Morgan Locke, university student, has been hiding his debilitating illness with fair enough success when two unlikely emissaries arrive bearing the news that he is prince to a nation of creatures out of folklore.

BY CLIFTON ADAMS, WITH INTRODUCTION BY D. JASON FLEMING:  Law of the Trigger (Annotated): The classic pulp western.

Once he had belonged to the stark and brutal days, days of manhunts and sudden violence. Now Owen Toller had a farm and a family, and not even the slightest interest in enforcing the law, especially since the citizens of Reunion had voted him out as Marshal five years ago.

Until the Brunner brothers came down from the hills — to murder and plunder, to write bloodier, more savage history than even the James and the Dalton gangs.

Suddenly, Reunion remembered that Marshals sometimes had to do more than sit in an office and cozy up to bankers.
