About this series
It's rodeo time on Terul – bronc riding, yertl tripping, dragon team roping, korth barrel racing, and dragon riding. (And if you thought bullriding was dangerous, just take a look at dragon riding at Kerluk.) These are the events at the very first rodeo on planet Terul since the revival of the Intergalactic Rodeo Association.
And Buck Johnson, Skeeter Evans, and Snort Jones are entered – using, of course, Buck's money to pay their entry fees.
Buck's nearly broke again after paying his and Snort's and Skeeters' entry fees. So, in order to get off Terul and find an easier life, they'll have to cowboy up and win some money. Still, if they hit a good lick, they can finally get off this sorry planet. But as every rodeo cowboy knows, a lot can go wrong before the final buzzer sounds and the last flag drops. It ain't over till the secretary signs the checks.

- Buck Johnson: Dragon Wrangler
1
Buck Johnson, along with his slow-moving and slow-thinking sidekick Skeeter Evans, currently plies his trade as a dragon wrangler on Terul and is busting out a bunch of dracs for the repulsive Terullian Karposh. But when an unruly Red Kraken throws Buck, events take an unexpected turn. And Buck and Skeeter, with a little help from Snort Jones, right some wrongs and give Karposh his come-uppance, while still meeting their contractual obligations. A wild mix of Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Western, and Science Fiction, “Buck Johnson: Dragon Wrangler” is a new twist on the Space Western and a rollicking ride across the vagaries of a dragon wrangler’s and his sidekicks’ lives on the planet Terul. Think of The Good Old Boys, The Rounders, and a little bit of Lonesome Dove all rolled up together and cast into space. “Buck Johnson: Dragon Wrangler” is short story (approximately 4,000 words).
- Buck Johnson: Trailing the Herd
3
Buck, Snort, and Skeeter are still trailing a herd of dragons to Skrintax in hopes of selling them for enough to get off Terul and maybe get better pay, easier work, and something to drink. But the obstacles keep mounting – including a tcheka-smoking interlude, hungry dragons, insolent Terullians, and . . . well, you’ll see. Think of "Star Trek," "The Rounders," and a little "Lonesome Dove" all shaken together and poured out, and you’ll have some idea of what you’re about to taste when you step into Buck Johnson’s life. It’s a wild mix of Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Western, and Science Fiction. Buck Johnson: Trailing the Herd” is the third Buck Johnson short story (approximately 3,800 words).
- Buck Johnson: Drive's End
4
A dragon drive is a grueling and chancy undertaking – far tougher than trailing longhorns to Kansas City. So when Buck, Snort, and Skeeter approach the drive’s end at Skrintax, they’re looking for a big paycheck and a little fun. But the Terullian Karposh reappears and throws some obstacles in their path. Still, after some ingenious planning on bootleg vendor Quincy Poindexter’s part, it all works out in the end . . . Think of "Star Trek," "The Rounders," and a little "Lonesome Dove" all shaken together and poured out, and you’ll have some idea of what you’re about to taste when you step into Buck Johnson’s life. It’s a wild mix of Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Western, and Science Fiction. “Buck Johnson: Drive’s End” is the fourth Buck Johnson short story (approximately 5,000 words). Be sure and check out the first story titled “Buck Johnson, Dragon Wrangler.”
- Buck Johnson: Dragon Roundup
5
A successful dragon drive two months ago should have filled Buck Johnson’s and Skeeter Evans’ pockets. And it did – for a few weeks. Now they’re back to wrangling dragons to recoup their losses, attempting to round up unclaimed dragons in the mountainous Leptok Territory. But inadvertence, rogue dragons, and just sheer bad luck make this little venture more challenging than either of them expected. That’s why Buck grudgingly accepts help from Snort Jones, as well as from the Terullians Karlok and Xerlax, and welcomes an unsought and utterly unexpected development – something he thought was forever behind him. Think of “Star Trek,” “The Rounders,” and a little “Lonesome Dove” all shaken together and poured out, and you’ll have some idea of what you’re about to taste when you step into Buck Johnson’s life. It’s a wild mix of Fantasy, Action/Adventure, Western, and Science Fiction. “Buck Johnson: Dragon Roundup” is a short story (approximately 6,800 words).
