Synopsis

Tex Larimee, a grizzled sheriff, leaving the deserts of Cactus County, Arizona, behind and blazing a trail east to mix it up with The Slickers in the canyons of New York. Robbed of his cash, gun and badge, and accused of murdering his best friend, Tex's welcome to the city is a rude one. But he's got a few tricks of his own up his sleeve — and in his recovered Colt .45 — to make even the toughest of city birds sing a different tune. Strap on your six-gun and spurs and take a bite out of the Big Apple as the audio version of The Slickers mixes up Wild West action with big city suspense.

Goodreads review by Steven on September 10, 2014

Okay, The Slickers reminded me a lot of that old TV show McCloud, where a lawman from New Mexico goes on assignment to the big city. It was always a case of the honest and hardworking backwoods country bumpkin teaching the more “sophisticated” city crooks a lesson or two. Tex Larimee isn’t from N......more

Goodreads review by Tom on October 19, 2014

THE SLICKERS is the latest offering from Galaxy Press in their efforts to republish the best works of the late L. Ron Hubbard. And like the other books in this collection I have read, it is a doozey. Really a collection of three short stories written by the author for adventure magazines in the mid......more

Written in the 1930s-40s in the hardboiled detective style, the action is fast and direct. In The Slickers Tex Larimee, Sheriff of Cactus County, Arizony, comes to New York to......more
