The Black Horse Westerns

RIO BONITO: Joe Kettle possessed the grit and fighting blood of his father, and his father before him. And he needed it, for Wilshaw Broome -- once a loyal foreman of the Standing K ranch -- was using hired gunmen in his effort to seize the Kettle domain. Supported by an ageing Hector Chaf and Ben McGovren, Joe sets out to win back his birthright. But each of the three men had his own special reason for going up against overwhelming opposition, and it wasn't all to do with property and livestock To overcome Broome's force, they would play a waiting game, take advantage of the hidden trails and scrub thickets along the Rio Bonito. Then, when the time was right, they would not hesitate to meet force with force and guns with guns. LAND OF THE LOST: Young drifter Hal Harper rides into the remote town of Senora when he finds himself looking down the barrels of the law.

Harper manages to escape to the remote uncharted desert south of Senora but can he survive in the Land of the Lost?
