Nelson Nye Books Overview

Gunsmoke

A Spur Award winning Author For fourteen years the town of Pecos had slumbered, but now it could have no sleep. For suddenly, without rhyme or reason, gunfire flamed and crackled in the night and the coals of fear and hatred warmed the day. Young Sheriff Lawler had seen violence coming when the strangers began to arrive. But then, one by one, they turned up dead. And each one carried a cryptic note signed ‘Justice.’ Available only in Western 8 & 14.

The No-Gun Fighter

Because Smiling Smith was a peace loving man, he kept his guns hanging on the wall of his new badlands ranch. He’d bought that isolated layout for that very reason without cattle or improvements nobody should have designs on the place. Only it didn’t work that way. His neighbors, a chip on the shoulder syndicate, wanted him off that range fast. They offered him the means of leaving, either by horse or by coffin.

Available only in Western 14.

A Lost Mine Named Salvation

When the heiress of the fabled Peralta Claim showed Oberbit Johnson, a gold prospector, a hunk of blue quartz from the lost salvation mine, he was really hooked. It would mean tangling with his old nemesis Weiminuche Bill and the girl’s lawyer, too.

Gunfight at the O.K. Corral

Wyatt Earp, the most famed and notorious of the lawmen, joined forces and stood gun by gun with Doc Holliday, the most feared gambler and badman in the west.

Breed of the Chaparral

A Spur Award winning Author Dakota was a peaceable sort of man who’d ride ten miles out of his way to avoid trouble. But even he had his breaking point. They had run him off his land once, and when they tried to do it again, something snapped inside his head. He swore he’d find the bast*ards responsible for his troubles and kill each of them slowly inflicting unbearable pain on them before he let them die.

Rogue’s Rendezvous

Jeff Kitchim had never set out to become a hired gun. Fate had sort of pushed him into it. Impatient to get ahead, he’d looked for quick money. Well, there was plenty of that available, and it didn’t require any brains. All a man needed to earn fighting wages was a fast trigger and a scarcity of scruples.

Come A-Smokin’

Escaping from Yuma, Grete Marratt stumbled into Bella Loma where he was mistakenly identified as the scorned and long departed Luke Usher, the man who had disappeared years before after his father was murdered.

Quick-Trigger Country

Curly Bill Graham’s outlaw gang brought Turk the excitement he had always craved but he drew the line at the senseless slaughter of a band of unarmed Mexicans.

Cartridge Case Law

A powerful cattle baron tries to scare silver miners off his land in Cartridge Case Law, and in The Overlanders, Grete Farraday will stop at nothing to pay back the men who ran him off his ranch.

No Place to Hide

A Spur Award winning Author Wishbone Reilly learns that there’s no law but a man’s own, west of Tombstone. When he comes to claim his inheritance a ranch as big as any in Texas, with fat cattle and fine horses he finds he has unexpected, gun toting company. Hannigan, a squatter killer, has already taken possession of Wishbone’s ranch, while hired gunslinger Hannah has ideas of his own as well. Available only in Western 14.

The Lost Padre

After encountering a beautiful woman holding one torn half of a map to The Lost Padre Mine, Teluride Johnson embarks on a dangerous journey. By the author of Gunfighter Breed.

Mule Man

A crew of ten was going into Arizona’s Chaco Canyon country, led by an anthropologist named Jeff Larrimore who wanted to dig for relics of the Anasazi who had lived there thousands of years before. Larrimore hired help to guide the crew and protect them from trouble, but members of their party started getting themselves killed mysteriously, one by one. And that was even before the digging began and before the ‘chindis’ or spirits of the ancient ones were disturbed.

The White Chip

The Lost Dutchman was the most fabled gold mine of the Old West. Since Jacob Walzer struck gold in the Superstition Mountains of southwestern Arizona, hundreds of hopefuls had risked everything to comb the deadly mountains for it and many never came back. Finally an unlikely caravan made up of a banker, a seasoned miner, two merchants, a butcher, and a smuggler found the exhausted mine and a cleverly sealed off entrance to its rich lode. The dizzying wealth was theirs for the taking. If they could retrieve it from the middle of an active volcano.
