For Shane Preston and Jonah Jones, the job was as risky as it could be. The Texas Rangers wanted them to ride into a lawless town called Sombrero and kidnap a member of Sam Hashknife’s notorious outlaw gang. If they could fetch him back to Ranger headquarters, it was hoped that he’d reveal the location of Hashknife’s hideout in return for his own freedom.
But Lobo Dawson proved to be a tough prisoner to hold, especially when they joined a band of mismatched passengers aboard the last train to Gun Ridge, and the final leg of their journey back to safety.
As the old loco hauled them across the pitiless Llano Estacado, Shane and Jonah found themselves faced with all kinds of treachery … and to save a young newlywed from life as an outlaw’s woman, and to get even with the sadist who’d dared to whip Shane’s horse Snowfire, the two gunmen crossed the blazing desert on foot to take part in an explosive showdown.
Roger Norris-Green was born in Brighton, UK and emigrated with his parents to Australia when he was a schoolboy. Since leaving Unley High School in South Australia, he has written 140 published westerns under 6 pen names, plus 2 under his own name.
Roger had his first western ‘Apache Crossing’ accepted by the Cleveland Publishing Company when he was a young man in his early 20s, just married, living in the Adelaide Hills. The pen name he used for his very first western was Cole Shelton. He went on to write his ‘Shane and Jonah’ series under that pen name. Many of his westerns have received ‘Best Western of the Month’ awards. Roger lives with his wife Elaine in Moonta Bay, South Australia. Although retired, he is still writing.
