Description
The hard life of a hero…

Billy Baxter longed to be like the heroes he read about in his dime-novels, and set out looking for an adventure to call his own.

It wasn’t long before he met the notorious Cisco Kid, became marshal of Prospect and fell in love with Val Neilson to boot!

But things were not looking so easy for Billy when he had to face down a cattle baron and work out who robbed the local bank.

Not to mention fending off the endless string of bounty hunters, intent on trying to collect the ever-increasing price on Cisco’s head.

He soon realised that there was a lot more to being marshal than he first thought. Is it a case of too much too soon for young Billy?

To make matters worse, Carl Mueller was lurking in the shadows, biding his time.

Mueller was holding onto a deep grudge of his own and was hell set on taking his revenge. But his plan involves using Val as bait and it’s not long before she finds herself in mortal danger.

Baxter must grow up fast. He needs to work out Mueller’s plan and act quickly to save Val and be with the woman he loves.

Will he get to her on time and become the hero he aspires to be?

Or will his story end in tears…?
