Desert Knights

All Windy and Long Jim wanted to do was hand over a corpse to the local law. But the law in Goliath didn't seem too interested, and when it turned out the dead man was a friend of Windy's nephew, Quincy, they decided to take the matter into their own hands. Suddenly they found themselves in the middle of Mexican bandit, El Porcito's, plans for a revolution, and lead was flying in all directions. Barry Cord is the pseudonym used by Peter Baptisto Germano (May 17, 1913 - September 20, 1983).An American author who began his career with short stories and wrote articles documenting the Marines in World War II as a combat correspondent.He wrote novels, most of which were westerns, but also wrote science fiction. And, as television became ever-present in American culture, Germano wrote numerous television scripts for western, science-fiction, drama, and cartoon series. He contributed to The Fugitive, The Time Tunnel, Battle of the Planets, Bonanza, Hondo, Maverick, The Rifleman, The Virginian amongst others.He used various pseudonyms, including James Kane, Jim Kane, Jack Slade, Peter Germane, and Jackson Cole. Long Jim, though thin as a rail, has an appetite that he never seems to satisfy and his partner, Windy who is devoted to his mule. They're likable, straight-talking, show little patience for idiots and greenhorns, both gunswift, and possessed of a strong sense of justice and doing the right thing."If you haven't read a Barry Cord book yet, then maybe it's time you did." - Western Fiction Review
