Blood and bullets / by Johnstone, William W.; Johnstone, J. A.;
As sleepy as Buffalo Peak's been, legendary marshal, Elwood "Firestick" McQueen, and his deputies "Beartooth" Skinner and "Moosejaw" Hendricks never expected a couple of drifters to wake it up--by kidnapping two lovely ladies in town. Hardly the sharpest quills on a cactus, these dim drifters call it courtin'. Firestick doesn't see it that way. Now the woman snatchers are heading for West Texas with their reluctant brides-to-be--and unwittingly plunging trackers Firestick and Moosejaw headlong into a rescue. With only Beartooth keeping the peace back home, Buffalo Peak's wide open for an outlaw ambush. Sure as dirt, a gang of owlhoots clean out the bank, grab a hostage, and flee, spurring Beartooth on a deadly chase. In one lousy day a lot of people have gotten on Firestick's bad side. And with rifle cocked, and vengeance burning, Elwood "Firestick" McQueen is going to prove just how unforgiving his bad side can be.

A legend, his name is mentioned alongside Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok. He casts a stormcloud-sized shadow across the untamed Western frontier. Men on both sides of the law fear his wrath. For Nathan Stark is the army's avenging angel, waging war against the hostile Indian tribes that threaten the nation--and murdered his family in cold blood. In Arizona Territory, the Apache have been raiding both sides of the border, slaughtering anyone who gets in their way. This is the same Indian band that kidnapped the children of the Navajo chief whose scouts serve the U.S. Army--and the Navajo will not engage the Apache as long as the chief's children are in harm's way. Now, Stark and Crow scout Moses Red Buffalo have been tasked with rescuing the Navajo. But they aren't the only ones on the trail of the kill-crazy Apache. A group of unhinged scalphunters are looking to collect the Mexican government's bounty on the Apache. Now the territory is about to explode in an avalanche of violence and death.
