Gunslinger -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author(s): Tom McWilliams Genre: Western Language: en First Publication Date: 1986 License: Commercial (Out of Print) ABOUT THE STORY You, ex-ranger Kip Starr, receive a telegram from James Badland, your one and only true-blue. "What sort of trouble is it this time, old guy?" you mutter while opening the telegram. "That boy always seems to get himself hooked up with the wrong people." It's no surprise to find that he’s south of the border and behind bars. A second telegram informs you that James is to be hung in two days. You realize you'd better get moving or you may never see your friend again. Just as you're about to head south, you receive yet another telegram. This one leaves you pale and weak. It reads; WE’VE ESCAPED FROM JAIL. JUST A WARNING FOR YOU AND THAT BUDDY OF YOURS.
