Slocum’s on the trail of some man-eating wolves… After collecting the reward for capturing Oklahoma Bill and his gang, Slocum’s ready to hightail out of Rocas Rojas, New Mexico. But before he can pack his saddlebags, Jack Halsey comes tearing into town—minus some fingers—the result of a run-in with a pack of wolves. Jack wants Slocum’s help tracking the wolves because they ate something more valuable than his fingers. But Jack’s tales keep changing, and Slocum doesn’t know what to believe. And when Apache warriors and some of Oklahoma Bill’s former associates join the chase, Slocum must uncover whatever it is Jack is really hiding—and whatever Jack believes is in the belly of the beasts…
Agreeing to help Jack Halsey track down the wolves responsible for eating something more valuable than his fingers, Slocum soon discovers that Jack is not telling truth when they are followed by Apache warriors and several deadly outlaws. Original.
Slocum’s on the run from the law…and gunning for revenge! Slocum knows it’s a terrible plan, but Conchita was more than persuasive. Against his better judgment, he agrees to get himself sent to San Quentin under false pretenses, find her brother José, and help him escape. It’s more trouble than any man should volunteer for…and it’s only the beginning. After the breakout, Conchita and José seem closer than brother and sister ought to be—and they leave Slocum framed for yet another crime he did not commit. With both the law and a posse from San Quentin on his back, he goes after the underhanded pair—and there’s no escape from Slocum!
Slocum plans on putting someone to pasture... Secrets run deep in Apache Wells, Arizona, where someone is preying on the premium ponies—picking up horses and leaving them out to dry…in pieces. When John Slocum gets lassoed in to put a stop to it, something rotten starts to stink worse than the carrion… With a mistress in need and fine meals to be had, the Bar C Ranch seems like a good place for a rest from his work. But as strange gold pieces sprout up among the desert carnage, Slocum reckons right quick that the culprits behind these terrible killings may be closer than expected. Slocum and his trusty gelding aren’t the kind to get spooked, and soon it won’t be just the ponies that need saving…
Slocum's about to learn a lesson in love—and larceny! Between the mysterious bank robber lurking outside town and the crazed miner armed to the teeth inside it, Slocum would prefer to leave Dry Water in the dust—that is, until the new schoolmarm arrives. She's young, pretty, and knows more about the robbery than she's letting on. Uncovering a scandal that leads from the miner right up to the mayor and judge, it's up to Slocum to see the bad men of Dry Water drown in bullets.
Slocum's reputation is about to get soiled… John Slocum never minded visiting houses of ill fame--until he loses a pat hand in a poker game and finds himself paying by playing bouncer at the local brothel. A big rodeo's coming to town, and the place needs a hard man to take care of trouble. And when a lady under his protection ends up dead, Slocum aims to guard his flock of soiled doves with one clean shot…
When events spin out of control…only Slocum can ride out the storm. Driving the stagecoach to Fort Stockton without a shotgun messenger is keeping John Slocum on his toes. He’s carrying a huge payroll for the Army, and he’s dead sure road agents are after it. But before Slocum can tackle the sharpshooter that’s after the gold, he’s caught up in the tornado that destroys half the town. It seems Slocum’s got a knack for surviving—except now he’s got to help find the missing payroll, or wind up in jail. And there’s a mysterious lady with flame-red hair and a strange request that could be deadlier than the storm…
Slocum heads into a gold mine—and it’s going to be a blast… In the past few days, Slocum has been framed—then jailed—for murdering a bar owner. He’s been freed—then seduced—by a mystery woman. Broke and on the run, he’s hired at the Shady Lady Mine, where men who enter have a way of not making it out alive… Now Slocum’s trapped: if he tries to escape, he’ll be shot. If he stays, he could be killed by the foreman’s itchy dynamite finger. That is, until a cocky kid arrives—with a new dynamite potion, a naughty sister, and a slight chance for Slocum’s escape…
The product of years of research, A Man for All Oceans is the most comprehensive biography of Slocum ever published, and the first written by a small-boat sailor. Author/historian Grayson uncovered previously unknown original source materials to shed new light on one of history’s greatest sailors while answering questions that have been asked ever since the publication of Sailing Alone. In June 1898, three years and two months after departing Boston in his aged oyster sloop Spray, Captain Joshua Slocum made land fall in New England and became the first person ever to sail alone around the world. The voyage capped a lifetime of adventure for the indomitable Slocum, who had advanced from seaman to captain during the challenging final years of commercial sail, surviving hurricanes, mutinies, shipwreck, and the death at sea of his beloved first wife, Virginia. Sailing Alone Around the World, Slocum’s book about his circumnavigation, is a seafaring classic, unmatched for adventure and literary verve, and has never been out of print since its publication in 1900. Yet despite several biographies over the decades, Slocum the man has remained unknowable to his legions of admirers, the facts of his life and career as elusive as a ship on a fogbound sea. Here is the real story of Slocum’s Nova Scotia childhood, his seafaring career, and how he became an American citizen. Grayson gives ample evidence of Slocum’s uncanny genius as a navigator while also noting the occasional role that good luck played in his voyages, including his odyssey from Brazil to the United States in the self-designed and built 35-foot Liberdade. And Grayson brings a sailor’s perspective to Slocum’s solo circumnavigation and mysterious disappearance at sea. A fascinating appendix compares Sailing Alone Around the World with Thoreau’s Walden and shows that Slocum’s simple lifestyle and self-sufficiency prefigured today’s emphases on the environment and living responsibly. Previously unpublished photographs bring Slocum’s world to life, and detailed maps trace the adventures of a sailor who knew the world like the back of his hand. This biography reads like an adventure narrative and will serve as the standard work on Joshua Slocum for years to come.
Slocum's in a fistful of trouble with a deadly desperado. Owen Surret earned his living doing dirty jobs for dangerous men. Then he went into business for himself, looting his employers of their ill-gotten gain, before murdering a rancher and rustling cattle. Pursued by the outlaws he betrayed, Surret is pulling up stakes and needs some cowboys to drive his herd to safer ground. John Slocum has enough skills to join Surret’s gang—but only long enough to generate heat with a blacksmith’s daughter…and find a way to collect the bounty on the thieving killer’s head…
