Description: JIM KEENE, drifter, trouble-seeker—lean, limber, fine-drawn by the habits of a roving life—joins the homesteaders in their bitter fight to the death with Grat DePard. DePard is a ruthless autocrat of the desert, a sage-brush Prussian, who seeks brutally to keep the "nesters" from the free land of Cloud Valley, but is at a loss how to handle tall, sweet-faced Aurora Brant, who settles in the cabin of a murdered homesteader in this "free- Land, under Keene’s protection. Not sure whether she loves Keene, Aurora is nevertheless keenly jealous of bold, man-hunting Portia Crews whose pursuit of Keene is not subtle. Another jealous person is Cleve Stewart, rancher in love with Aurora, a little light on power, a scholar on horseback, no killer in a land of killers.... How they love and hate and fight and die in this smiling land—a wild and treacherous land—forms a swift, jarring tale of the Old West. This special edition of RIM OF THE DESERT by Ernest Haycox has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Little, Brown and Company, Boston.
