Sinossi

In "The Boy Allies on the North Sea Patrol: Or, Striking the First Blow at the German Fleet," Clair W. Hayes masterfully weaves an exhilarating narrative that immerses readers in the fervent world of early 20th-century naval warfare. The novel's action-packed prose and vivid descriptions reflect the heightened tensions of World War I, focusing on the daring exploits of young protagonists who navigate perilous maritime adventures. Set against the backdrop of the North Sea, Hayes's work captures the spirit of camaraderie and valor, engaging with themes of patriotism and youthful rebellion, while also emphasizing the profound impact of war on society and individuals alike. Clair W. Hayes, an author known for his contributions to juvenile fiction, drew inspiration from his own experiences and the cultural zeitgeist of his time. Growing up during the World War I era, Hayes was deeply influenced by the heroism displayed by young men and boys who eagerly joined the call to defend their nations. His prior works, often addressing themes of adventure and gallantry, paved the way for this compelling story, where the overarching narrative not only entertains but also instills a sense of pride and resilience in the face of hardship. This novel is a perfect recommendation for readers seeking an engaging blend of adventure, historical context, and youthful exuberance. It not only entertains but also serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination displayed during a tumultuous period in history. Whether you are a young reader or simply young at heart, Hayes'Äôs work is sure to inspire the hero within.

    Mean Pete Brandvold brings back hardened lawman Marshal Bloody Joe Mannion for another kick you in the face tale full of hot lead and cold corpses! 
     
     
     
    Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion and his close friend, Wells Fargo detective Flint Henry, are on the trail of some of the most vicious killers Mannion has ever faced. Flint is killed so it's up to Bloody Joe to single-handedly retrieve the loot the gang stole from a train. He manages to take down the gang and secure the loot only to find himself facing yet another band of vicious killers who want to lay their own grubby hands on the cash. Bloody Joe, however, has other ideas . . . and this ain't his first rodeo. 
     
     
     
    He manages to hold onto the loot but while fleeing the gang, he's wounded and falls into a ravine. He's ushered to safety by a sister and brother pair of orphans. When the gang tracks Joe to the ranch of Sam and Ilsa McDowell, he finds himself on the run again, with both McDowells as well as the loot. The only thing harder than trying to hold onto the loot is getting Sam and Ilsa to safety—especially when a neighboring rancher sets his lusty sights on the girl. The crooked rancher and his own gang of toughnuts powder Mannion's and the children's trail with their own helping of hot lead.
