Red Butte Showdown: Selected Unabridged Stories from
May There Be a Road includes four unforgettable
adventures - Red Butte Showdown, Friend of a Hero, Wings
Over Brazil, and The Ghost Fighter - all
previously uncollected stories, now offered for the first
time together.
In the title story, the sudden arrival of a frightened,
fatherless boy at Gunthorp's cabin turns into a struggle to
keep a seemingly useless piece of land out of the hands of a
crooked rancher and return it to its rightful heirs.
Friend of a Hero is the story of a detective who is
willing to believe a woman's unproven story about her
brother's death in order to find the painful truth in the
seamy underbelly of a small town. Ponga Jim Mayo has found
trouble again in Wings Over Brazil. When his ship,
the Semiramis, is stolen, he stumbles onto the plot for a
Nazi takeover of Brazil. In The Ghost Fighter , a
look-alike takes the champ's place in the ring, but when the
scam is exposed, it's every man for himself, and the winner
gets the world heavyweight title!
Ranging from the coasts of Brazil to the very heartland of
America, Red Butte Showdown: Selected Unabridged
Stories from May There Be a Road exhibits the
unbridled passion and the sheer genius of a true master
working at the peak of his creative power.
