FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Forged in the hot sun and sand of the Arizona desert, Chinook Shannon is as tough as they come-as steely-eyed and tall in the saddle as Randolph Scott. But Chinook is far from home-in the north country of Montana-and facing a challenge as big as the territory itself. Following his grandfathers suspicious death, hes come to Montana to claim his inheritance-the familys cattle ranch. But the territorys crawling with bandits and bankers, and they all want a piece of Chinooks land. With foreclosure hanging over the ranch, Chinooks got exactly twenty-four hours to find out who killed his grandfather and become the Cattle King. Hell follow a trail of forgery, cattle rustling and murder to find the truth, knowing he has only one ally-his Colt Peacemaker. L. Ron Hubbards detailed knowledge of ranch life and mining techniques-as well as the economics and legal issues surrounding mining and water rights-informs Cattle King for a Day. He wrote: "I became thoroughly acclimated to Montana ranch life and the very rough and tough atmosphere.... It was also a mining area, and I used to pan in these streams for pocket money." Its no wonder, then, that these stories are pure gold. Also includes the Western adventure "Come and Get It," the story of an Easterner who comes to Wyoming to find out who killed his father-but discovers that the only way to get justice is to cook up a new identity for himself. * An International Book Awards Finalist. Author Biography With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and 40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century. Review ." . . unabashedly entertaining books." --Kevin J. Anderson"Author L. Ron Hubbard was a master of the action Western, filling his stories of adventure with plenty of gunplay and vengeance. "Cattle King for a Day" (originally published in All Western Magazines March 1937 issue) is enhanced by authenticity springing from Hubbards time living in Montana, complete with details on local mining, banking, etc" --Somebody Dies"When Chinook Shannon goes out West to claim his inheritance, he finds it usurped by a local bully and a banker. With few options afforded him, he must fight back in classic Western style, which includes lots of punches, gunfire, and slick banter." --Publishers Weekly Review Quote "When Chinook Shannon goes out West to claim his inheritance, he finds it usurped by a local bully and a banker.
