Astride his magnificent palomino, Iron Eyes escorts Squirrel Sally's battle-scarred stagecoach through the streets of Lobo. The infamous bounty hunter is weary and the remote settlement seems a peaceful place to rest. But Iron Eyes is mistaken. As he steers his mount down Main Street, he notices a horse tethered alongside other dust-caked animals. His instinct flares as he realizes the distinctive black roan with the white-tipped tail belongs to Buffalo Jim McCoy-a fearsome outlaw worth $5000, dead or alive. That much-needed rest would just have to wait ... Under the name 'Rory Black' Michael D George is the author of the wildly-popular Iron Eyes westerns, coming from PP very, very soon! Writes Michael: "In my time I've done a lot of things. I've been a barber, a freelance commercial artist, a portrait painter, a grave stone designer (a dying trade), an animator and an author. I did spend a few years in the Merchant Navy and was lucky to have travelled around the world four times before I was 23. I spent a lot of time in America during those days and cruised for two summers between California and Alaska. Now it is forty years later and these days I spend most of my time writing novels under my own name and no less than seven pseudonyms. I've been lucky to number a few of my old cowboy heroes as friends, and my walls are covered in the photographs of several of my cowboy hero pals. Ive written a lot of books and have plenty more stories still to tell. As one of those friends, the late, legendary Monte Hale used to tell me, 'Shoot low -- they might be crawling!'"
