Free (Kindle) The Bandaged Riders by Gordon Landsborough [Town Takeover Western]
The Bandaged Riders by the late British author Gordon Landsborough (Wikipedia), a prolific and pioneering multi-genre pulp fiction writer and publisher, is his vintage standalone western historical action adventure novel set in the aftermath of the US Civil War, as one entrepreneurial outlaw decides to unscrupulously take advantage of the post-war situation by declaring himself empowered to take over a town and remake it with the help of like-minded fellows, whether the inhabitants like it or not, and the amnesiac wandering gunslinger veteran who is the town's only hope of salvation, who cannot remember which side of the war he fought on, but is dedicated to the cause of justice nonetheless, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press, who are e-printing it from its 1954 edition originally out from Hamilton & Co. as #130 in their Panther Books line using the Mike M'Cracken pseudonym.
Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program) Description Memory is a dangerous thing… In the shambles of the stricken, defeated South, lawless men saw an opportunity to seize power they did not deserve. These men had fought on no side in the Civil War, but had instead battened on the defenceless old people left at home. One such unscrupulous man, Reuben Slatt, along with his ragged scallawag followers, had a better idea. Why not adopt the flag of the victors and take over and run a town... for their own benefit? Why not bleed the town dry and shoot as traitors any Southerner who dared lift a hand against them? A great idea in theory. But trouble lay ahead… One man was not willingly to simply stand by and see defenceless people exploited and murdered. A man of resource and high courage. A man who was unafraid to use a gun for a just cause, with the charisma and motivation to encourage others to do the same. And yet this man knew nothing about himself. He could not even remember which side he had fought on in the Civil War, for he had lost his memory. Will this mysterious figure bring justice to the west?
