Slocum goes up against the biggest, baddest cattle baron in the territory... John Chisum, a ruthless cattleman, is aiming to run off anyone in the way of his new project—blocking the local water supply and forcing everyone to buy their water from him. Slocum is about to remind the cattle king that blood is thicker than water—even if he has to spill some of Chisum's to prove it.

Slocum's always got a lovely lady on his arm. But when he gets involved with Wild Bill Hickok's favorite girl everyone in Abilene sees trouble brewing.

Slocum gets caught up in a big-time heist in a small-time town… John Slocum and his pard have finally steered two thousand head of cattle from Abilene, Texas, to their Kansas home. After six weeks on the trail, both men are itchin’ for some company of the female kind. Abigail Stanley fits the bill any which way you look at her—and, in addition to her comely figure and come-hither glances, she has a head for business. Slocum’s all too willing to learn some of the tricks of her trade—but getting involved with Miss Stanley means getting wrapped up in something much less pleasant than her lovin’ arms. She has it in her noggin that a big-time railway to her hometown of No Consequence, Nebraska, would translate into untold fortune for the so far unfortunate village. So, anxious to set things a-rolling, the townspeople willingly dish out their money for this joint venture with a Mr. Rafe Ferguson. Everything seems right as rain—until Slocum learns more than he should about the supposed benefactor of what is merely an imaginary Platte & Central Plains Railroad…

If Slocum doesn’t skidaddle, he’ll be horsemeat! If his Appaloosa hadn’t twisted its ankle on the way to Springfield, Missouri, Slocum might never have looked into buying a new horse there. He might also have missed meeting two of the prettiest cowhands ever to walk on God’s green earth. And now, he might not be running for his life… In Springfield, a man looking to buy a horse has two choices: he can go see the Tolliver brothers’ costly horses, or he can look at Linda Collins’s cheaper ones—and risk getting pumped full of lead by the Tollivers’ hired hands. So when Slocum, a stranger to the town and its rules, shows up on the wrong side of the fence, he’ll have to use his horse sense to protect the very grateful Collins sisters, not to mention stay alive himself…

Slocum’s gunning for revenge after an Austin ambush… Slocum rides into Austin looking for a good bottle of whiskey and an even better woman. He gets both—and a passel of problems to boot. It seems a trio of lowlife gunslingers are terrorizing the town, and the sheriff is powerless to stop them. Slocum’s never been one to look for trouble, but it comes a’knockin’ after he shoots one of the owlhoots, and takes up with the lady of another. Before he knows it, he’s on the business end of a cowardly beating. But no man sucker punches John Slocum—or tells him where to hang his hat. And if the citizens of Austin think those three are tough, they ain’t seen nothing yet…

Outlaws are arming the Apaches—and Slocum's the target! Apache uprisings are forcing local homesteaders to abandon their land. And a group of outlaws plans to sell them a lot more firepower. But Slocum's prepared to defuse the situation before the frontier explodes...
