One Broken Spur
Hey, tough guys! I have been nursing cows longer than you been playing cards, and every one of them cows, have better manners than you do on your best day, and Ive also been a sheriff and every one of them bad ones had better manners than you do right now. The card shark pushed his chair back with a jump, his fingers just an inch away from his shell belt gun. Kens lips curled, showing his teeth, and Ken said, Mister, Ive been lifting cows and calfs for a living most of my life, you dont frighten me in the least, Ive stared down cows and bears, and when I was a sheriff, I stared down the wrong end of a barrel of a gun a time or two, all you have is a plum loco way of looking at things. Lets face it, you just dont look good and your stink is worse. Alasdair said, Gie him a skelpit lug, oh, I forgot, give him a slap on the ear. Ken thought the card shark looked like a rattler had been thrown on the table between us. Then the card shark said, Stand up, Im callin you out, Ill shoot you down like a dog that you are. Ken stood up and faced the card shark. The card sharks hand twitched, Kens hand blurred in movement, and magically, the .45 appeared in Kens hand. There was one loud roar, and the shining .45 bucked in Kens hand, a bluish-colored and acrid smell of gun smoke filled the air. The card sharks legs buckled and gave way. He crumpled to the floor with a bullet hole between his eyes. The bullet hole was a perfect triangle with that third eye Ken had just made.
Broken Spurs
A love worth fighting for… AN UNTAMED MAN The Broken Spur was Steve Cody's dream—the only one he had left after a rogue bronc ended his rodeo career forever. But if he wanted to keep his ranch, he was going to have to fight for it—against a powerful man who wanted his land, and a woman who was another kind of trouble altogether…. Savannah Benedict was as wild as the Arizona desert she loved, the kind of woman who could fire a man's blood—even when she was fighting him tooth and nail. And Steve swore that when this range war was over, The Broken Spur would be his and his alone—and so would Savannah….
The Biogeography of the Oceans
This is a special volume on ocean biogeography containing chapters bringing the wealth of knowledge of Russian scientists to a global audience. Ocean biogeography was the subject of much marine research carried out by the former USSR, where extensive facilities were provided on a world-wide scale. Volume 32 is devoted to the geographical and vertical distribution of life in the open oceans, including the great depths. The contributions range widely from plankton and squid to the bottom fauna of the bathyal, abyssal, and hadal zones. This volume will help bridge the gap between Russian and western marine biogeographers and will be of interest to a wide range of marine biologists. Advance in Marine Biology contains up-to-date reviews of all areas of marine science, including fisheries, science and macro/micro fauna. Each volume contains peer reviewed papers detailing the ecology of marine regions.
