About this audiobook

They call him "Suicide," "Smoke" or simply "Sudden Death." His name is Kit Gordon, and from the banks of the Mississippi to the shores of the Pacific, he is King of the Gunmen. Kit's about to discover that sometimes it takes more than a quick draw and a sure aim to stand up like a man.

Falsely accused of murder and one step ahead of a lynch mob, Kit escapes to the next county over—and a whole new identity. He changes his name and his whole outlook, teaming up with a lawman out to bring the rule of law to this untamed corner of Arizona.

But the two men are soon drawn into the middle of a bloody feud between cattle ranchers and sheepherders. Before it's over, the battle will lead Kit to a moment of truth ... or a lifetime of lies. He'll have to take a stand and reveal that he's a wanted man — or turn tail and run for his life, never looking back.

Also includes the western adventure The No-Gun Gunhawk, the story of a legendary gunslinger's son who swears never to take up a gun — until he is forced to break his vow when it becomes a matter of life and death.

A Galaxy Press audio production.
