Synopsis

Lance Gordon killed his father's murderer in a fair fight, but now he's got a price on his head and has been running from the law every since. Cornered by men of the US Cavalry in Santos, Lance gets rescued by a mystery man who convinces him to join forces and go after a notorious cattle rustler up the infamous Coyote River. Even together the pair stand barely a chance of bringing the gang of thieves to account, much less dealing with the soldiers still hot on their trail. Also includes the western story """"""""Reign of the Gila Monster."""""""

About this title

Review

"In this title originally published in "All Western Magazine" (Sept. 1936), a mystery man entreats Lance Gordon, on the run from the law since avenging his father's death, to hunt down a notorious cattle rustler. R.F. Daley, Michael Yurchak, Jim Meskimen, Fred Tatasciore, and Josh Thompson voice this tale, whose heart-racing plot charges at the speed of thrumming horses' hooves. For listeners keen on fast-paced adventures, who will literally feel the dust kicking up around them."
--Raya Kuziuk, Library Journal

"Hubbard, a prolific writer of pulp fiction, excelled at westerns. This story, from the September 1936 issue of All Western Magazine, tells the tale of Lance Gordon, who, after murdering the man who killed his father, is now wanted by the law. Rescued from certain capture by the mysterious Tyler, Lance joins forces with him to bring down a ruthless cattle rustler. Slick and speedy, the story touches on a favorite Hubbard theme--the blurring of the line between good and evil, right and wrong--and delivers plenty of two-fisted action. Reign of the Gila Monster (first published in Western Aces, September 1937), also included here, is a very entertaining story about a couple of guys who decide to rescue a town from its self-appointed marshal. It's not an out-and-out comedy, but it is decidedly offbeat, with a pair of protagonists who are definitely not in the typical Hubbard hero mold." --Booklist

."..is pure entertainment from first page to last with that L. Ron Hubbard touch giving this tale an enduring reading engagement from beginning to end." --Midwest Book Review
