Tom Bristol's career as first mate of the Maryland bark Randolph abruptly ends during shore leave when he is press-ganged into serving aboard the British HMS Terror.

 Toil under the cruel whip of England is merciless: Crew members are treated as little more than chattel—barely fed, made to work past the brink of exhaustion and kept in line with a cat-o'-nine-tails. Fate finally smiles on young Bristol when the vessel is overtaken by pirates and he gladly turns coat and joins them.

Yet Tom's new pirate mates desert him quickly after he's found guilty of killing a mutinous pirate and unwittingly harboring a woman on board. Marooned on a deserted island, Tom has nothing but a small supply of water, a gun and just enough bullets to kill himself. But Tom dreams up a devious plan that will return him to the high seas and make his past adventures pale compared to what he has in store for his many enemies. . . .

"This is a gem in American pulp fiction" —AudioFile Magazine

"This story beats any Pirates of the Caribbean story you'll find."

Devil's manhunt is a western story about a young man named Tim Beckdolt who had been working Desperation Peak in Arizona for eight long, treacherous months before striking a rich seam of gold. Now, after three months of hard, grueling labor, he's stockpiled more than $175,000 of gold ore, and his dreams of wealth are about to be realized . . . that is until the loutish Swedish giant Sven and the foppish Virginian killer Bonnet, arrive to jump his claim. Forced by gunpoint to mine the remainder of the gold for this villainous pair, Tim manages to escape into the surrounding wilderness, only to be hunted like an animal through vicious terrain with no weapons to defend himself or food to sustain him.

"I have never had an interst in western stories but with the enjoyment I've had from the other stories released by Galaxy Audio, I thought I'd give them a try. My old friend that tried to get me interested in Louis L'Amour stories is probably saying, 'I told you westerns were fun.' Well, thanks to L. Ron Hubbard and Galaxy Audio, he's proven right." —Gil Wilson, Associated Content

"If proof were needed that L. Ron Hubbard could handle the Western with the flair of a Louis L'Amour or Zane Grey, this book is it." —True West Magazine 

"While there's no shortage of heroes and villains, the story remains blessedly free of stereotypes. Pure pulp adventure—in the best way!—from start to finish." —AudioFile Magazine

"I spent much of yesterday and today leafing through Kevin's 25th anniversary book, page by page, looking at the photos of the winners and their books, reading the essays, and came away awed by the magnitude of it all.  I shouldn't be surprised, I suppose, at the size of the accomplishment that is recorded here, but, somehow, taking it year by year as I have, I haven't felt the same all-at-once impact as I have the last two days.  These hundreds of writers, their many published books and stories, the whole subculture of contestants and the other one of judges—it's awesome indeed.  So many years, so many people, the innumerable transitions of eager amateurs into famous pros—quite amazing.  I'm proud to have been a part of it for so long." —Robert Silverberg 

Lance Gordon killed his father's murderer in a fair fight, but now he's got a price on his head and has been running from the law ever since.

Cornered by men of the US Cavalry in Santos, Lance gets rescued by a mystery man who convinces him to join forces and go after a notorious cattle rustler up the infamous Coyote River.

Even together the pair stands barely a chance of bringing the gang of thieves to account, much less dealing with the soldiers still hot on their trail.

ALSO INCLUDES THE WESTERN STORY "REIGN OF THE GILA MONSTER"
