Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Tom Terror, the Outlaw" by James Jackson is a thrilling novel written in the late 19th century, set in the wild and lawless landscapes of the American West. This action-packed story follows the notorious outlaw Tom Terror, who has a reputation steeped in danger and defiance. As he navigates various challenges, including confrontations with vigilantes and rival outlaws, the narrative unfolds the grim realities and moral dilemmas of frontier life. The novel primarily revolves around Tom Terror's return to Cut-throat Canyon, where he encounters an array of characters, including an indomitable young boy known as Judge Lynch, Jr., who administers his own form of frontier justice. The dynamic between Tom and his adversaries leads to intense confrontations that highlight themes of revenge, lawlessness, and redemption. Alongside the thrilling action, the story also delves into personal histories and secrets, particularly concerning the true identity of Myra, a young girl tied to the sordid pasts of the outlaw world. The climax brings together these various threads as the characters face reckoning and the ultimate struggle for power and survival in a beautiful yet brutal landscape.
