THE KINDLE COLLECTION

The Kindle is an electronic device for downloading, storing and reading electronic books, known as e-books. It was developed by a company called Lab 126, which is a subsidiary of Amazon. The Kindle has instant wireless access to Amazon's sites in the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany, and a phenomenal (and growing) number of e-books, many of which are a fraction of the price of their hardcover and paperback equivalents. Below we're listing everything in our own ever-increasing library of e-book editions (alphabetically, by title), all currently available at BARGAIN LOW PRICES!!!

After returning from Afghanistan, former Green Beret Christopher Callan had developed violent blackouts during which he could remember nothing.

Jim Allison was delivering cattle to the Apaches up at San Carlos when a chance meeting with a man named Keyhoe drew him into a violent chain of events from which there could only be one winner.

The one-time cavalry officer has been hired to find Emmet Lawrence, a greenhorn who had gone to seek his fortune and then disappeared.

Then something happened that Cannon hadn't allowed for. Emmet Lawrence came looking for him ...
Four men went up into the mountains in search of a lost mine. Only one came back -- driven out of his mind with fear. Their employer, old Colonel Fogarty, was determined to discover exactly what had happened to them, but no one was willing to go and find out -- except Rachel, the colonel's daughter. Then Rachel was joined by the colonel's mean-tempered surveyor, Harvey Wheeler, and two local low-lives with larcenous plans of their own.

And what did he intend to do when the mountain's dark secrets were finally unlocked?

Someone else had already heard all about it though, because two attempts had already been made on the greenhorn's life. So, O'Brien decided to tag along for a while, just to see how things panned out.

There's something not quite right about Shelby's Oasis, the run-down tourist trap in the middle of the Arizona desert. For a start, the Shelby sisters, Agnes and Diana, seem to have more skeletons than closets in which to hide them. And with rumours of a fortune in gold buried somewhere on the property, who can really be trusted -- the sisters' scheming brother Scott? The seductive Kelly-Anne? Or Mitch, the manipulative loner who accidentally stumbles into their twisted lives? Only one thing's for sure: nothing at Shelby's Oasis is quite as it seems.

But then the police get lucky. Against all the odds, one of the victims survives. But strangely enough, that's when things go from bad to worse ...
They rode into Austin Springs stirrup to stirrup, six men with guns in their belts and blood in their eyes. The minute Town Marshal Sam Judge clapped eyes on them he pegged them as trouble. He was right, too, because by sunset Death had called and the blood on innocents had been spilled in the town's quiet and dusty streets. Almost before he knew it, Sam -- once a celebrated town-tamer whom Ned Buntline himself had called 'The Pistol Prince' -- found himself embarking on a vengeance hunt. A boy Sam hadn't seen for fifteen years was connected with the killers, so that made it personal. But first and foremost, Sam was a peace-keeper. Convinced that the law would hang 'em all, he wanted the outlaws to have their day in court. The only thing he never reckoned on was the fact that they might very well kill him before he could find and catch them.
Freelance fighting man Carter O'Brien had five thousand reasons to go after the notorious Timberlake brothers. Each was a dollar bill. But there was more to it that just the reward money. Isaac Parker, the 'Hanging Judge' himself, had asked O'Brien to track down the murderous outlaws. If he didn't get them before they got the judge, Parker would wind up handing from his own gallows. So O'Brien rode west into Indian Territory, a vast and lawless land that was home to more than one owlhoot gang, and before long he was swapping lead with a man who wanted him dead, and whiskey with a lady desperado called Belle Starr. Waiting for him at the end of the twisted Timberlake trail was a final bloody showdown that could only end in death ... and an unexpected surprise that could very well prove fatal.
A damsel in distress, Wyatt Earp called her. And he was right, too. Because as soon as soon as Luke Heller got involved with the beautiful Irene Lawrence, he found himself up to his neck in murder, intrigue and a mysterious deal so big that it could only end -- explosively -- seven hundred miles away, on the notorious Barbary Coast.
En route, Heller found himself battling thick-armed bullies and bloodthirsty Chinese hatchet-men determined to give him a double profile. But for Heller -- once a Confederate sharpshooter, big-city cop and Pinkerton detective -- it was all in a day's work. Besides, as his enemies always found out, he wasn't only a Heller by name -- he was also a heller by nature.
Luke Heller was looking forward to spending some time with his beautiful Oriental partner high in the Colorado Rockies. His job -- to handle security at a luxury mountain hotel -- should have been a nice, peaceful little assignment. After all, what could possibly happen in a resort full of wealthy Easterners? But Luke didn't know the half of it. Death was stalking the timbered slopes, and it came first in the shape of a grisly murder, then as a violent robbery.

But it wasn't going to be easy. Norris was being held in a prison nearly two hundred miles from home, and it was a veritable fortress that had been built right on the doorstep of a garrison full of Mexican soldiers. As if that wasn't bad enough, there were others who'd set their sights on the reward -- two get-rich-quick Americans named Pope and Trace, and a half-Cheyenne Dog Soldier called Sundown. As they all came together, the dry Mexican air was shattered by the roar of dynamite and the higher, deadly whine of bullets ...

The Texas Rangers sent Carter O'Brien south of the border with orders to kill a madman. It was said that his target -- a murderous bandit named Salazar -- had the face of an angel and the heart of a demon. Certainly, judging by all he'd heard, O’Brien sure figured he needed killing. Given the choice, though, he'd sooner have faced Salazar in a head-on gunfight than turn back-shooter and kill him from hiding. But the only trouble with that idea lay with Salazar's eight-strong gang of cut-throats, for it was common knowledge that if you took on one of them, you took on the lot -- and even a professional fighting man like O'Brien had to draw the line somewhere ...
Coyote was a renegade Apache who'd been spilling blood along the border for months. But now he'd had enough of killing and was ready to disappear up into the mountains -- provided the army agreed to deliver his wife safely to him inside two weeks. If anything happened to that squaw before she was reunited with her man, all hell would break loose; Coyote personally guaranteed it. So the army called in professional fighting man Carter O'Brien. His mission, to make sure she reached Canon Calavera in one piece. O'Brien was no stranger to trouble. He'd been forced to kill three men even before he received his orders. But this was a tough job, even by his standards. The way ahead was paved with problems -- from pitiless sandstorms and deadly ambushes to gold-hungry gunrunners and an Indian-hating sheriff.
O'Brien was a tough man -- maybe the toughest. The only question was ... was he tough enough?

Right across the West, lawmen were losing their fight against crime. Something had to be done fast. But what?
It was a retired judge named Wilde who came up with the answer -- to pit one outlaw against another. From that point on, his 'law-enforcers' became six of the meanest misfits ever to see the inside of a jail-cell; a murderous albino, a black gunfighter, an Apache half-breed, a one-time Pinkerton detective, a Missouri-born conman and a giant whose hands were deadlier than a Gatling gun. Together they formed a tough-as-knuckles bunch. Those not destined to hang faced life imprisonment. But by becoming the judge's 'Wilde Boys' they stood to regain freedom and respect -- providing they could survive their first mission, of course; to bring down a kill-crazy tyrant known only in whispers as the Black Wolf …
