Black Storm was his name, but the cowboys called him Black Dynamite, because of his terrific speed and because he threw every cowboy in John McDonald's corral until young Joe Bain talked to him quietly and mounted him without the cruel spurs that rowelled his glossy sides. After that, Joe and his horse were inseparable and Black Storm became known far and wide. Then one night the black gelding was stolen. He was beaten and starved, but his proud spirit remained unbroken. At last he escaped, to a desperate freedom haunted by man and wolf. And while Joe Bain searched the Kansas hills, a defiant Black Storm dodged bullets and timber wolves to find the only man he would serve. A clean very presentable copy in a Brodart mylar jacket.
