Summary

They were left to die in the desert.
 
But the hydrogen bomb was the least of their worries.
 
In the blistering heat of the Algerian Sahara, disgraced Foreign Legion Lieutenant Andre D’Aran is a prisoner of his past, serving out his time in a forgotten fort. His personal hell is about to become a fiery battleground when a mysterious party of “archaeologists” arrives, offering a handshake before revealing the pistols in their hands.
 
These are no scientists. They are cold-blooded agents sent to hijack the fort as an observation post for a top-secret hydrogen bomb test. Their secondary mission is even more monstrous. To chain D’Aran and his men to the walls as human guinea pigs, studying their agonizing deaths to steal the West’s most powerful secrets. Outgunned and trapped, D’Aran must orchestrate a desperate rebellion, because failure means not only a gruesome death for his men, but the annihilation of hundreds of innocent civilians in the blast zone.
 
A high-stakes military thriller that blends classic action-adventure with nerve-shredding suspense. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Jack Higgins, this is a desperate battle for survival where every second counts and betrayal lurks around every sand dune.

    Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an origin story in the true American tradition. Before Bass Reeves could stake his claim as the most successful nineteenth-century American lawman, arresting more outlaws than any other deputy during his thirty-two-year career as a deputy US marshal in some of the most dangerous regions of the Wild West, he was a slave. 
 
 
 
After a childhood picking cotton, Reeves became an expert marksman under his master's tutelage, winning shooting contests throughout the region. His skill had serious implications, however, as the Civil War broke out. Reeves was given to his master's mercurial, sadistic, Moby-Dick-quoting son in the hopes that Reeves would keep him safe in battle. The ensuing humiliation, love, heroics, war, mind games, and fear solidified Reeves's determination to gain his freedom and drew him one step further on his fated path to an illustrious career. 
 
 
 
Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves is an important historical work that places Reeves in the pantheon of American heroes and a thrilling historical novel that narrates a great man's exploits amid the near-mythic world of the nineteenth-century frontier.

    The Field of Amber Gold is a powerful tale of resilience, sacrifice, and quiet heroism on the harsh plains of the American Midwest. Written by William Bigelow Neal and brought vividly to life by narrator Tony J. Martin, this timeless short novel follows John Grahame, a determined farmer battling not only drought, blizzards, and hailstorms—but the looming collapse of his livelihood. 
Through hardship and hope, John and his steadfast wife Jane fight to preserve their home and dreams. When all seems lost, a mysterious figure known only as Ironheart reemerges with unexpected grace. In lyrical yet grounded prose, Neal explores the enduring strength of love, the nobility of labor, and the golden miracle that can sprout from the darkest soil. 
An ode to the American spirit forged in storm and sun, this is prairie storytelling at its most heartfelt.

    For years, Caleb Marlowe has been following a hard trail. But fate finally seems to be smiling on him. The ranch he and his partner have been building is ready for a herd of longhorns, and a ghost from his troubled past is about to dance at the end of a hangman's rope. With winter descending on the Colorado boomtown of Elkhorn, Caleb's future looks bright. But in the wild West, a man's fortune can turn with the speed of a mountain storm. When his partner is jailed for murder, his herd taken by rustlers, and his ranch nearly destroyed, Marlowe knows someone is trying to run him off. His nemesis, Elijah Starr, has been pardoned and hired by Judge Patterson—the local power broker—to build a railroad, and they are two men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Marlowe stands alone against a gang of hired killers. The stakes could not be higher, and the cards are stacked against him. A final shootout is coming, but in Elkhorn no one—especially Caleb Marlowe—goes down without a fight.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
In this volume the Jazz Age blossoms with an exuberance of spirit and panache.  Life is for now, the future seems so very far away.  Our American authors bring the decade to life with stories that perhaps could only come to pass in this decade of the United States.
