Guns blaze and passions burn when a manhunt turns plum loco! All Slocum had to do was track down a mouth-breather named Randall, so’s he could sign some legal papers—and he’d wind up with a thousand bucks in his pocket. But when the trail leads him to a dead end in the boomtown of Woodchip, Slocum finds himself striking a deal with the devilishly tempting proprietor of impropriety at the Fancy Lady Saloon. If he stiff-arms the local sheriff who wants to shut down her sin factory, she’ll deliver Randall. But Woodchip is full of lead-happy hombres—and it will take all of Slocum’s six-gun skill to keep from getting shredded…

The true story of Canada's greatest sailor, the first to sail around the world single-handedly. When Joshua Slocum sailed into port in Massachusetts on June 27, 1898, he was the first man ever to have completed a voyage around the world without technology, money or companion. It took him three years to cover the 46,000 miles, and along the way he was chased by pirates, buffeted by storms, and narrowly escaped death by sharks. When a goat ate his charts, he managed to navigate through the Caribbean by memory and intuition. This is the true-life adventure story of an extraordinary man, who ran away to sea at sixteen and never looked back. Born on a farm in Nova Scotia, he apprenticed on voyages to China, Hong Kong and Indonesia; met and married his wife in Sydney, Australia, and raised his family aboard sailing vessels in ports around the world. He survived mutinies, lost cargoes, terrible storms, and treacheries at sea before resolving on his voyage around the world in a dilapidated oyster sloop he named The Spray. After settling down and writing his memoirs, he set sail on November 14, 1909, and was never seen again.

Indians are on the war path—and Longarm’s in the way. An Indian war party is ready to massacre a group of miners, blaming them for the murder of their clan sister. The miners say they only found the body—and they may be telling the truth. But the Indians have only given Longarm until the dark of the moon to catch the killer—just eight days—or they will wipe out the miners’ camp. Facing such a fearsome fate, the miners—and the murderer—may take flight. So far, only Longarm’s reputation is preventing a bloodbath. But he has very few clues—and about two hundred suspects. This is a job that’s going to take some deep digging…

Organic Chemistry: A Series of Monographs, Volume 26: Organic Reactive Intermediates focuses on the study of reactive intermediates. This book discusses the methods of formation and investigation, factors affecting the stability, and reactions of the intermediate. Other topics include the formation and reaction of free radicals; kinetic aspects of free-radical chain reactions; electronic states and structures of carbenes; and formation of transient carbenes and carbenoids in solution. The intermediacy of nitrenes in reactions; electronic structure and spectra; methods of investigating carbonium ions; and reactions of carbonium ions are also elaborated. This publication likewise covers the preparation of carbanions; factors affecting the stability of carbanions; reactions involving radical ions; and methods of investigating arynes. This volume serves as a textbook for the first graduate-level course, as well as a reference for industrial chemists interested in organic reaction mechanisms.
