Longarm’s tracking a fugitive—and treading on thin ice! If there’s one thing U.S. Deputy Marshal Long can’t stand, it’s a yeller witness who heads for the hills just when the law needs him most. Harrison Dodge is one such lily-livered sleaze. Privy to Washington’s dirty secrets, Dodge realizes he knows too much—and quits the capitol with a one-way ticket. Destination: anywhere. Longarm tries to sniff out the little runt, and finds himself on a boat bound for Alaska. Unfortunately, tip-to-tip, Alaska measures only a mite smaller than the U.S. of A. His only means of transportation is a riverboat, the Yukon Queen, driven by a hot-tempered, fiery lady-captain. Now, not only does Longarm have to keep his eyes peeled for any sign of his fugitive, he must also help his captain ward off her enemies. And try to keep his burning desire for her from melting the Alaskan ice…

Longarm longs to send this posse a-packin’! Everybody in Denver remembers the ruthless massacre at a local bank ’round five years back, but not a living soul has seen hide nor hair of the posse since. The murderers scooted out of town with a good passel of loot—and their identities unknown. But when one of them, at death’s door, decides to come clean before the Lord and the law, deputy marshal Long uses his leads—and vows to avenge the murder of the innocents. With some dirt on his targets gathered from a lonely, young landlady—who’ll only give away one secret per night of low-down lovin’—Longarm thinks he can sniff out their track. But to do this, he’ll have to uncover a trail hidden under five years’ worth of dust…

The Sedimentary Basins of the United States and Canada, Second Edition, focuses on the large, regional, sedimentary accumulations in Canada and the United States. Each chapter provides a succinct summary of the tectonic setting and structural and paleogeographic evolution of the basin it covers, with details on structure and stratigraphy. The book features four new chapters that cover the sedimentary basins of Alaska and the Canadian Arctic. In addition to sedimentary geologists, this updated reference is relevant for basin analysis, regional geology, stratigraphy, and for those working in the hydrocarbon exploration industry. - Features updates to existing chapters, along with new chapters on sedimentary basins in Alaska and Arctic Canada - Includes nearly 300 detailed, full-color paleogeographic maps - Written for general geological audiences and individuals working in the resources sector, particularly those in the fossil fuel industry

This report assesses the oil & gas resource potential in the Cenozoic and Mesozoic strata of the three major sedimentary basins of the Pacific margin of Canada: the Tofino, Queen Charlotte, and Georgia basins. Ten conceptual petroleum plays are defined on the basis of various geological controls, with most plays identified from stratigraphic considerations. Once defined, the ten plays are each statistically analyzed to estimate their hydrocarbon resource potential. Total potential & field sizes quoted in the report are all median value estimates of in-place hydrocarbon volumes.
