if I tried." He shook his
head. "And I have been trying. I told myself not to go to your
house tonight. I ordered my hand not to hold yours. But apparently
I can't control myself when it comes to you, Elle Brooks." When a
kitchen fire forces young widow Elle Brooks to move in with her
friend Bryn and her motley collection of rescue animals, she
doesn't foresee ending up in the muscled arms of handsome cowboy
and veterinarian Brody Tate. Spending time with the hunky cowboy
and his adorable young daughter as they rehabilitate rescued horses
reminds Elle of all she lost in a car crash years ago. Brody is
devoted to being a good dad for his spirited daughter. He hasn't
let romance even enter his head. But now he's met Elle. Spending
time with her is shaking up the calm he's worked so hard to
achieve, and he can't seem to get this woman off his mind. Praise
for Jennie Marts: "Funny, complicated, and irresistible."-JODI
THOMAS, New York Times bestselling author, for Caught Up in a
Cowboy "Full of humor, heart, and hope, deliciously steamy but
still sweet, with a secret at its heart."-JOANNE KENNEDY,
award-winning and bestselling author, for Wish Upon a Cowboy
Johnson is accused of assaulting a white woman, a deadly charge for
a black man in 1875. Knowing he'll be lynched if he stays in St.
Andrews, Indiana, Johnson flees to the grassy plains of Kansas
looking for the freedom unavailable to him back East. What Johnson
doesn't know is that the woman's father is a powerful businessman
determined to track him down. For a man on the run, the West seems
like the perfect place for someone withdrawn like Johnson to become
a new person, until a top Pinkerton agent named Cole Charles comes
into town hunting outlaws. Johnson finds himself in Flatridge,
Kansas where he is hired as a stable hand. It's here he meets an
aspiring writer named Margret Herston who makes advances toward
him. Johnson is wary of involvement with another white woman, yet
he falls for Margret anyway. When Cole Charles comes to town and
discovers he is a wanted man, Johnson has no choice but to flee.
Johnson escapes to Fort Worth, Texas, and meets a rowdy woman named
Eddie who is quick with a joke and even quicker with her pistol.
Despite his lack of experience, Eddie hires Johnson to be a
wrangler on a cattle drive made up of other black cowboys headed to
Wyoming. With Cole Charles on his trail, the cattle drive will take
Johnson further than he ever imagined and force him to confront his
greatest fear when he comes face to face with Cole Charles himself.
WILD SALVATION is a western novel that explores diverse
perspectives on race and the role of women in the Old West through
an epic action-packed adventure. Readers will see a side of the
West that has often been left out in fiction as Johnson tangles
with bandits, hired gunmen, and racism.

Originally published more than fifty years ago, THE BIG SKY is the first of A. B. Guthrie, Jr.'s, epic adventure novels of America's vast frontier. THE BIG SKY introduces Boone Caudill, Jim Deakins, and Dick Summers, three of the most memorable characters in Western American literature. Traveling the Missouri River from St. Louis to the Rockies, these frontiersmen live as trappers, traders, guides, and explorers. The story centers on Caudill, a young Kentuckian driven by a raging hunger for life and a longing for the blue sky and brown earth of big, wild places. Caught up in the freedom and savagery of the wilderness, Caudill becomes an untamed mountain man, whom only the beautiful daughter of a Blackfoot chief dares to love. With THE BIG SKY, Guthrie gives us an unforgettable portrait of a spacious land and a unique way of life.
From the award-winning author of Eliza Waite comes a gripping tale
of adventure and survival based on the true story of the ill-fated
Donner Party on their 2,200-mile trek on the Oregon-California
Trail from 1846 to '47. Nineteen-year-old Ada Weeks confronts
danger and calamity along the hazard-filled journey to California.
After a fateful decision that delays the overlanders more than a
month, she-along with eighty-one other members of the Donner
Party-finds herself stranded at Truckee Lake on the eastern side of
the Sierra Nevada Mountains, stuck there for the entirety of a
despairing, blizzard-filled winter. Forced to eat shoe leather and
blankets to survive, will Ada be able to battle the elements-and
her own demons-as she envisions a new life in California?
Researched with impeccable detail and filled with imagery as wide
as the western prairie, Answer Creek blends history and hearsay in
an unforgettable story of challenging the limits of human endurance
and experiencing the triumphant power of love.
