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 one minute 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 ...

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.
