Gordon D. Shirreffs Classic Western Collection: Ten Tales of the Old West
The complete ten-novel collection of one of the West's greatest storytellers—all in one volume.
Some men are made by the West. Others are unmade by it, and come back harder. Ex-marshals framed and left to rot in Yuma, riding home with a decade of cold fury. Sons who swore never to return until a father's body hit the dust. Soldiers sent alone into Apache country when a regiment was needed. Men falsely accused, hunted by the very law they once served, pushing through hostile territory with nothing but grit and a rifle they trust more than any living soul.
From a cavalry post on the edge of annihilation to a sun-scorched valley primed for range war, from Cheyenne captivity to a blood debt that only one gun can settle, Shirreffs puts his men in the kind of trouble that doesn't negotiate. His frontier is merciless and bone-dry, and every page earns its keep.
Winner of the Spur Award and the Owen Wister Award, Shirreffs was called a master of pacing and gritty prose by those who knew the genre best. This collection proves why. Ten complete novels. Not one wasted bullet.
