THE HERO OF THE HUMBOLTS IS BACK ON THE TRAIL!
Breckinridge Elkins is just a good natured cowboy from the Nevada backcountry town of Bear Creek. He never goes looking for trouble, but between his bizarre relatives, strange neighbors, and just plain bad luck, trouble always seems to find him. An Elkins only knows one way to deal with trouble--and that is to hit or shoot it until it stops being a bother.
Breckinridge Elkins was one of the last major characters to spring from the fertile mind of Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan. Late in his career, Howard had all but stopped writing the fantasy and horror fiction for which he is best remembered today, preferring instead of focus on historical fiction, straight action-adventure, and humorous westerns such as the stories featured in this collection.
If you know and love Robert E. Howard through Conan, you've only seen a fraction of what he was capable of as a writer. Breckinridge Elkins Rides Again is in a complete different genre and a completely different style, and it will give you a completely different view of his underappreciated talent.
"I would very much like to see Howard be moved out of the footnote status of 'originated the sword and sorcery sub-genre' and into his proper place of respect among America's great authors."
