Описание: Johnstone Country. The Good Die Young. The Bad Die Younger.

When Smoke Jensen is summoned to a small Texas town under siege by a scourge of kill-crazy bandits, volunteers line up to take out the Mountain Man. Being Smoke Jensen, he wouldn't have it any other way.

A gunshot wound has robbed Audubon, Texas, of its top lawman at the worst possible time. Clete Lanagan and his band of outlaws have hatched a scheme to plunder the town bank of a small fortune in railroad money. When the acting sheriff, Dalton Conyers--half-brother of Smoke's niece Rebecca--is unable to raise a posse to hunt down Lanagan's gang, he calls on Smoke for help.

But with so much cash at stake, Lanagan won't go down without a fight. With a bounty on his head, Smoke finds himself marked for death by a legendary gunslinger, a wrathful ranch hand bent on revenge for his brother's death, and an army of trigger-happy recruits with nothing to lose but their lives.

Die richtigen Projektmanagement-Fertigkeiten zu besitzen, ist daher essenziell auf praktisch jeder Ebener einer Organisation.Diese Herausforderungen resultieren in einem wachsenden Bedarf an umfassenden Methoden und der Zunahme der Popularitaet von Agile.

Описание: The portrait has historically been understood as an artistic representation of a human subject. Its purpose was to provide a visual or psychological likenesses or an expression of personal, familial or social identity; it was typically associated with the privileged individual subject of Western modernity. Recent scholarship in the humanities and social sciences however has responded to the complex nature of twenty-first century subjectivity and proffered fresh conceptual models and theories to analyse it. The contributors to Anti-Portraiture examine subjectivity via a range of media including sculpture, photography and installation, and make a convincing case for an expanded definition of portraiture. By offering a timely reappraisal of the terms through which this genre is approached, the chapter authors volunteer new paradigms in which to consider selfhood, embodiment and representation. In doing so they further this exciting academic debate and challenge the curatorial practices and acquisition policies of museums and galleries.

WESTERN JUSTICE. JOHNSTONE FURY.

In this explosive new series, William W. and J.A. Johnstone bring together two of their greatest legends. The Drifter and the Kid. A gunslinging father and prodigal son, united at last, they are the Morgans. And the only thing thicker than a Morgan's blood is a Morgan's bullet...

FAMILY FIRST. EVERYBODY ELSE DIES.

There's nothing particularly unusual for a legendary gunman to be summoned to the lawless, bullet-riddled territory of Arizona. But when Frank Morgan, aka the Last Gunfighter, rides into Tucson, he finds himself ambushed and kidnapped by ruthless Mexican bandit Ramirez's army of thugs. The only way out is for Frank's son, Conrad Browning, heir to the vast Browning fortune, to ransom his father free. But Conrad isn't giving up one cent. He's got a far deadlier currency in mind...

Conrad heads down to the border and infiltrates the compound. But to prove himself, he has to hold up a train with the rest of the gang. Ramirez catches on to Conrad's ruse, and the only way out is for Frank to come to the rescue. It's a wild turn of events for sure, but for the Morgans, when it comes to killing their enemies, it's all in the family.

Описание: REVENGE ENDS THE DAY WELL

As sleepy as Buffalo Peak's been, legendary marshal, Elwood Firestick McQueen, and his deputies Beartooth Skinner and Moosejaw Hendricks never expected a couple of drifters to wake it up--by kidnapping two lovely ladies in town.

Hardly the sharpest quills on a cactus, these dim drifters call it courtin'. Firestick doesn't see it that way. Now the woman snatchers are heading for West Texas with their reluctant brides-to-be--and unwittingly plunging trackers Firestick and Moosejaw headlong into a rescue. With only Beartooth keeping the peace back home, Buffalo Peak's wide open for an outlaw ambush.

Sure as dirt, a gang of owlhoots clean out the bank, grab a hostage, and flee, spurring Beartooth on a deadly chase. In one lousy day a lot of people have gotten on Firestick's bad side. And with rifle cocked, and vengeance burning, Elwood Firestick McQueen is going to prove just how unforgiving his bad side can be.

FAMILY FEUD

Adam Hagen, the king's oldest son, is vying to take control of his father's violent empire in Blackstone. Sidling up with the notorious criminal Lucien Clay, Adam is adding professional hired guns who perform his dirty deeds without question. But moving against his father means crossing paths with his former friend Buck--the man who once saved Adam's life.

A civil war is coming to Blackstone. And when the gunsmoke clears, Buck Trammel is determined to be the last man standing . . .

JOHNSTONE JUSTICE. RELEASE THE JACKALS.

In Texas's Big Bend country, every man has a price. For crime lord Harry Holland and his ruthless gang of cutthroats, that price is $20,000--a ransom demand for the kidnapped daughter of a retired Army colonel. So far, neither the Army nor the Rangers have been have been able to penetrate Holland's guarded fortress. In desperation, the colonel turns to the Jackals. As a longtime friend, retired cavalry sergeant Sean Keegan is determined to bring the man's daughter back alive--with or without the ransom money--with help from his partners, former Texas Ranger Matt McCulloch and bounty hunter Jed Breen.

When word gets out that the Jackals are on the case, all hell breaks loose. They're up against trigger-happy mercenaries, marauding Apaches, and one final, jaw-dropping surprise--a kidnapping victim who doesn't want to be rescued. This time, the Jackals have no one to save...but themselves.

Описание: Johnstone Country. Forecast: Deadly.


Will Tanner is no ordinary lawman. He's a force of nature. But when he's outnumbered by rustlers, outgunned by outlaws--and stalked by a killer fresh out of prison--he's in for the fight of his life...

THE VIOLENT STORM



There's a storm brewing in Oklahoma Territory, and this time, it's deadly serious. Local cattle ranches are being targeted by Texas rustlers--and the only man who can keep it from turning into a bloodbath is US Deputy Marshal Will Tanner. The newly married lawman hates to leave his beautiful bride Sophie, but duty calls--for better or worse. In Tanner's experience, it's usually worse.
An unexpected confrontation with outlaws is just the bloody beginning. Then an escaped convict catches wind of the fact that Tanner killed his brother. Now he's really in the crosshairs.

Tanner knows he's riding straight into a perfect storm of vengeance and slaughter, with only one way to end it--a hailstorm of hot lead.
