Gathering Storm

THE GLORY OF THE OLD WEST

The two novels collected in this exciting volume capture perfectly the power and magic of Lauran Paine's work. His characters come alive, his plots create suspense, and his descriptions of the Old West are second to none. The title character in "The Calexico Kid" is a bandit who remains a mystery. Even those who have seen him cannot agree on what he looks like. How, then, can anyone bring him to justice? In "Gathering Storm," two gunfighters arrive in a quiet range town within minutes of each other. One gunfighter in town is bad enough, but two can only mean trouble. Deadly trouble.
