Gunman S Moon

This is the continuation of Jim Coleman's inner battle with his morals to decide what is right and wrong. Jim had spent most of his teen years in parochial schools, and he can't get out of his mind what the nuns taught him. The worst commandment to break is "Thou Shall Not Kill." He has been sent on "temporary duty" to a top secret unit of the CIA, which only the most powerful and influential men in Washington know about. Jim has been designated as the number one assassin, and this takes him to the most difficult assignments in Southeast Asia. As his unit progresses, each mission becomes more difficult and dangerous with Jim, and his unit of five is in North Vietnam more than most. As time comes closer to the United States getting into the war, Jim's unit, along with all the other units, is assigned to rescue to down pilots on the border of North Vietnam and China. This mission, as dangerous as it is, could be the end of all the assassins assigned to the CIA.

A keen judge of horseflesh takes a wild ride in this suspenseful new Western by USA Today bestselling author Ralph Cotton Two deputies fresh from a hard-won gunfight with the gang of notorious outlaw Dolan Coyle stroll into a saloon in the dusty little town of Broken Hat, inquiring after one Will Summers. The men are looking to swap out their exhausted horses, and they could use extra men, too. Just on the outskirts of town, Axel Coyle waits with the remnants of his brother’s crew, ready to shoot down the men who captured their leader. The deputies offer Summers a paid position in the posse escorting Dolan into federal custody. If they only knew how well acquainted the horse trader once was with the killer chained up out front, they might second-guess their proposal. Dolan had chosen a reckless trail for himself, like Summers and many others had done in their early years. Summers could not say exactly what had directed him off that trail before it managed to settle into his blood, but he’s grateful. He just doesn’t know if that resolution will hold now that his past has landed on him out of a clear blue sky… More than four million Ralph Cotton books in print!

Robert Mitchum was--and still is--one of Hollywood's defining stars of Western film. For more than 30 years, the actor played the weary and cynical cowboy, and his rough-and-tough presence on-screen was no different than his one off-screen. With a personality fit for western-noir, Robert Mitchum dominated the genre during the mid-20th century, and returned as the anti-hero again during the 1990s before his death. This book lays down the life of Mitchum and the films that established him as one of Hollywood's strongest and smartest horsemen. Going through early classics like Pursued (1947) and Blood on the Moon (1948) to more recent cult favorites like Tombstone (1993) and Dead Man (1995), Freese shows how Mitchum's nuanced portrayals of the iconic anti-hero of the West earned him his spot in the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
