Long Ride Home
by W. Michael Gear
"As a warning to those looking for the Hollywood stereotpyed hero, he won't be found in Long Ride Home . . . Theo Belk is as tough as a boiled owl and sometimes just as unsavory. . . ".--Douglas C.

Turn the Stars Upside Down
by Terry C. Johnston
The greatest war chief the Lakota people had ever known reluctantly leads his people into an uncertain future... The compelling and little-known story of Crazy Horse's surrender scant months after his last fight with the U.S. Army at Battle Butte, his futile attempts to find peace for his warrior heart among the reservation Indians, and his eventual undoing at the hands of his own Oglala people. For all his life this warrior has been a defender of the weak and helpless ones. But surrounded now on a tiny red island in a sea of white, he finds himself powerless against the forces arrayed against him in what will ultimately be his last battle, waged against deceptive army officers, and even against Oglala leaders who whisper, connive and conspire behind his back to bring about his fall. Even more disastrous will be those friends who once fought at his side against the encroaching white tide--friends who now turn against him, joining his enemies in their betrayal of this last great hero of the Lakota people. Terry C. Johnston, America's award-winning, best-selling frontier author, brings all his talent to bear on this tragic tale of betrayal with all the immediacy and emotion he has so skillfully portrayed in thirty previous novels. No story of the Indian Wars would be complete without this final episode in the short life of Crazy Horse, this story of betrayal...and the ultimate victory of the human spirit.
Expedition
by Dana Fuller Ross

Then Lewis and Clark became the pathfinders for a nation, opening up a land of limitless possibilities that called with a siren's song to brave men looking for a dream . . . the first Holts. In the heart of this majestic land, Clay Holt and his Sioux Wife, Shining Moon, lead a perilous expedition up the Yellowstone River. While Clay and his band confront fierce storms and the plots of adversaries, brother Jeff Holt heads back East on a treacherous quest; impetuous young cousin Ned takes to the high seas; and in the East, Melissa Merrivale Holt struggles against the unscrupulous businessman to means to have her. With the bravery and fighting spirit, the intrepid Holts battle on . . . to shape the destiny of a nation and to build and American dynasty.
Thunder Moon and the Sky People
by Evan Evans
Thunder Moon and the Sky People originally appeared as stories in 1927 issues of Western Story Magazine. In this work, Thunder Moon undertakes his greatest quest, seeking the long-forgotten home from which he was abducted as a child by Big Hard Face, chief of the Suhtai band of the Cheyennes. Betrayed by and alienated from the people among whom he was raised and whom he had led so successfully in war upon their traditional enemies the Comanches and the Pawnees, Thunder Moon is accompanied only by his faithful friend Standing Antelope. What he finds among the unfamiliar whites is much more than he expected, but much less than the consternation the strange Cheyenne hero brings to those he has not seen since he was an infant. Yet on all his travels and during all his perils, he cannot escape the spell cast on him by the enigmatic Indian beauty Red Wind.
The Hot Kid
by Elmore Leonard
Carl Webster, the hot kid of the marshals service, is polite, respects his elders, and can shoot a man driving away in an Essex at four hundred yards. Carl works out of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, federal courthouse during the 1930s, the period of America's most notorious bank robbers: Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson -- those guys. Carl wants to be America's most famous lawman. He shot his first felon when he was fifteen years old. With a Winchester. Louly Brown loves Carl but wants the world to think she is Pretty Boy Floyd's girlfriend. Tony Antonelli of True Detective magazine wants to write like Richard Harding Davis and wishes cute little Elodie wasn't a whore. She and Heidi and the girls work at Teddy's in Kansas City, where anything goes and the girls wear -- what else -- teddies. Jack Belmont wants to rob banks, become public enemy number one, and show his dad, an oil millionaire, he can make it on his own. With tommy guns, hot cars, speakeasies, cops and robbers, and a former lawman who believes in vigilante justice, all played out against the flapper period of gun molls and Prohibition, The Hot Kid is Elmore Leonard -- a true master -- at his best.
