Blue Pete to the Rescue


Book Description

Sergeant Mahon of the Mounted Police is missing; he had been sent to the foothills west of Edmonton where only Indians lived. Blue Pete is asked to search and rescue the Sergeant-if the Indians have done anything to the Mountie then they will all pay with their lives swears the half-breed. "If yuh sent the Mounties after the Sergeant they'd never git him alive," said Blue Pete. "Them Neches 'ud do him in quick, an' thar's a million places to bury him whar nobody'd ever find him. I'm goin' to git him, Inspector. If they've done for him thar'll be so many notches on my guns I'll have to git new ones to hold 'em." This was the prelude to another of Blue Pete's amazing escapades-one which will undoubtedly thrill the many thousands to whom Blue Pete is known as the most popular and colourful cowboy in fiction.




The Vengeance of Blue Pete


Book Description

When Blue Pete intervened with the enraged ranchers to save Butch Dorman from the revenge he so richly deserved, Pete immediately became an object of suspicion himself. That suited Pete, because, although it meant hitting the lone trail in a hail of bullets, he saw a chance of the big reward offered for the capture of the rustlers whose depredations were making the ranchers desperate. But neither he, the ranchers, the rustlers nor the Mounties quite anticipated the climax of his daring escapade. This new Western yarn, in which Blue Pete, the most popular of all cowboy characters, scores all along the line, is the most thrilling of any that the author has yet written.




Blue Pete at Bay


Book Description

The story: When two hard-case characters rode in from the Badlands, Blue Pete smelt trouble a mile off. Nor was his instinct at fault. Outbreaks of rustling quickly followed the arrival of these men and suspicion turned to certainty when they made for the hills driving Blue Pete's own steers before them. Although a man of peaceful pursuits, Pete reckoned there were some things no man could do to him and get away with, and stealing his cattle was one of them. His half-breed blood afire, he followed in pursuit and plunged blindly into the trap which had been set for him. Quickly he realized that this was not just a rustler's ruse but an ingenious trap laid by an old enemy intent on levelling the score between them. Usually, in such circumstances, a man's only chance is to come out shooting, but this time it didn't work out quite like that. Truth says: "Blue Pete is the most popular of cowboy characters in fiction. . . . Mr. Allan has the technique of the Wild West at his finger-tips."




Blue Pete Breaks the Rules

Blue Pete-his own private score to settle with Scarway-refuses, though he knows that killing and cattle-rustling inevitably follow the outlaw's trail. In the great spring round-up near the Cypress Hills the stage is cunningly set for the show-down. Scarway, ace gunman, faces for the first time on equal terms the death-dealing guns of Blue Pete.




Blue Pete and the Pinto


Book Description

In this new Luke Allan story Blue Pete, that indomitable half-breed who works in his own fashion to uphold the law guarded by the red-coated Mounties, returns back over the Canadian border to the vast wilderness of canyon and gulch that is the Badlands of Montana. He is trailing a bunch of horse-thieves who have cut into the herds of the Lazy M and on their furtive way back to the border have stolen Whiskers, Blue Pete's celebrated pinto pony. It is war to the death, with Blue Pete's old friend Sergeant Mahon of the Mounties doffing his red coat and following a trail that is blazed by the fury of the half-breed's vengeance.




Blue Pete: Detective


Book Description

Blue Pete was not a rancher-with that Indian blood he had to have some excitement in his life. Inspector Barker makes Blue Pete and unofficial detective to do a task that the North-west Mounted Police cannot officially, lawfully, fulfill. This job takes Blue Pete west past Fitzhugh (Jasper, today), past the British Columbia border wherein the Mounties have no authority to work. Here Pete makes too many new 'friends', each of which may be a deadly enemy! Life in the end-of-steel village is exciting, even without his detective work!




Blue Pete, Unofficially


Book Description

Into Medicine Hat, just before the year's big beef roundup, drift four cow-punchers from across the Border. Everything about Slick Jordan, their leader, stamps him as a dude, except the way he whirls a rope and handles his steel-dust broncho. When Jordan singles out Blue Pete for his attention, Inspector Barker, of the Mounted Police, has a hunch that trouble is about to follow in the wake of the newcomers. He learns how right his hunch was when Sergeant Mahon, Blue Pete's friend, reports on the strange happenings that delay the roundup. Blue Pete finds his time fully occupied keeping check on Jordan and his companions, who have hired out to the T-Inverted R and promptly ran foul of its foreman, Tully Mason. Secret attempts at murder and covert rustling across the Border step up the tempo of this new story in which the popular Blue Pete again proves that he can think faster than the next man, and that for him, at least, the dark expanse of the Cypress Hills holds no secrets.




Blue Pete in the Badlands


Book Description

The half-breed Blue Pete and Rance Hewitt were old enemies and Rance was not the man to allow a debt of vengeance to go unpaid. Determined to get even with Pete, he laid a trap to take the half-breed across the border into Rance's own territory. The trick succeeded, and the two men came face to face in the way Rance liked to meet his enemies-he armed with a quirt, and his adversary securely trussed up against any possible reprisal. Pete took his beating with sullen hatred; silently swearing to return blow for blow until Rance cringed for mercy. The unofficial arrival of Mahon of the Mounties speeded the moment of retribution as he and Pete fought their way to freedom. But before they left, Pete levelled the score in a quick and ruthless reckoning.
