Where every passenger needed protection. And where every hired gun who rides along better be fast on the draw-or be dead on arrival . . .RIDING SHOTGUNIf anyone knows the road to purgatory, its Red Ryan. As a stagecoach guard, hes faced holdups, ambushes, and all-out attacks from every kill-crazy outlaw, Indian, and prairie rat.

Word has it, the Apaches are on the warpath. Theyre being led by the vicious war chief Ilesh, which means Lord of the Earth. And this lord means business, as in slaughtering every Texan from here to El Paso. Red wants to postpone the stage. But an army majors beautiful but stubborn wife insists they leave-or shell go it alone. So Red has no choice . . .Thus begins a nightmare journey into 400 miles of harsh, unforgiving terrain, blood-drunk killers, and one scheming devil who plans to paint the town of El Paso red-starting with Reds blood . . .Live Free.
