"By age six, the Australian Ian Anderson had already decided what he wanted to be when he grew up -- a red-coated Canadian Mountie. By the age of seven, he also knew he wanted to be a writer."
Ian Anderson wrote seven volumes in his SCARLET RIDERS Series:
#1 CORPORAL CAVANNAGH
"He rode with the fiercest fighting men in the Empire -- right into a deadly Sioux trap!"
Cavannagh strapped on his pistol when he learned the Sioux were trading for a huge shipment of Winchester repeaters rifles. He knew, better than anyone, that the bright scarlet tunics of the Mounties might soon be soaked in the deeper crimson of blood. So he saddled up and thundered out onto the high plains to either stop an Indian war -- or a bullet.
#2 THE RETURN OF CAVANNAGH
"He stood tall with the toughest men in Canada -- but bloody death waited for them all..."
A power hungry schemer in the U.S. hired an army of bloodthirsty outlaws to massacre the Mounties at Fort Walsh. That was his first step in a cunning conspiracy to grab the huge Northwest Territories from the fledgling Dominion of Canada. It was a perfect plan that took everything into account -- except for a sharp-shooting ex-cavalry officer named Cavannagh -- now a member of the North-West Mounted Police.
#3 BEYOND THE STONE HEAPS
They had a job to do: bring the Queen's justice to the lawless Canadian West. But new to the frontier, the Mounties were destined for a long tour of death -- until they were joined by a bold Indian fighter named Cavannagh. Together they created the grand legend of THE SCARLET RIDERS.
Fresh from slaughtering Custer at Little Big Horn, the bloodthirsty Sioux crossed the border into Canada. Immediately Cavannagh was on their trail, seeking a renegade chief who had launched a vicious mission of vengeance. With death on all sides, Cavannagh boldly rode into the Sioux camp. Only he can stop a raging Indian war that would end just one way -- Mountie massacre!
#4 SERGEANT O'REILLY
There were riches to be found beneath the thick pine forests that cloaked the tall mountains and deep valleys of the Northwest Territories. Ans no one knew it better than the manager of the Pacific and Western Coal Company, Refflon Lasher. And when company prospectors discover silver in the valley of the Stony Indians, Lasher will stop at nothing to get it, even if it means starting a bloody Indian war...
Bringing justice to the lawless frontier was a tough job, and there never was a tougher man than Sergeant Hugh O'Reilly of the Mounties. When Lasher's men reduce the Indian village to ashes, O'Reilly pusues the avenging Stoney chief across the trackless wilderness -- to bring him in to save his people's honor. And to see justice served. For O'Reilly, it means risking his life and career. But danger and death are the very essence of the growing legend of the North-West Mounted Police.
#5 FORT TERROR
Corporal Robert Parsons of the Mounties was a bright daub of scarlet and gold against the deep green forests of spruce and pine as he rode west toward the cloud-shrouded Rockies. And the farther west he rode the more stories he heard about women with hair the color of the sun who lived at the foot of the Backbone-of-the-World -- about dark, hooded riders who guarded the gray escarpment, shadowy forms who were the shadows of death!
Parsons was proud to serve Queen and country as a scarlet-coated guardian of justice. He rode wherever the Union Jack waved, and the Jack waved over a hell of a lot of territory. But when he was suddenly ambushed and captured by the robed and bearded killer monks of Fort Terror, Parsons knew his life was at the mercy of the deadliest assassins in the Territory. It was up to him, and him alone, to stop their bloodthirsty reighn of anarchy and chaos, to bring law and order back to the uncharted wilderness -- to turn the tide of battle and continue the growing legend of THE SCARLET RIDERS.
#6 THE FLYING PATROL
All along the Northwest border, a clandestine crew of rustlers and backshooters were slaughtering decent men and seizing their homesteads. But the North-West Mounted Police weren't about to let a secret army of murdering owlhoots rob hard-working folks of their homes and livelihoods. The gallant lawmen were determined to track the jaspers' bloody trail to wherever it might lead -- be it Hell itself. Thus the Flying Patrol was formed -- a group of roughriding Mounties prepared to respond instantly to any word of the rustlers.
Young Hugh O'Reilly was a new recruit to the men in Scarlet, raw and untested but eager to show his grit. Alone against the powerful cattleman "Iron Fist" Taggert, the boss of the rustlers, O'reilly knew a baptism of blood was at hand. But even with the odds against him a hundred bullets to one, Hugh swore to go down with guns blazing...
#7 DEAD OR ALIVE
The daring Montana bank robbery had left two law-abiding citizens lying dead in the dust and the owlhoots responsible galloping north to Canada. But Deouty U.S. Marshall William James Edson wasn't about to let a trio of vicious outlaws get away with murder!
No one felt justice's pull stronger than Sergeant Colin MacGregor of the North-West Mounted Police. Joining forces with the determined U.S. Deputy, the Mountie took off in hot pursuit of the dangerous desperados across the vast Canadian wilderness. But six thousand renegade Sioux stood in the way of the lawmen and law-breakers alike. And faced with blood-hungry Redskins, desperate killers, and the savage, fast-approaching Canadian winter, it looked like nothing short of death would be Sergeant MacGregor's price for preserving the glorious legacy of the SCARLET RIDERS.
