Hurricane Pinto: The Story of an Outlaw Horse
by Thomas C. HinkleThat pinto colt was spirited and strong, as well as strikingly beautiful. So it was not surprising that the cowboys of the Gunnison Ranch spotted him out on the mesa near Big Thunder Mountain where he was roaming with his mother, a half-wild range mare. All that fall and winter they tried to capture Hurricane Pinto, but he was slippery as an eel and too smart for them. It took five cowboys, tophands at the ranch, to catch him. And then he threw four of them, including Ben Williams, the greatest rider of them all-and raced after Ben with his teeth bared. Ben went over the top of the corral like a squirrel. Everyone decided Pinto was a born outlaw, except sixteen-year old Joe Gunnison. He insisted on taking the young horse, so it was really a relief to Joe’s father when two tough-looking hombres stole the pinto. But Joe wasn’t going to lose his horse. He went after him, and that was the beginning of a series of adventures and a thrilling escape through the horrors of Death Valley and past the Funeral Mountains. In the end, Hurricane Pinto saved the life not only of Joe but of Joe’s father. No one ever called him an outlaw again.

Ora Danny sogna un pezzo di terra su cui costruire un ranch e un po’ di soldi per recuperare l’istruzione che ha dovuto trascurare. Nell’intimo nasconde il desiderio di trovare un bel ragazzo dall’aspetto effeminato con un carattere dominante: una combinazione più rara di un unicorno. Nel ranch in cui lavora arriva un giorno da San Francisco un arredatore d’interni, Laurie Belmont, un uomo così bello da lasciare senza fiato persino i cavalli e tanto coraggioso da arrivare quasi a uccidere per proteggere Danny da un’aggressione. Laurie sta cercando il modo di sfuggire al controllo di una madre autoritaria, un padre debole e un fidanzato ricco e privilegiato. Ma nonostante l’innegabile attrazione fra il ragazzo di città e il cowboy, i loro mondi si trovano in galassie diverse, e tutti sanno che i cowboy non cavalcano unicorni.

by Mari Collier Katia PaganiToma il Justine, fissò terrorizzato e incredulo il pannello di controllo e l'acqua che scorreva sotto di lui. Cos'era successo negli ultimi centoventiquattro anni? Era sul terzo pianeta lontano da una stella che la civiltà dominante chiamava Terra e Sole. Al momento del suo atterraggio era l'anno del Signore 1712, secondo il loro rozzo calcolo. Doveva assolutamente trovare un luogo meno popolato per nascondere la sua navicella, che conteneva le informazioni sul pianeta e i suoi abitanti, che aveva raccolto, informazioni codificate sui cristalli, in modo da poterle studiare in seguito e da poterne trarre indicazioni preziose. Toma conosceva un posto in quel continente che non aveva mostrato segni di attività sismica. Se fosse ritornato nei continenti più civilizzati, la maggiore densità di popolazione avrebbe aumentato il rischio di essere scoperto, molto prima che una nave spaziale del suo pianeta, si fosse messa alla sua ricerca.
