| As a young man Monte Calhoun was as wild as they come, thinking the measure of a man was how hard he could drink and how straight he can shoot. But several years of schooling back East have changed him. Now, as steadfast and principled as a young Jimmy Stewart, Monte has become The No-Gun Man.The East Coast has civilized him, and heâ s bringing some of that civilization home to Superstition, Arizona â ¦ even if it means refusing to avenge the murder of his own father. Monteâ s come back for one reasonâ to rescue his younger brother from this lawless land and take him back East.But out here in a land of frauds and outlaws and ambushes, a manâ s principles have a way of folding under pressureâ especially in the face of gunfire. And Monteâ s no different. Itâ s only a question of how far heâ ll be pushed before he starts pushing back â ¦ with a vengeance.Hailing from the western states of Nebraska, Oklahoma and Montana, Hubbard grew up surrounded by grizzled frontiersmen and leather-tough cowboys, counting a Native American medicine man as one of his closest friends. When he chose to write stories of the Old West, Hubbard didnâ t have to go far to do his research, drawing on his own memories of a youth steeped in the life and legends of the American frontier.Also includes the Western adventure, Man for Breakfast, in which the victim of a robbery will leave no stone unturned and no outlaw alive in his search for justiceâ even as he faces bullets, a hanging rope, and a startling revelation. |
