Synopsis

Journal of the Gun Years and The Gun Fight -- two great novels from New York Times bestselling author, Richard Matheson.

Journal of the Gun Years
A callow youth in search of excitement, Clay Halser travels the raucous frontier towns where a steady nerve and ready trigger finger soon mark him as a gunfighter to be reckoned with. As both an outlaw and lawman, he carves out a legendary career. But fame proves to be the one enemy he can’t outdraw....

The Gun Fight
John Benton was one of the toughest men ever to wear a Texas Ranger badge. But eight years ago, he hung up his guns for good. Or so he hoped.

When young Robby Coles challenges John to a fight over an imagined slight, Benton tries to laugh off the affair. But rumors and gossip spread like wildfire through their dusty town and soon enough the entire community seems to be pushing both men towards a confrontation neither truly wants.
