DYNAMITE RIDERS
In the small isolated town of Richman there were no tall buildings or gas-filled planes to crash into them. When Alf Gant and his men rode through town tossing sticks of dynamite on that fateful day in the fall of 1875, they only destroyed a few buildings and killed a few people. A harmless old preacher. A young couple and their baby boy, who had come to town in a buckboard to do a little shopping.
The problem was that the young woman in the buckboard was Sam Good's sister and her husband was the son of the biggest rancher east of the mountain wall that guarded Gant's Basin and a terrible secret. Alf Gant's real name was Omar bin Laden and the attack on Richman was just the beginning of an insane holy war he had been planning for years.
Only a small group of avengers rode into Gant's Basin, Led by Sam Tucker Good. And before they even got started, three of them were quietly eliminated by a traitor among them.
Warning: Reading a Van Holt western may make you want to get on a horse and hunt some bad guys down in the Old West. Of course, the easiest and most enjoyable way to do it is vicariously�by reading another Van Holt western.
Van Holt writes westerns the way they were meant to be written.

About the Author
What some reviewers have to say about Van Holt�s writing:
�I had a feeling that Van Holt�might actually be the successor to Zane Gray, a master Western storysmith, whose novels set the style of a generation.� --Stern0
�Van Holt is King of the Spaghetti Western�� --Rarebird1
Van Holt wrote his first western when he was in high school and sent it to a literary agent, who soon returned it, saying it was too long but he would try to sell it if Holt would cut out 16,000 words. Young Holt couldn't bear to cut out any of his perfect western, so he threw it away and started writing another one.
A draft notice interrupted his plans to become the next Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour. A tour of duty as an MP stationed in South Korea was pretty much the usual MP stuff except for the time he nabbed a North Korean spy and had to talk the dimwitted desk sergeant out of letting the guy go. A briefcase stuffed with drawings of U.S. aircraft and the like only caused the overstuffed lifer behind the counter to rub his fat face, blink his bewildered eyes, and start eating a big candy bar to console himself. Imagine Van Holt's surprise a few days later when he heard that same dumb sergeant telling a group of new admirers how he himself had caught the famous spy one day when he was on his way to the mess hall.
Holt says there hasn't been too much excitement since he got out of the army, unless you count the time he was attacked by two mean young punks and shot one of them in the big toe. Holt believes what we need is punk control, not gun control.
After traveling all over the West and Southwest in an aging Pontiac, Van Holt got tired of traveling the day he rolled into Tucson and he has been there ever since, still dreaming of becoming the next Zane Grey or Louis L'Amour when he grows up. Or maybe the next great mystery writer. He likes to write mysteries when he's not too busy writing westerns or eating Twinkies.
Warning: Reading a Van Holt western may make you want to get on a horse and hunt some bad guys down in the Old West. Of course, the easiest and most enjoyable way to do it is vicariously�by reading another Van Holt western.
