Welcome back to Dead Broke, Colorado. Where the latest discovery--a giant boulder of zinc--sparks an all-out frenzy of greed and gunfire that rocks the Rockies to their core. . . . Ever since the silver market crashed, the mining town of Dead Broke has been awfully quiet. The local marshal--legendary gunman Duncan "Mick" MacMicking--doesn't have much to do besides outshoot the occasional greenhorn looking to challenge him. But all this peace and quiet is about to end. After getting trapped in a cave-in, Mayor Nugget unearths a mineral to rival his famous "Hope Diamond of Silver." He calls it the "Liberty Bell of Zinc," a massive boulder of pure zinc carbonate. But when word of his discovery gets out, the quiet little boomtown of Dead Broke goes boom--again--with a vengeance. . . . First, a scheming banker shows up to cash in on Nugget's prize. Then, an outlaw gang arrives to rob the bank and steal the Liberty Bell. After a blood-soaked shootout, Marshal Duncan decides he'd better get that big rock out of town before more people die. Fortunately, the mayor has received an invitation to display his zinc boulder at Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Chicago. There's just one problem: getting it there without getting killed. Thanks to all the publicity, every greedy sidewinder in the West knows which train they're taking. And once the shooting starts, this train will be dead on arrival. . . .

Introducing a gun-blazing new series from the masters of the classic Western. Meet Jesse Derringer. Troubleshooter for the Union Pacific Railroad. Where there's trouble, there's Derringer. And where there's Derringer, there's shooting . . . On the Fourth of July in 1867, the Union Pacific Railroad announced plans to expand their line into the remote mountains of Dakota Territory. They chose a site near Crow Creek Crossing to be their headquarters and named it Cheyenne. Almost immediately, new residents began to arrive: dreamers and schemers, drifters and grifters, good folks and bad. The owners of Union Pacific knew there'd be problems. Between settling disputes, laying down tracks, and keeping the peace, they'd need a troubleshooter. A reliable man of steely resolve. A concealed weapon . . . His name is Derringer. Like the gun. Arriving by cattle car with two of his beloved horses, Jesse Derringer is not your typical railroad employee. With the eyes of a scout, he looks for trouble before it becomes a problem for the construction crews--and sometimes starts trouble himself. Usually he handles hot-tempered troublemakers with a cool head and steady hand. But then there are problems that are more complicated and it's Derringer's job to defuse them--before they ignite a full-blown bloodbath. Jesse Derringer is about to learn the true definition of trouble-shooting.
Experience the majesty and terror of the Gold Rush... From the acclaimed chroniclers of the Old West comes the epic saga of the great American Gold Rush--and the boldhearted dreamers who made it all happen. . . THEY CALLED THEM THE FORTY-NINERS. In January of 1848, the discovery of gold at Sutters Mill in California sparked a nationwide frenzy, fueling the dreams of Americans from coast to coast. By 1849, hundreds of thousands of fortune hunters from across the globe headed west to stake their claim. Armed with pan or pickaxe, driven by greed or glory, every last one of them was determined to strike it rich--or die trying . . . For Cord Bennett, it was more than a dream. California was his destiny--even if he didn't know it yet. Forced to leave his family farm in the Ozarks, he reluctantly joins his two older brothers on the treacherous journey west. Together, they would endure harsh weather, fierce tribal attacks, and roving outlaws. But their biggest challenge comes when they reach the gold-rich canyon of Rio Oro. This small makeshift town is barely more than a campsite for prospectors--but the men who control it are as ruthless as any big-city crime boss. And twice as deadly. . . This is the story of the men and women who risked their lives to make their fortunes in a boundless land of opportunity. But sometimes, all that glitters is not gold. And soon, Cord Bennett will truly understand that gold can destroy men's souls . . .

ARMY defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . . They're not what you'd call "the good guys." They're a mangy pack of despicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse.

Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches and gunslinging outlaws are practically a daily occurrence--and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery.

A bold new saga starring Colton Gray, the brazen young deputy marshal from the popular series Old Cowboys Never Die--the story of a one-of-a-kind lawman--and the making of a true Western legend . . . Colton Gray doesn't look like your typical deputy marshal. He's too young and good-looking for a West Texas lawman. At least that's what his boss thinks. As captain, Marshal John Timmons feels this new kid Colton isn't up to the job--at least not yet--so he sends him on minor assignments to keep him out of Boot Hill. But to everyone's surprise, young Colton manages to track down Eli Doolin and Casey Tubbs, the notorious "Old Man Bank Robbers." Not only that, he claims he gunned them down in a shootout, earning high praise from the West Texas chief marshal's office. And a legend is born . . . But there's a hitch to the story: Colton Gray lied. Truth is, he never killed Doolin and Tubbs--not after learning the righteous reasons behind their crimes. Instead, he let those good old boys go free, as long as they promised to stop robbing banks. Sure, Colton may have bent the rules a little. But Colton knows he did the right thing. Sometimes a man has to forge his own path on the road to justice--even if that means going outside the law. Or lying to your boss. In his heart of hearts, Colton Gray knows he was born for the job of U. S. deputy marshal. And sometimes that job gets a little dirty . . .
