Keystone Ranch Books
Art Pendragon, owner of the Keystone Ranch, has called a special meeting of the ranchers to address the problem of rustling. The gang and its suspected leader, Flynt Matlin, appear to be operating out of the fortified Gorre Valley. It'll take a small army to batter its way into the valley, and casualties are sure to be high. As a result, people are hesitant to fight. But when the rustlers daringly raid a picnic of women and children, kill a Keystone rider, wound another, and take Gwen Pendragon and the rest of the women and children hostage, war is immediately declared.
His name is Gr dj, a misshapen, one-eyed hunchback.
A COWBOY'S QUEST When Link Lochlin was thrown from a wild bronc that busted his arm, broke his leg and sorely bruised his ego, he likely would have died without the help of a giant of a blacksmith named Evan Thompson. Link owed Thompson his life, but all the smith asks is that Link deliver three chisels once his wound shave healed. Never one to sit still for long, Link is back in the saddle and heading off on his quest before his casts are off. Little does he suspect this simple delivery will lead him straight into a gang of horse thieves and an adventure that will forever change his life.
Mysterious forces drive Gabe Allen to leave home in search of the Keystone Ranch. Job by job, handout by handout, he finally makes it. But his next journey will be far more dangerous, more demanding. He is to see an arrogant lady safely home to her own ranch where her sister is being held hostage by an outlaw gang whose leader is almost certainly insane. Gabe's only weapons are his wit, ingenuity, and a .44 revolver; but what can one man and one gun do against an outlaw who decorates his stronghold with the skeletons of other men who have come against him?
