Showdown At Red Rocks (Dillon Smith - Bounty Hunter)

Showdown At Red Rocks (Dillon Smith - Bounty Hunter)by Bill Williams

This time Dillon rides all the way to Denver to find the Arapaho Gang. He joins up with the local U.S. Marshal and together they track them to Red Rocks. In this episode we meet Soapy Smith, a con man and self-proclaimed boss of Denver's underworld crime empire. He's into small and large scams including fake stock exchanges and lottery offices, running his empire from the Tivoli Saloon and Gambling Hall. Dillon also reveals that his cousin is Matt Dillon, Deputy U.S. Marshal in Dodge City, Kansas.
-------
Denver was the biggest town I'd been to, other than Dallas. Located near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and on the banks of the South Platt River and Cherry Creek, Denver was a pretty town. Too bad it was seein' a huge rise in city corruption, 'cause of crime bosses such as Soapy Smith workin' side-by-side with elected officials and the police to control the elections, gamblin', and the bunko gangs.

I checked into the Larimer Hotel then headed straight for the U.S. Marshal's Office to see Marshal Taylor. I expected him to be out, so I started walkin' the streets and checkin' the saloons. I found him at the Tivoli Saloon and Gamblin' Hall, right in the middle of a confrontation with one of Smith's bushwhackers.
-------
These short stories are well researched by the author. Every town, street name, character, and statistic is accurate for the late 1900th century.

You Can Run But You Can't Hide: Life and Times of Dog the Bounty Hunterby Duane "dog" ChapmanHyperion e-books

"Freeze!"

Duane "Dog" Chapman entertains and inspires millions on Dog the Bounty Hunter, his #1-rated show on A&E -- but there is more to his story. From troubled beginnings and tragedy to triumph and transformation, he reveals all for the first time in this no-holds-barred memoir.

Dog spent the first twenty-three years of his life on the wrong side of the law. In You Can Run, but You Can?t Hide, he offers an inside look at his days as a gang member; his dark years of addiction and abuse; and how serving eighteen months in prison for a murder he didn?t commit helped him recommit to his faith. He also shares stories of some of his most dangerous bounty hunts -- including his capture of Max Factor heir and convicted rapist Andrew Luster, which made international headlines.

In You Can Run, but You Can?t Hide, Dog recounts his incredible story, chronicling his journey from his onetime criminal past to the guiding faith that has led him to become one of the most successful bounty hunters in American history. Against all odds, Dog turned his life around and went from ex-con to American icon in the process. This is his story.

Perfectly Plum: Unauthorized Essays On the Life, Loves And Other Disasters of Stephanie Plum, Trenton Bounty Hunter (Smart Pop series)

Perfectly Plum: Unauthorized Essays On the Life, Loves And Other Disasters of Stephanie Plum, Trenton Bounty Hunter (Smart Pop series)Smart Pop

** COMPLETELY UNAUTHORIZED **
 
Speculating about the cultural metaphors in Janet Evanovich's wildly popular mystery series (which includes 11 books, from One for the Money to Eleven on Top), this anthology takes a look at lingerie-buyer-turned-bounty-hunter Stephanie Plum and catalogs her bad luck with cars (she's blown up quite a few), her good luck with men, her unorthodox approach to weapon storage, and the rich tapestry of her milieu: Trenton, New Jersey, also known as The Burg. The contributors praise the way the series smartly spoofs that familiar chick-lit epiphany—I have a bad job and what I really want is a good man!—in "Bounty Hunting as a Metaphor for Dating," "Why Stephanie Should Quit Her Job . . . but Never Will," and  "Nothing Better than a Bad Boy Gone Good." Several essays veer from the chick-lit perspective and focus instead on the comic theme of luck and chance that ties Stephanie to the barroom gamblers and gangster meanies of her home town in "Luck of the Italian?: Skill Versus Chance."

The Blackgloom Bounty (Five Star Epic Fantasy)

The Blackgloom Bounty (Five Star Epic Fantasy)by Jon F. BaxleyFive Star (ME)

***** A Cast of Characters in the Conan Vein *****

Kruzurk Makshare the magician is asked by the spirit of Merlin of Pendragon, his long dead mentor, to destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. That requires entry into Blackgloom Keep which can only be entered via sorcery. Kruze realizes he needs help, since he cannot use sorcery. He chooses Daynin McKinnon, who has just discovered what may be the fabled Scythian Stone.

Kruze uses the stone to gain entry into the fortress, which causes a whole series of unforeseen and horrific events to unfold for Daynin and his cadre of friends. The colorful cast of good guys includes the lovely Sabritha who becomes a love interest for Daynin. There is also the ghost of a giant resurrected Pictish king named Brude McAlpin, who both helps and hinders Daynin and Kruzurk in the rest of their adventures.

Assorted bad guys include Saxons, Caledonians and numerous other cutthroats bent on capturing Daynin for the bounty put on his head and the bounty he discovered at Blackgloom. Those bounties are the driving force behind all of the chasing, combat and magical events that occur in the rest of the book. And there is a LOT of that in this 445 page epic.

This book provides a wealth of historical detail which should set a new standard for fantasy readers who want more than mere monsters and magic to whet their imagination. Most romance readers, too, will find plenty of the 'spice' they seek, as will all those fantasy readers who are looking for a cast of characters in the Conan vein.

Blackgloom is the first book in a five book series. Episode two, THE REGENTS OF RHUM is in the works. Blackgloom is also being considered for a movie option.
