Waco Books
Waco and Doc Leroy had never seen such low-down goings-on. They knew the job was tough when they took it. The expected more than their share of gunplay and double helpings of killing. But now they're racing from one end of the territory to the other. Cardsharps, killers, thieves, and swindlers are keeping the pair busier than a one-armed bartender on a Saturday night.
Scobie Dale knew how to track a cougar, a cinnamon bear or a grizzly--he packed his Colt Lightning Express and his .50 caliber Remington and sent his hound dogs ahead on the trail. But now Scobie was the one being tracked. The crooked politician from Cheyenne and his murderous sidekick were after the woman Scobie had sworn to protect. And it was gonna take more than a trained team of hounds to get him outa this one. Scobie was in trouble. He liked it that way.
Keeping peace in the lawless Arizona Territory was fast becoming a corpse and cartridge affair. Into the scatter-gun savagery of thieves, Apaches, and border-crossing bandidos rode Waco, the young Arizona Ranger with the dead-on Colt Peacemaker. But with every desperado downed in a fair fight, the pantywaists and gunslingers devised deadlier ways to disband Captain Mosehan's Rangers. Soon Waco and Mosehan had no safe ground--except outside the law, bringing justice to Arizona the hard way: with guns unleathered and spitting lead.
Known and respected for his abilities to doctor wounds and cure ills, Doc Leroy is called upon to prove to his lawless rivals that he is as quick with a pistol as he is with a scalpal
The wild west needs a special breed of man to tame it, and cattle baron Bertram Mosehan thinks he has them in Doc Leroy and Waco, the fast-shooting men destined to become the first Rangers
Law beyond the limits ... In wide-open Arizona, outlaws run rampant, since the authority of the local marshal ends at his town's borders. A different breed of peace officer is needed, and rancher Bentram Mosehan has accepted the responsibility of organizing a new Arizona State Police force. He's looking for men who are brave, honest, and lightning fast with a six-gun -- talents that a drifter named Waco and his amigo, Doc Leroy, possess in abundance. But the two young Texans remember all too well their run-ins with the Lone Star law, and thelast thing Waco and Doc want is to wear a badge. But Mosehan knows these are men you need at your side when all Hell breaks loose. And Waco'll be facing one tough choice once the bullets start flying in earnest: serve ... or die.
