Catch and Saddle
by L. P. HolmesDeath came cheap. A lot of men would have figured it a bargain to buy the deed to the Pinderlee spread for a single dollar. Clay Hanford knew better. He knew that the thousands of acres of lush grasslands in the Fandango basin were a graveyard for anybody who got in the way of Kingg Morgan and his killer clan. Old man Pinderlee had gotten out while the getting was good--and Hanford was moving back in when the odds were bad. Morgan had the men, the muscle, the law, and the land all in his ruthless hands. Hanford had just the scrap of paper in his saddlevag, the guns at his side, and the bullets in his belt. It didn't add up to a fair fight--but land war never was.

Yet Dobe and Ponco are found lynched soon after, and the town's sheriff, who has thrown his allegiance with the Teepees, is reluctant to investigate the unsolved murders.

Singing Wires: A Western Story
by L. P. HolmesWhen word of the Pony Express being formed reached Clay Roswell in Texas, he decided to get a job as a rider. He was told his best chance for employment was along the desert stretch in Nevada Territory, so that was where he headed. Along the trail, he met two brothers, Jess and Hoke Pickard, and agreed to team up with them, at least as far as Salt Lake. They made camp one night in Weber Cañon, east of Salt Lake, but as Roswell lay in his blankets, the Pickards tried to club him to death. They stole his money and his horses and left him for dead. It took Roswell a long time to make it to Fort Churchill in Nevada Territory, and when he finally did, the Pony Express was shutting down and the only jobs available were with crews hired to string telegraph wire across the desert. And it was there in Fort Churchill that Roswell saw the Pickard brothers again, applying for work with the superintendent of the telegraph company. Roswell’s brawl with the brothers then and there made for an unlikely introduction to superintendent Jack Casement, but he liked what he saw in Roswell and offered him the job as wagon boss for the outfit. But the fight with the Pickards was not over, and conflict with Indians as well as an organized gang of hijackers would only add to the challenges now facing Roswell, a simple man looking for an honest wage.
The Gabriel Horn
by Felix HoltIn the last immense wilderness of western Kentucky--the Jackson Purchase country--the need for men who were really men was great. Big Eli qualified on every count and yet in caring for his motherless son, Little Eli, he displayed a tenderness and gentleness that any mother might envy. Only a man of Big Eli's size and strength could blow the Gabriel Horn, the hunting horn which played so important a part in the lives of those rugged individuals fighting for an existence on one of the last of the American frontiers. It was Little Eli's ambition to grow up to become a man his father could be proud of and who could in his turn come to blow the Gabriel Horn. The Gabriel Horn recounts the experiences of Big and Little Eli Wakefield in their ever-widening search for freedom from the confinements of the encroaching civilization of the 1800's. Love and romance are here in great plenty. The bound girl, Hannah Bolen, enters Big Eli's life as his rescuer, only to become so terrified of the possible results that she flees into the forest. Here is a realistic novel of the American frontier of 1818, with a great hunter for a hero, an exciting picture of frontier life and an altogether engaging love story, told with authentic detail and delightful touches of humor by a writer new to the field but old in his knowledge of the period in which he feels so thoroughly at home and at his ease.

Over time, Temple forgets her past and becomes one of the Cheese, but Rae continues to wonder where her loyalties truly lie. When her training is up, will she really be able to raid her former colony? Can she kidnap other girls, even if she might be recruiting them to a better life? When a Cheese raid goes wrong and the humans retaliate, Rae's loyalty is put to the ultimate test. Can Rae find a way to restore peace--and preserve both sides of herself?
