About the author

Neil Hunter is a pseudonym of the prolific Lancashire-born writer Michael R. Linaker. As Neil Hunter, Mike wrote two classic western series, BODIE THE STALKER and JASON BRAND. Under the name Richard Wyler he produced four stand-alone westerns, INCIDENT AT BUTLER’S STATION, THE SAVAGE JOURNEY, BRIGHAM’S WAY and TRAVIS. Another western, HIGH KILL, was later published in the SUNDANCE series as BOUNTY KILLER. His western output can also be found under the names ‘Dan Stewart’, ‘John C. Danner’ and ‘Frederick H. Christian’, the latter name employed when he ghost-wrote an additional five titles in Frederick Nolan’s popular FRANK ANGEL series. Mike has written three ‘nasty’ horror novels under his own name, but since the late 1980s has become best-known as one of the most popular contributors to Gold Eagle’s MACK BOLAN series, chronicling the adventures of PHOENIX FORCE, THE EXECUTIONER and STONY MAN, as well as his own action-adventure series, CADE.

DON'T MESS WITH COLTER

Another great western full of action, revenge and destroying Colter's ranch. Horn a vengeful lover of Rachel, Colter's wife, who loved and marry Colter. There's hidden gold and silver left by a Father Corazon, a Spanish priest alone and lost in a desert cave somewhere in New Mexico. Ballard and McCall friends of Colter were on their way to visit him and his wife Rachel, only to find the ranch burned and Chat, an Apache friend who helped with horses on the ranch, you know selling, capturing the wild mustangs.
Lots of action, betrayals and back shooting. Ugly people with horrific altitudes...you know no empath for his fellow human beings. Sociopaths would be a better description. Fast reading each page and chapter you'll find action, action..Keep your canteens full, lots of riding through dry country....🌵🌵
