Time Travel Fact: Guns are not the only, nor the most effective, means of erasing an enemy When Madison and Riley return from medieval England, there's good news and bad. The good? They succeeded in their mission to un-erase a fellow student. The bad? A stowaway from the time period turns up in Maddy's science class, seeking revenge. The medieval assassin tries to worm their way into Maddy's friend group and, with barbed comments and dirty tricks, force her out. Then they go further and kidnap Lauren, Maddy's best friend, jumping through time and space with her. Maddy and Riley learn that the pair have gone to the wild west of America where cowboys and buffalo roam the plains. So they chase them, through dusty towns and saloons, across landscapes of epic beauty and danger. There's a price on their heads and bounty hunters on their trail. Will Maddy find Lauren and escape the west? Or will she have to shoot it out with the assassin and watch the consequences cascade through the time continuum for 150 years? A high-stakes fast-paced time travel adventure in the Wild West.

If you're reading this, it may mean I'm in trouble. I am, Riley is...the whole world is in deep strife. With their friend missing and people throughout history falling through holes in the continuum, 17yo Madison and Riley must travel to the future to get to the bottom of who's at the top of the shadowy time travel organisation known as Recall. At the front of their mind is a question—how did Recall find out about time travel? Who told them? If they learn the answer, they'll need to undo that one moment, winding back the chain of events that led the world into an almighty mess. If they can't find that precise moment in time—the point of origin of all the trouble—and reverse it, the temporal walls separating one age from another might come down, leading to a terminal global event. Time travel's like that, you see. Here one day, utterly erased the next. The breathtaking series conclusion.

"The gripping debut thriller featuring attorney-turned-fishing-guide Jake Trent, whose idyllic life is upended by a series of grisly killings. Early summer in Jackson, Wyoming, finds former East Coast prosecutor Jake Trent wading through a swift current of local politics, introspection, and tragedy. After leaving law behind, Jake escaped big-city life to pursue his dream: setting up as a fishing guide and opening a small bed-and-breakfast in the West. Now three seemingly unrelated deaths have occurred in one day, unheard of in the scenic valley of Jackson Hole, disrupting Jake's contented new life. A skier perishes in a freak late-season avalanche. A French couple is discovered mutilated, presumably by a bear, on a remote trail in Grand Teton National Park. On the Snake River, Jake himself finds the body of an expensively attired tourist fisherman. Meanwhile, a series of small earthquakes, not to mention a bitter dispute between land developers and a cultlike group of environmentalists, has left the townspeople uneasy. Before long, the plausible explanations for each death dissolve. Could there be a sinister connection among them? When fresh evidence points to him as a suspect, Jake Trent is put on the defensive. Is someone out to frame him? Can Jake keep the demons from his past at bay while he tries to discover the truth behind the mysterious deaths? Defying the police, Jake teams up with beautiful park ranger Noelle Klimpton to get to the bottom of this series of disturbing events. The trail leads right to the region's crown-jewel attraction: Yellowstone. What they discover will put both their lives at risk. Death Canyon marks the debut of David Riley Bertsch, a major new talent in suspense fiction" --

Harvey "Kid Curry" Logan was an outlaw, gunfighter and infamous member of the Butch Cassidy gang. With more than fifteen killings attributed to him, and given his involvement in the Butch Cassidy gang, "Kid Curry" was as renowned a figure as you were likely to find west of the Mississippi. Short of stature yet enormous in reputation, after Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fled for South America, Logan became the most wanted outlaw in the United States. He was finally captured--only to escape from his Tennessee prison in 1903. Until now little has been readily known about the man nicknamed the "tiger of the wild bunch." With unique access to the research, author Gary Wilson deftly separates fact from fiction, providing readers with a complete and authoritative biography.
