  Good Samaritan gunslinger Perley Gates returns for a new action-packed adventure from legendary national bestselling Western authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone set in historic Texas. 
   
   
   
  Perley's elder brother, Rubin, who manages the Triple-G Ranch decides to try breeding some Hereford cattle with the ranch's longhorns. He asks Perley to deliver the contract for the Herefords, a simple task. But nothing ever remains simple when Perley is involved. And for the reluctant fast gun, it means a nightmare journey through hell itself . . .  
   
   
   
  The trouble starts when Perley and his sidekick, Possum, meet some damsels in distress—a lovely group of saloon girls with a broken wagon wheel. Being a good Samaritan, Perley feels honor-bound to help them. But when the travelers cross paths with an ornery gang of vicious outlaws, things turn deadly—and fast. It only gets worse from there, for Perley agrees to escort them to Nacogdoches—next to Angelina County, a section of which is infested with a special breed of vermin known as the Tarpley family. And this corrupt clan has a gunslinger—who'd love nothing more than to take down a living legend like Perley Gates . . .

  Honourable Rebel - The Memoirs...

  Honourable Rebel tells the remarkable story of The Honourable Elizabeth Montagu, a woman born into the upper echelons of British society who defied expectations to forge a life of fierce independence, artistic brilliance, and covert service. 
    
   Raised in a world of privilege, Elisabeth chose passion over propriety, becoming a celebrated pianist, a gifted librettist, and a powerful presence in British cultural life. She was fluent in four European languages, a skill that not only deepened her creative reach but would later prove vital during wartime intelligence work. 
    
   She moved easily among artistic giants — Toscanini, Horowitz, Edwin Fischer, Benjamin Britten, Peter Pears — not as a mere admirer, but as a creative collaborator and kindred spirit. In theatre and film, she worked both in front of the camera and behind the scenes, collaborating with cinematic legends like Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, Graham Greene, and Sir Alexander Korda, as both an actress and respected film dialogue director. 
    
   During the Second World War, Elizabeth turned her intellect and multilingual talents to espionage, serving in British intelligence. She lived many lives — artist, spy, aristocrat, and cultural connector — but was always herself: daring, original, and unapologetically independent. Her story, long hidden in the margins of history, comes vividly to life in this audiobook, wonderfully narrated by Dorothea Myer-Benett who also played Elizabeth in the Drama Documentary based on the book, reminding us that rebels don’t always ride into battle — sometimes they play the piano.
