Special pre-release pricing! Normally priced at $7.99. SIX-GUN MAN That’s what Dan Hanton was, among other things. A drifter and a loner who preferred wild lonesome country and remote, almost deserted town like Ramada where there weren’t too many innocent bystanders getting in the line of fire if old enemies from the past showed up looking for him.

Nora banged on Lafe Moody’s door and then ...

On sale for a limited time! Regularly $7.99. THE HELLBOUND MAN Jim Benton had come to think of himself as the hellbound man because he seemed to be headed in that direction. But there were some interesting stops along the way. One such stop was a lawless little town called Rustler's Roost in honor of some charming young men who seemed to think other men's cattle, horses and women were theirs for the taking.
