Six-Gun Caballero (Western Short Stories Collection)

He€s handsome. He€s charming. He€s a total gentleman . . . and he€s totally outgunned and outnumbered. He€s Michael Patrick Oba±on€"a role that has Antonio Banderas written all over it.

Oba±on€s lost his inheritance€"a 100,000-acre New Mexico spread€"and he could lose his life if he€s not careful. A ruthless band of renegades have seized his land, and he€s determined to get it back.. Oba±on€s got one secret weapon: his fierce intelligence. He can€t outshoot the outlaws, so he€ll have to find a way to outwit them. . . .

Part Irish, part Mexican, Michael Patrick Oba±on is as American as they come€"crafty, confident, and cool under fire. It may be one man against the world, but before he€s done the world will know how the West will be won.

In the 1930s a radio program, Writers and Readers, hosted by Bob de Haven, delivered news of the hottest authors of the day€"interviewing the writers behind the stories. Here€s how he promoted an upcoming broadcast with L. Ron Hubbard: €œHe has placed in print a million and a half words. He is a quantity producer, well paid and in constant demand. He has outlined some valuable information on his lead novelette . . . Six-Gun Caballero.€ It is an introduction to Hubbard that is as pertinent now as it was then.
€œHubbard uses the traditional Western form to tell a challenging and unpredictable story, where the hero outwits his attackers instead of merely having to outshoot them. . . . so intelligent and suspenseful.€  €"SomebodyDies.com
