Book Description
An exciting international espionage thriller, a continuation of the Rendman family exploits as Zelta joins forces with her brother, Joseph, and the CIA. They race through Cuba, Russia, Brazil and the United States in a perilous attempt to root out a deeply entrenched Soviet spy ring operating at the highest levels in the US, while avoiding Cuban Military Police and KGB assassins. Major American universities, the Naval Academy, even a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are complicit in a twisted web of intrigue, espionage and stolen secrets. Beginning with pure vengeance for the slaughter of complete Russian and Cuban guerrilla communities and culminating in a one day CIA clean sweep of the multi-state spy cell, climaxing in a Florida orange grove estate—a last ditch all-out effort by the KGB to kill the Rendmans. “A terrific sequel that, if you can believe it, packs more thrills than Code Name Rustler. The action comes on with a vengeance and doesn’t let up. Like its predecessor, Rustler’s Vengeance puts the reader smack in the middle of what was the Western hemisphere’s hottest flash point.” -Jonathan Scott, author of Lenegrin and The Woman in the Wilderness-

“When they coined the phrase page-turner, they must have been thinking about CODE NAME RUSTLER. Sipple and Wolstenholme have written a novel so compellingly realistic, I wondered if it was a true story. This book is a ticket into a terrifying yet irresistible world of intrigue and love.” -Jonathan D. Scott, author of Lenegrin and The Woman in the Wilderness-
The Vengeance of Blue Pete

Pages : 222
Book Description
When Blue Pete intervened with the enraged ranchers to save Butch Dorman from the revenge he so richly deserved, Pete immediately became an object of suspicion himself. That suited Pete, because, although it meant hitting the lone trail in a hail of bullets, he saw a chance of the big reward offered for the capture of the rustlers whose depredations were making the ranchers desperate. But neither he, the ranchers, the rustlers nor the Mounties quite anticipated the climax of his daring escapade. This new Western yarn, in which Blue Pete, the most popular of all cowboy characters, scores all along the line, is the most thrilling of any that the author has yet written.

The Rustler
Author: Frances McElrath
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803290268
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Published in the spring of 1902, the same year as The Virginian, Frances McElrath's novel The Rustler enjoyed only brief success before fading from public memory. While The Virginian has indisputably served as the model for the genre of the Western, The Rustler remains virtually unknown. Although both novels were inspired by the Johnson County massacre, The Rustler is an account sympathetic to the perspective of the small cattleman, while The Virginian takes the part of the large cattle operations. Both novels also address, with differing conclusions, the clash between the independent Western man and the genteel Eastern woman. In this story of the stoic, competent, and fiercely independent cowboy Jim and his ill-fated love for the beautiful Hazel Clifford, McElrath offers an alternative view of the West and the standard marriage plot. In contrast to The Virginian, The Rustler points to the vulnerability of the cowboy ethos and a different sort of redemption for the frivolous Eastern woman. The Rustler is also a significant example of the connection between popular and literary traditions whereby sentimentalism, the Western, and a feminist perspective converge in surprising and fascinating ways.

Son of Vengeance
Author: Bradley Folsom
Publisher: University of Oklahoma Press
ISBN: 080619166X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Since the early 1800s, the violent exploits of “El Indio” Rafael through the settlements of northern New Spain have become the stuff of myth and legend. For some, the fabled Apache was a hero, an indigenous Robin Hood who fought oppressive Spaniards to help the dispossessed and downtrodden. For others, he was little more than a merciless killer. In Son of Vengeance, Bradley Folsom sets out to find the real Rafael—to extract the true story from the scant historical record and superabundance of speculation. What he uncovers is that many of the legends about Rafael were true: he was both daring and one of the most prolific serial killers in North American history. Rafael was born into an Apache family, but from a young age he was raised by Spanish chaplain Rafael Nevares, who took his indigenous prodigy out on patrol with local soldiers and taught him to speak Spanish and practice Catholicism. Rafael’s forced assimilation heightened the tension between his ancestry and the Hispanic environment and spurred him to violence. Sifting Spanish military and government documents, church records, contemporary newspapers, and eyewitness accounts, Folsom reveals a three-dimensional historical figure whose brutality was matched and abetted by great ingenuity—and by a deep, long-standing hostility between the Spanish and the Apaches of New Spain. The early years of tutelage under Nevares also, perversely, contributed to Rafael’s brutal success. Rather than leading to a life of Christian piety and Spanish loyalty, the knowledge Rafael gained from his mentor served instead to help him evade his pursuers and the law, at least for a time. In Son of Vengeance, we see the real El Indio Rafael for the first time—the man behind the cultural myth, and the historical forces and circumstances that framed and propelled his feats of violence.
