99 Cents - for Fans of B-Westerns - "Trail Riders" - Newest Emperor's Secret Files Out in eBook


The Emperor reaches into his Secret Files and pulls out old-fashioned Western Adventure with a added bushel of belly-laughs!

If your heart beats to old-fashioned westerns, Saturday afternoon movie serials, the early TV adventures of Kit Carson, the Cisco Kid, and Annie Oakley, or the novels of Louis L'Amour, "Trail Riders" is what you've been lookin' for.

It ain't just the Emperor and his pals who fought crime. Their grandpaws and grandmaws was a'fightin' crime in the olden days, afore 'em. A while ago the Emperor's sometime gal-pal, "Kit" Cassiday, donated a yellowing journal to the Secret Files. That there document was the memoirs of her granddad, who had been a certified gun-tottin', horse-ridin', automobile-drivin' U.S. Marshal out West back in the 1920s, when a new kinduh firepower, a new kinduh crime and a new kinduh criminal was bringing back that Old West feel. All a marshal could count on was his horse, his shootin' iron and his saddle pals. Along with his sidekicks Slim Rafferty and Alibi Jones, and their faithful steeds, Gent, Duster, and Unk, Marshal Cassiday rode the range in the closing days of the Old West. They were lonesome cowpokes, and the lyrics of the trail songs they sang - like "Streets of Laredo," "Home on the Range," and "Sweet Betsy from Pike" - spice these pages.

Here, released for the first time from "The Emperor's Secret Files", are four rootin’-tootin’, rip-snortin’, gun-slingin’ adventures in the California desert, with the boys out-ridin’, out-shootin’, and out-thinkin’ train robbers, cattle rustlers, claim jumpers, and more. Kit and Slim come to the aid of their old pal Alibi when he’s accused of robbery and murder, and end up in deadly danger as they discover “The Secret of Cibola”. Slim and Alibi are in plenty of trouble when they lose an entire locomotive and cars, but still help Kit as he seeks the “Train to Los Padres”. The boys work to solve the mystery of cattle that seem to have vanished into thin air, victims of a gang of “Phantom Rustlers”. A missing US Mail driver and a pretty girl draw the boys into a trap, but you can bet they’ll find a way out, to become “Cowboy Couriers”.

"Blonde Bombshells *IS* fun. It reminds me a lot of early pulp fiction."
        -J. D. Crayne, author of The Invisible Encounter and Saturn Stolen!

When the going gets tough - the good guys call in two tough superheroines!

In this installment of underground comic book and pulp magazine sensation Charles Lee Jackson II's adventures of "The Emperor," two women join The Emperor's battle for justice and peace. Newly released from the Emperor's Secret Files, this book tells the stories of the... Blonde Bombshells!

One woman has amazing powers beyond ordinary men, the other is a school girl just learning that her father was a costumed crime-fighter of the past. Former astronaut Helia Laurel has a secret identity so secret she herself doesn't know that she is also the fantastic Solara, while young Alison Carlsonn tries to earn the right to become a new hero, Shooting Star.

When young Alison Carlsonn discovers that her father had been a costumed crime-fighter of a generation ago, she thinks she’s found herself a career. But when she learns her father is being held hostage by a master criminal, she must become a “Phoenix from Santa Fe”. Helia Laurel wakes to find herself confined in a hospital bed, uncertain of her own identity, and terrorized by the very people who should be helping her, one of whom is about to bring about “The Return of Solara”. Released from hospital, Helia Laurel find she has much of her life to recover, but that it must wait, because Continent-Eight, the Executive of Crime, is plotting evil once again, the blonde bombshell must hurtle into action, as “Solara Strikes Back”. Hoping to win approval of her plan to become a modern-day Swashbuckler, Alison Carlsonn visits The Emperor but finds herself in a life-and-death situation in a bank hold-up, as “Allie Goes to Hollywood”.
