On the way to Tahoe City, Stryker is badly injured and is nursed back to health by a beautiful Gypsy doctor and her attractive young daughter. Read "Trouble in Tahoe" and learn why what remains of the weathered stamped name, MAJOR NEVILLE STRYKER, on his saddle best fits the Major - EVIL STRYKER. "The unconventional collected works of Wes Rand was recommended to me. I can say these are not for the whimsical as you'll wish that only bandits, outlaws, and wildlife, are the only things to fear. Bring a gun as you sit down to read and pray you are not on the wrong side of Major Neville Stryker." Diane Kawasaki, writer and star of TLC's hit show My Little Life "Gritty, dark, and fast-paced-If you love frontier action, Wes Rand's PAYBACK IS HELL will knock you out of the saddle." Eric J. Guignard, award-winning author, and editor, including After Death... and Baggage of Eternal Night, Bram Stoker Award-winner "As a filmmaker, I can see the vibrant images come to life on every page as Evil Stryker crosses every line of decency and yet leaves the women wanting him and the men wanting to be him. Wes has created an anti-hero of devastating impact." Vincent Rocca, Writer/Director of KISSES AND CAROMS, Author of 11 Simple Steps to Turn a Screenplay into a Marketable Movie: Or, How I Got a $10k Movie to Gross $1 Million through Warner Bros "A wild ride through the old west, filled with unforgettable characters and plenty of action. Payback Is Hell hits all the marks! You're going to love Evil Stryker!" John Palisano, Vice President of the Horror Writers Association and Bram Stoker Award-Winning Author of Night of 1,000 Beasts "Payback is Hell operates like a confident, skilled executioner across its violent Western landscape."
