Long fascinated with the Mexican Revolution and the vicious border
wars of the early twentieth century, Winston Groom brings to life
this period of history in a saga of heroism, injustice and love. El
Paso pits the legendary outlaw and revolutionary Pancho Villa,
against a thrill-seeking railway tycoon known as the Colonel whose
fading fortune is tied up in a colossal ranch in Chihuahua. When
Villa kidnaps the Colonel's grandchildren in the midst of a cattle
drive and absconds into the Sierra Madre, the patriarch and his
adopted son head to El Paso, looking for a group of cowboys brave
enough to hunt the Generalissimo down. Replete with gunfights,
daring escapes and an unforgettable bullfight, El Paso, with its
blend of history and legend, is an indelible portrait of the
American Southwest in the waning days of the frontier.
Seeking vengeance on the rebel renegades who murdered his family,
Civil War veteran Nathan Stone sets out on an odyssey that will
take him throughout the United States and across the paths of the
West's most famous--and infamous--characters, including Jesse
James, "Wild" Bill Hickok, and John Wesley Hardin.
Dal and Mac Traven fought on opposite sides of the Civil War but rode home together to start rebuilding the family ranch. Instead, they discovered the chilling aftermath of a guerrilla rampage of terror. It was said no force in Texas could stop these raiders one their bloody path to Mexico. But now the raiders had the Travens' sister and Dal's girlfriend, Kate Connery, held captive. Now they had the Travens on their trail and even though it would be just Mac and Dal and their brother Jesse and Uncle Jack against thirty killers, the Travens would keep on coming. For as Kate Connery kept telling the other women hostages, "The Travens will never stop until we are free or they are dead."
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sophie Jordan
continues her high-concept, edgy Devil's Rock series From the wrong
side of the tracks and with most of her family in jail or dead,
Piper Walsh is used to everyone in town thinking the worst about
her. It doesn't seem to matter that she's worked hard to build a
good life for herself. So she isn't surprised that when she comes
into contact with Sweet Hill's wildly irresistible, arrogant
sheriff, Hale Walters, they're instant adversaries. Piper has
nothing in common with the town golden-boy-turned lawman-and she
refuses to be a notch on his bedpost. Despite rumors, Hale avoids
fooling around with the women of Sweet Hill, many of whom are
hoping to get him to the altar. But staying out of Piper's path is
proving near impossible. The infuriating troublemaker clearly has
no respect for his badge. As she continues to push his buttons, it
becomes clear to Hale that he must either arrest Piper-or claim her
as his own.

Lance Gordon's running out of room and time. Back in the Sierras he
killed the man who murdered his father. Unfortunately that man
turned out to be a Deputy Marshal, and now Lance has a price on his
head. Like Alan Ladd as Shane, Lance wants only to live in peace,
but he'll have to go through hell to get there.
Running from the law and the cavalry, Lance heads for the one place
no sheriff or soldier will go--into the territory ruled by The
Baron of Coyote River. The Baron is the king of the cattle
rustlers--as feared and hated as he is powerful. No one dares take
him on . . . until now.
Lance is sick of running, and taking on the Baron is his last
chance for a second chance. Before the battle is over, Coyote River
will run red with blood, as Lance has vowed to redeem himself . . .
or die trying.
Hubbard often reminisced about his rough and tumble childhood in
Montana. "At the age of three-and-a-half I could ride quite well. .
. . They never let me ride any blooded stock; they always insisted
that I only ride range broncs and mustangs. It did not matter how
often I was thrown when a mustang exploded under me, it was I who
was always scolded and cautioned not to be mean to the horses."
Memories such as this remind us that Hubbard himself inhabited the
world of The Baron of Coyote River.
Also includes the Western adventure, Reign of the Gila Monster, in
which a stranger rides into the roughest, toughest town in the
West--and sets out to show the town who's boss.
""Take a hard ride into a lawless corner of the Arizona territory,
as the audio version of The Baron of Coyote River brings a stampede
of action to life.
"It delivers plenty of action." "--AudioBook News Service"

Logan Cates knew the many ways the Arizona desert could kill a man. He had ridden the sunblasted dunes, tracked the Apache over barren lava beds, sheltered in the dry washes of this forbidding land. Above all, he knew a man needed water to survive. Cates rode to Papago Wells a few miles ahead of an Apache war party led by the vicious Churupati. There he met a dozen desert wanderers whom chance had led to the only water between Yuma and hell. There they came under siege by the Indians. And there they would make their stand--with little hope of living beyond the next day and only a hard man named Logan Cates to show them how to conquer their true enemy: fear.
