Now Available: Outlaw Ranger: Ravagers of the Border - James Reasoner

I have a new book out today from Wolfpack Publishing, the latest Outlaw Ranger novel RAVAGERS OF THE BORDER. Outlaw gangs are robbing banks, rustling cattle, murdering anybody who gets in their way, and generally raising hell on both sides of the border. Roped into the case by a former fellow lawman, G.W. Braddock, the Outlaw Ranger, sets out to discover what's really going on and bring the owlhoots to justice, no matter whether it means risking the wrath of a beautiful senorita or being tossed into a deadly sinkhole or facing the guns of a horde of vicious killers.

Most of you reading this know of my fondness for the fictional Texas Rangers Jim Hatfield and Walt Slade, and the influence of A. Leslie Scott and the other authors who contributed to those great Western pulp series on my work ought to be pretty obvious. I had a great time writing this book and hope that many of you will enjoy it as well. You can read it for free if you have Kindle Unlimited, or get a copy of the e-book for 99 cents, or pick up a handsome trade paperback edition if you prefer print.

Coming Soon: Outlaw Ranger: Ravagers of the Border - James Reasoner

Coming next month. I had a great time writing this one. With interesting characters and lots of all-out action, I think it's my favorite of the Outlaw Ranger series so far. I love the cover from Wolfpack Publishing, too.

Now Available: Outlaw Ranger: Gun Devils of the Rio Grande - James Reasoner

My latest Outlaw Ranger novel, GUN DEVILS OF THE RIO GRANDE, is now available in both e-book and print editions. I had a great time writing it, and with any luck there'll be more Outlaw Ranger books in the future. The print edition includes as a bonus the Outlaw Ranger novella THE LAST WAR CHIEF, which wasn't long enough for a print edition of its own. That's a pretty good deal, if I do say so myself.

I've also done a little work on a new series of Western novellas, but when those will be available, I have no idea.

 

Available for Pre-Order: Gun Devils of the Rio Grande (Outlaw Ranger #5)

A band of killers swoops down on a Mexican village, slaughtering the men and carrying off the women as prisoners. In Texas, a train is held up, American soldiers are murdered, and a valuable shipment of rifles is stolen. G.W. Braddock knows there’s a connection between these two bloody incidents, but to discover the truth and keep the border country from erupting in chaos and violence, he’ll have to risk his life more than once in a maze of double-crosses and danger! 

New York Times best-selling author James Reasoner returns with another action-packed, fast-paced tale of the Outlaw Ranger. Stripped of his authority by corrupt politicians, G.W. Braddock still carries the badge of a Texas Ranger—with a bullet hole in the center to show that he’ll go wherever he has to and do whatever it takes to bring justice to the Lone Star State!

(I think this is a pretty darned good book, he said modestly. With another fine cover from Livia. You can pre-order the e-book edition now. There'll be a print edition available around the same time as the e-book, and it will include as a bonus novella OUTLAW RANGER #4: THE LAST WAR CHIEF, which was too short for a print edition of its own. So it'll be a real nice trade paperback for around ten bucks. I really appreciate all the support this series has gotten. It's been a lot of fun to write. There'll be more of them in the future.)

Now Available: Outlaw Ranger #4: The Last War Chief - James Reasoner

G.W. Braddock might not be an official Texas Ranger anymore, but that doesn't mean he's going to stop chasing down outlaw gangs! On the trail of a vicious band of killers and bank robbers led by the notorious Clete Fenner, Braddock finds himself with an unexpected ally: an ancient Indian who claims to be the last war chief of the Comanche. Their pursuit of the Fenner gang will lead them to a bloody showdown on the Texas plains, with the lives of innocents hanging in the balance! 

It's an Outlaw Ranger novella this time around, 17,000 words of gritty action for less than a buck. There's no print edition for the moment, but my plan is to write another Outlaw Ranger novella later in the year and combine it with this one for the print edition. I'm enjoying this series and plan to keep it going for a while, as long as I can find the time to write them.

Now Available: Outlaw Ranger #2 Hangman's Knot - James Reasoner

(Need something to read this afternoon when you're too stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner to get out of your chair and aren't interested in what's on TV? Or this weekend when you're staying as far away from the shopping malls as you possibly can? Well, try a good old-fashioned action Western!)

Hell came to Santa Angelina on a beautiful morning, as the Texas settlement was practically wiped out by vicious outlaws led by the bloodthirsty lunatic Henry Pollard. Now Pollard is in jail in Alpine, waiting on his trial and an all but certain date with the hangman. The only real question is whether an outraged lynch mob will string him up first.

Not everyone wants to see Pollard dance at the end of a rope, however. His gang of hired killers would like to set him free, and so would his older brother, a wealthy cattleman who has always protected Pollard from the consequences of his savagery.

Riding into the middle of this three-cornered war is the Outlaw Ranger, G.W. Braddock, who may not have a right anymore to wear the bullet-holed star-in-a-circle badge pinned to his shirt, but whose devotion to the law means he'll risk his life to see that justice is done!

HANGMAN'S KNOT is another fast-action Western novel from New York Times bestselling author James Reasoner. Brand-new and never before published, it continues the violent saga of the Outlaw Ranger.

Based on actual incidents, this action-packed novel is the stirring tale of a little-known era in Old West history.
