    [synopsis] => When it comes to boiling up a pot of coffee or stirring up a pot of  stew, Old Laramie's about as good a man as you're going to find. But  other than cooking three squares a day for the cowpunchers over at the  Lazy G ranch, Laramie's not good for much. He's about as heroic as  Walter Brennan on a bender. But Laramie's luck-and life-are about  to take an amazing turn. Quite by accident, he somehow manages to save a  family of Mexicans from bandits, and as a token of their gratitude they  give him The Magic Quirt-a horsewhip that he's told will turn him into a  new man. The transformation is indeed magical. Suddenly Laramie  is performing feats of ingenuity and courage that would make even the  Lone Ranger proud. But magic is a funny thing-and as Laramie's about to  discover, sometimes it's all an illusion. L. Ron Hubbard wrote  of his childhood: "The weather of Montana is, of course, brutal. The  country is immense and swallows up men rather easily, hence they have to  live bigger than life to survive. There were still Indians around  living in forlorn and isolated tepees. Notable among them was Old Tom, a  full-fledged Blackfoot medicine man." Hubbard and Old Tom became blood  brothers, and the medicine man shared with him the kind of lore that  make stories like The Magic Quirt as compelling as they are. Also  includes the Western adventures, Vengeance Is Mine!, the story of a  young man who sets out to avenge his father's death only to commit an  act beyond redemption, and Stacked Bullets, in which a game of chance is  fixed, a whole town is cheated, and nothing but a stack of bullets can  make things right.
