Businessman. CEO. Head of household. Three titles worst suited for Gunner Steele, the short tempered, reticent former Marine and rebel of the infamous Steele brothers. After an evening searching the mountains for his missing office manager, Gunner finds an undercover agent at his front door demanding protection — and that anyone but him be her bodyguard. Usually, Gunner didn’t give a damn if someone disliked him, but this particular curvy vixen had information about the man who killed his father and maimed his brother.

The man called Gunner has been many things: lawman, soldier, outlaw, fugitive. In pursuit of a Man with Crimson Eyes, he's bushwacked by a gang of bandits. After being robbed and left for dead, he's nursed back to health by a kindly preacher. When he enters a dusty old mining town to get payback, he discovers a community divided by rival factions: the Judge and the Baron. A good situation for making quick money. A bad situation for getting out alive, especially when his preacher friend is caged up in the town square.

This SF pulp magazine classic of a female space pirate was a huge hit with readers when it was first serialized in Amazing Stories during the early 1940s. Golden Age pulp editor and author Raymond A. Palmer's masterwork mixes romance, interplanetary conflict, space piracy, and exotic alien worlds into the unique blend that is so emblematic of the science fiction of the period. Black World begins when John Carver of the Stellar Patrol falls for playgirl heiress Ina Malden on the luxury spaceliner Josephine, en route to the outer worlds.

He gathers his wits and calls emergency services. Despite a thunderstorm, Sheriff's deputies, the fire department, and an ambulance all respond quickly. But there's little they can do. The victims are long dead. The snoop invites the emergency workers inside, out of the rain, to await the arrival of the coroner and the funeral home staff. The lightning flashes. The thunder rolls. And the setting inspires the police, firefighters, and paramedics to pass the time by telling stories, both thrilling and chilling. And you are invited to join them.

The Klondike Detective 2 continues the story of John Caldwell. He decided to take leave from the Northwest Mounted Police in Dawson City in 1902 to visit his family.

There, he becomes a Pinkerton's agent and then a double agent employed by Lila McGill, who is Robert McGill's mother, since the McGill gang is now at war with the Barton Tong.

The half-crazed Brand, who likes to play classical music while rocketing toward a half-dozen enemy ships, atomic cannons blasting, is Earth's only hope.
