[Bodie 08] • Bodie 8

In the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming, Bodie is on the trail of Lew Gallman and his gang. They’re a bunch of brutal killers who’ll go to any lengths to get what they want, and kill anyone who stands in their way.

Tracking the Gallman bunch in the heart of a raging storm, Bodie takes shelter in a cave and meets Ruby Keogh, survivor of an encounter with the Gallman crew. When one of the Gallman gang shows up, Bodie deals with him and is then tasked, reluctantly at first, with seeing that Ruby gets to safety before he can continue his manhunt.

At last, riding into the high country, Bodie faces danger and near-death before the hunt climaxes on the peaks of the Bighorn Mountains, where the outlaws fight to the last man against The Stalker.

Neil Hunter is a pseudonym of the prolific Lancashire-born writer Michael R. Linaker. As Neil Hunter, Mike wrote two classic western series, BODIE THE STALKER and JASON BRAND. Under the name Richard Wyler he produced four stand-alone westerns, INCIDENT AT BUTLER’S STATION, THE SAVAGE JOURNEY, BRIGHAM’S WAY and TRAVIS. Another western, HIGH KILL, was later published in the SUNDANCE series as BOUNTY KILLER. His western output can also be found under the names ‘Dan Stewart’, ‘John C. Danner’ and ‘Frederick H. Christian’, the latter name employed when he ghost-wrote an additional five titles in Frederick Nolan’s popular FRANK ANGEL series. Mike has written three ‘nasty’ horror novels under his own name, but since the late 1980s has become best-known as one of the most popular contributors to Gold Eagle’s MACK BOLAN series, chronicling the adventures of PHOENIX FORCE, THE EXECUTIONER and STONY MAN, as well as his own action-adventure series, CADE.
