Immortalized in film and legend, the stagecoach was a colorful, hard-driving transport that linked far-flung places the railroads didn't reach. Now, Stagecoach is galloping into town with a strongbox full of action-packed stories celebrating this icon of the American West. First stop is a classic Louis L'Amour tale revisited. Then, seven new arrivals written by today's top Western writers make their whip-cracking debuts. Each follows an enigmatic stranger who arrives by stage at Tombstone - the town that was too tough to die - where they encounter the likes of the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday.
