)
16 editions published between 1969 and 2006 in English and German and held by 695 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Someone was out to get Pace Larrabee. First he was crippled in an ambush, then one of his men was killed. But it didn't stop there. Someone rustled a herd of his horses, stampeded his cattle and threatened to poison his waterholes. This is the tense, exciting story of a man besieged by an invisible enemy; a man who had carved a thriving ranch out of wild, unclaimed land and stood to lose everything if he didn't uncover that enemy. But who could it be?

Next to barbed wire, there was nothing a cattleman hated more than sheep. It wasn't surprising then, that the ranchers in Hard Rock County would react in anger to Chance Abelard's decision to turn over a portion of his ranch to sheep herding. Under the leadership of Pearce Jerome, owner of the largest ranch in the area, the Cowmen's Protective Association was formed. With the single exception of Chance Abelard, every rancher joined it. Tempers flared, and besides the threat of force, the Association meant to black-list Abelard's Two C Ranch. It was a tough deal, but Chance Abelard knew he was right and meant to prove it--even if someone got hurt in the bloody fight that loomed ahead

Hob Loman was a boy orphaned by murder - or so he believed. For a kangaroo court of three men had hanged his father on the trail, while the small wagon train was struggling on its way up to the Cascade Mountains. It had happened very quickly, without ceremony at all, and then the train had moved on. It doesn't take much time to kill a man. And then, ten years later in Dalles City, Hob Loman found the three men. And he was not a boy any longer

Kelly Drake was a drifter who came out of Texas following the trail herds. He was tired of being a drifter so when he got to the town of Lone Point he thought this might be a place he could settle down. Then he found big Rio there with his girl, and Chance Comber, another enemy from his past. But worse, Trench Durnbo-spoiling for a shoot-out that would make him top gun. Maybe Kelly should have just drifted as usual. Instead he rode right into trouble behind blazing side-guns-gambling for a woman, a ranch and a place in the sun
