☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue contains two Western stories. "Terror Rides Into Town" depicts gunslinger Bud Tarboe disrupting the peaceful Greene Valley settlement with his violence, forcing the unarmed townspeople to confront his reign of terror. "Maverick Marshal: Stranded" follows a marshal who catches up with train robber Bix Bowers on a bluff above the Wild River, leading to a gunfight and showdown between the two. A secondary story titled "With Gun Slung Low" portrays a criminal gang using fear and intimidation to control a saloon and the townsfolk within it.
A mysterious gunslinger known as the Cholla Kid arrives in town and crosses paths with a woman named Stella, who blackmails him into robbing the local bank—but not before he recognizes the scheme for what it is and tries to warn a young man she's been manipulating. When Stella forces the Kid into the heist anyway, things spiral into betrayal and gunfire as their plan crumbles around them. Caught between a woman's ruthlessness and his own violent code, the Cholla Kid must navigate a robbery that's far more dangerous than anyone bargained for.
When a drifter intervenes to stop Tate Marlin from abusing a young woman, he discovers that the whole town of Cabotville has made a devil's bargain with the outlaw gang—protection money paid in dignity and fear. Now the stranger with his gun slung low stands alone against Tate's return, forcing the townspeople to reckon with what they've become.
Maverick Marshal tangles with train robber Bix Bowers on a canyon bluff, and a gunfight sends him plummeting into Wild River—wounded and stripped of his badge. Washed ashore and half-dead, he stumbles upon a rancher's home, where he must convince Adam Galt and his wife that he's a federal lawman, not an outlaw. With trust earned and an old score unfinished, Marshal and rancher ride out together to settle accounts with Bowers and his gang.
Calamity Jane takes on a perilous mail route between Deadwood and Custer as a Pony Express rider, determined to prove she's equal to the task despite the dangerous territory. When outlaws lying in wait attempt to ambush what they assume is an easy target, Jane's quick wits and sharp instincts put her ahead of the game. This tale captures a daring chapter from the legendary frontier rider's past.
When a dangerous outlaw named Bud Tarboe rides into the peaceful farming town of Greene Valley, Marshal Cap Dundeen must dust off his rusty badge and confront the gun-slinging troublemaker—even as arthritis threatens to slow him down. Knowing Tarboe's type, Cap devises a clever strategy to turn the outlaw's own nerves against him before violence tears apart the quiet community he's sworn to protect.
