Sonny
By Murray Leinster
A wanted outlaw rides into a lawless town where rustlers run rampant and the sheriff is accused of corruption. When Sonny Holman tames the infamous outlaw horse Gunpowder, he’s offered a dangerous deal: serve as deputy and uncover the truth behind the cattle thefts—or face the consequences. But in Helada, trust is scarce, and every shadow hides a gunman with a grudge. A high-stakes game of deception, loyalty, and survival unfolds under the scorching desert sun.
