Don't Count the Odds

"Don't count the odds." - the motto of the Lone Star Hellions. Their motto and their creed. When the odds were the greatest Larry and Stretch, those free-swinging, trouble-shooting Texans, were at their formidable best.They were ambushed and wounded by a proddy posse of volunteers led by the belligerent Sheriff Salter and, for some time thereafter, were separated. First Larry made his break, then Stretch broke out of the Ketchtown calaboose. But, after each of them had played a lone hand, the Texas drifters were reunited for the final showdown with the lawless - a company of bank robbers masquerading as clergymen. Leonard Frank Meares was an Australian writer of western fiction. He wrote over 700 Westerns for the Australian paperback publishers Cleveland and Horwitz using the pseudonym "Marshall McCoy", "Marshall Grover" "Ward Brennan" and "Glenn Murrell".
