El Diablo: Max Reeves Book 5: Classic Western and Frontier Adventure (Max Reeves, Classic Western and Frontier Adventure) by Robert Harvey (1,919 Review)    Price verified 3 minutes ago

Max Reeves was continuing his exploration of the frontier territories. The wild towns, meeting pilgrims who had travelled from the East to make better lives for themselves by carving out farms and homesteads from the wilderness. In some respects the gunfighter had mellowed over the years and found chatting with folk not such a burden, although he'd never much to say. All the hard fighting and chasing down outlaws had taken their toll. He had scars all over his body in testament to his physical toughness in a fight. His solitary figure and the wild Black stallion war horse he rode were the stuff of stories and legend in many parts of the West. Max paid them no attention and never stayed long anywhere. It would be a mistake to do so and a lesson he'd learned the hard way. There was always some gunslinger looking to make a reputation as the slayer of Max Reeves, bounty hunter and protector of the weak and innocent. Bushwhackers most of them. Better to keep moving. Now there was trouble at the Mexican Border - looting, killing, stealing and then crossing back to Mexico and out of the reach of the US Marshalls. The leader was a phantom, and they needed someone to find him. There was only one man for this job, but Randy Wade knew that talking wasn't going to convince Reeves to join the Marshalls. When Patty Maguire turned up Max knew for sure there was trouble brewing for him. Patty had made a name for herself in law enforcement with the Pinkerton Agency. She had come a long way from the young girl he first met in Silverton. And that is how Max finds himself in Mexico with Wolf. Things are not looking good! Just when he thinks he's got it figured, another double cross. But they don't know who they are dealing with. He is the judge and jury, and with his 2 peacemakers justice will be served.

Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs (Open Road Media Teen & Tween) (4,404 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

The first and greatest adventure of Tarzan and the inspiration for a new feature film starring Alexander Skarsgård, Margot Robbie, and Samuel L. Jackson. Born to English aristocrats marooned in the dense West African wilderness, John Clayton, only heir to the Greystoke estate, is orphaned soon after his first birthday. Adopted by the she-ape Kala, he is given the name Tarzan, or White-Skin, and grows up among the apes, swinging from tree to tree and fighting the great beasts of the jungle. He has no memory of civilization, but discovers, in the books his parents left behind, the key to his strange appearance, and to his past. When a party of white explorers arrives, Tarzan finds himself drawn to them -- in particular, to the American Jane Porter. For years he has been torn between two identities, human and ape, and after saving Jane's life he follows her to Paris and then to America, experiencing the unfamiliar world of his birthright before the call of the jungle brings them both back to Africa. Originally published in 1912 in the pulp magazine All-Story, Tarzan of the Apes introduced to the world one of literature's most iconic characters. The star of twenty-four books written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, as well as countless film, television, and comic book adaptations, Tarzan forever remains the Lord of the Jungle. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

The Pilgrim's Progress: The Unabridged and Complete Edition (John Bunyan Classics) by John Bunyan (558 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The Pilgrim's Progress from This World, to That Which Is to Come is a 1678 Christian allegory written by John Bunyan. It is regarded as one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English literature and a progenitor of the narrative aspect of Christian media. It has been translated into more than 200 languages and never been out of print. It appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727. The first North American edition was issued in 1681. It has also been cited as the first novel written in English. According to literary editor Robert McCrum, "there's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as C. S. Lewis, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, Charles Dickens, Louisa May Alcott, George Bernard Shaw, William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, John Steinbeck and Enid Blyton. The words on which the hymn "To be a Pilgrim" is based come from the novel. Bunyan began his work while in the Bedfordshire county prison for violations of the Conventicle Act of 1664, which prohibited the holding of religious services outside the auspices of the established Church of England. Early Bunyan scholars such as John Brown believed The Pilgrim's Progress was begun in Bunyan's second, shorter imprisonment for six months in 1675, but more recent scholars such as Roger Sharrock believe that it was begun during Bunyan's initial, more lengthy imprisonment from 1660 to 1672 right after he had written his spiritual autobiography Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners.
