Ole Devil Hardin's O.D. Connected Ranch was watched over by an elite crew of top hands called the Floating Outfit. Most of them were veterans of the War Between the States. They were skilled with rifle, revolver and knife. Folks in West Texas knew better than to trifle with them. Five tough young Texans whose fast guns, hard fists and quick wits gave help to people in trouble.
There was the handsome giant, Mark Counter; the Ysabel Kid, part Comanche, master scout; Waco, the youngster who grew up real fast when trouble was around; Doc Leroy, with a skill at removing bullets that matched his ability to plant them home; and the man who welded them into a team—a small, insignificant cowhand in appearance, he commanded obedience from the toughest ranch crew in Texas and stood unchallenged at the head of the fast-drawn breed.
His name was Dusty Fog …
J. T. Edson was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback. Edson’s works - produced on a word processor in an Edwardian semi at Melton Mowbray - contain clear, crisp action in the traditions of B-movies and Western television series. What they lack in psychological depth is made up for by at least twelve good fights per volume. Each portrays a vivid, idealized “West That Never Was”, at a pace that rarely slackens.
Genre: Western
