    About this series

    This is book #11 and the last in the popular Derby Man series. 

    Darby Buckingham becomes the unwilling owner of a herd of twelve dirty and disagreeable camels. Deciding to go into the freight business, Darby is faced with unfriendly Paiutes, scorching desert and steep, impassable trails. Add to that the horrors contrived by the murderous band of a competitor, an ugly giant known as Big Bert Jasper, and you have all the makings of an exciting story. The Derby Man will be hard pressed to come out ahead on this caper. Anything can happen in the final chapter of a series...

      Darby Buckingham was an unlikely candidate for frontier life. From his roundtoed shoes to his derby hat, he was a man of culture, a creature of comfort, who liked his gourmet restaurants and expensive cigars. The short, stocky New Yorker made a fortune writing dime novels about the old west. Now he was out west to do some research for his next novel, little suspecting that he would be joining sheriff Zeb Cather in a manhunt for the ruthless Raton Brothers, learning firsthand about frontier justice and frontier heroism.

      Darby Buckingham, the portly New York writer, had an appetite for local color to add punch to his newest dime novel. But when Hench Hightower rode into town with his half-dead herd of mustangs, Darby had no stomach for what he saw. It was time to end a vicious cattle baron's control of the Nevada range...time to end the murder of the mustangs. Darby looked like a dude, but he'd fight like a demon. Caught up in a stampeding adventure, Buckingham swore he'd live to tell the tale. Darby and three others, all hungry for justice, rode out to settle the score...

      Look sharp, hit hard - that's the Derby Man's style. He's a fast-moving mountain of muscle who throws himself into the thick of the West's greatest adventures - like the Pony Express, a grueling 2,000 mile race through hell. The pace and terrain are deadly enough but vengeful Paiute warriors and murdering saboteurs led by a sadistic giant threaten to turn the route into a trail of blood. Then one man with the guts to save the Pony Express stepped forward - the Derby Man. It's the Derby Man and the glory-riders in a race against Indians, treachery and death.

      The hat fit him, the tin star didn't. But when his pal, Sheriff Zeb Cather, was taken out of action, Darby Buckingham started playing lawman to the town of Running Springs, Wyoming. And the town sure needed him now, the gun-slick honchos of neighboring Snakegrass Junction were determined to blast Running Springs out of existence. Darby was a man of fierce loyalties and fiercer courage. But it would take a lot more than both to keep a terrified town alive when all hell busted loose in the Showdown at Snakegrass Junction.

      He is the most cruelly dangerous opponent the Derby Man has ever challenged, Wesley Bryant, now the crime lord of San Francisco.  Darby smashes through the sword-wielding Chinese Tong warriors who protect Bryant's vicious web of vice, but Bryant escapes to launch his most ruthless scheme - stealing the vast wealth of Alaska for his own empire of evil.  The Derby Man hurls himself into a desperate chase through deadly traps and across Alaska's brutal tundra until he stands alone in the icy savagery of a wilderness blizzard in his ultimate showdown with a deadly madman.

      The thundering engines of the Central Pacific are stalled in the quest to conquer the mighty Sierras.  Only a mountain of a man, Darby Buckingham, could pound the railroad through the granite walls of trouble. Atop sheer rock cliffs just a death plunge away from the surging river a thousand feet below, braving punishing cold, Darby must lay down track, foot by hard-blasted foot, with a construction crew that is threatening to tear itself apart with vicious fighting. But as they climb toward the notorious Donner Pass they face the most brutal challenge - an avalanche of sabotage and murder...

      It's hard-rock mining and rock-hard brawling as the Derby Man takes on a boom town. A man could mine fabulous wealth on the Comstock but Darby Buckingham strikes only a mother lode of trouble. With his sledgehammer fists and sharply honed wits, Darby sets out to expose a spellbinding stock manipulator.  Rigging a boxing match that becomes a nightmare of punishment, sabotaging a mine shaft into a pit of death - Darby's rattle-snake of an opponent baits him ruthlessly. Yet like an enraged bear, the Derby Man comes roaring into action.

      When Rebel Morgan was the law, Bodie, California had been a town of hope and promise.  To quote the newspaper, Bodie was now "the wildest town in the west" and ex-sheriff Rebel was the whiskey-soaked town joke.  A broken and bitter man since his wife's brutal murder, Rebel had been unwilling to stem the rising bloody tide of violence and corruption that now threatened to destroy Bodie.  But Darby Buckingham is fiercely determined to whip Rebel back up to his former strength and to lend his own muscle to wipe out the town's savage criminals.
