A Texan rides in...

Stopping over in Plainstown, Kansas, Brad Manning has got only one thing on his mind - revenge.

His father was killed only a few months back and he aims to capture or kill those who murdered his old man,

Dell Rio, Judd Kenaz and Russ Grayson are the men in question. The latter of which is Manning's yellow-bellied cousin, who sold out his father in the first place.

Dell Rio and Judd Kenaz are already known and feared by the folk of Plainstown, as the two gunslingers call Sarbo county their stomping ground.

And as Manning soon discovers, the town's marshal, Faro Clayton, might have something to do with their continued freedom.

Catching Clayton trying to intimidate the local hotel owner, Dora Vail, both men take an instant disliking to each other.

Moreover, as an ex-Texas Ranger, Manning doesn't like Clayton's attitude to bending the law to his liking.

But Manning realises there are more problems than just cold-blooded killers and corrupt marshals in Plainsview.

The O Bar Ranch and the HT Bar Ranch are fighting over the tiny 4B Ranch run by Annie Baxter, a widow whose husband was recently shot and killed in an ambush.

And just when Manning least expects it, he's almost gunned down in his own surprise ambush.

Revenge may be burning in his bittered heart but Manning wants answers.

He'll get to the bottom of what's going on in Plainsview and perhaps along the way, he can meet the trio of killers and finally avenge his father...

Man From Texas is a gun-toting tale of revenge, loyalty and love, perfect for fans of Zane Gray.
