In these three tension fuelled short stories land ownership comes head to head with cattle, smugglers and guns.*Ocean of Grass* concerns the Circle L Ranch that has been in the possession of the Liskey family for two generations. Now Slim Liskey sees a crew of cowboys moving a large herd of fat cattle out of Grass Valley. The feed is gone and the chill of early autumn is in the air.*The Dark Avenger* concerns Texas Ranger Jim Travis, assigned to stop the smuggling over the border from Mexico. Travis is convinced that the smugglers are using the mighty War Bonnet Ranch for shipments, ruled by Samuel Barbera who has a strict policy against trespassers. The town of Alturas in *Halfmoon Ranch* is in Washoe Valley, a part of Nevada. Sheriff Lew Burton finds he has his hands full the gunfighter Mike Ayres, arrives in town. Ayres is not simply visiting.
