If you liked "The Three
Mesquiteers," "The Range Riders," and other classic Western
movies, you will love reading this homage from the amazing imagination of Charles Lee
Jackson II.
Some of the roaring in the Roaring Twenties was from six-guns!
At the end of WWI, three
soldiers set out to bring law and order to
still-untamed reaches of the West. US Marshal Kit Cassiday, his singing
sidekick Slim Rafferty, and their comical partner, Alibi Jones, earn a
reputation for protecting the innocent and fighting villains—whether those
villains break the law or hide behind it. Dubbed "The Trail Riders"
and mounted on their faithful steeds, Gent, Duster, and Unk, these three
out-ride, out-shoot, and out-think train robbers, cattle rustlers, claim
jumpers, and other lawbreakers.
Their rootin’-tootin’, rip-snortin’, gun-slingin’ adventures
begin in "The Secret of Cibola," when Kit and Slim come to the aid of
their old pal Alibi, who's been accused of robbery and murder. Next Slim and
Alibi land in plenty of trouble when an entire train is stolen right out from
under them—but Kit helps uncover the astounding how and why as they seek the
“Train to Los Padres”. Then the trio investigates spooky doings when a herd of
cattle vanishes into thin air, seemingly the loot of “Phantom Rustlers”.
Finally, when the mail doesn't go through, and the US Mail driver is missing,
the boys become "Cowboy Couriers", only to be drawn into a deadly
trap by a very pretty young woman…
More exciting adventures set in Charles Lee Jackson II's pulp
and comic book inspired "Emperorverse," which has been compared to
Lester Dent's over-the-top, widely beloved Doc Savage adventures. This new pulp
novel, drawn from the Emperor's Secret Files, features a youthful Kit Cassiday,
the retired lawman who many years later would sell the Emperor his Three-bar-R
ranch and become one of his trusted advisers.
