What appears to be a simple salvage job erupts into a desperate battle for an incredible prize.

“Two genres” stated Tommy Hancock, Editor in Chief of Pro Se, “that scream to be tangled together are the Western and Science Fiction. We’ve seen it done for decades and it’s a proven formula for unique and exciting stories. With the author lineup we have in Six Guns and Spaceships, the combination of the two goes to a whole other level. Stories that harken back to classic dime novels as well as classic science fiction is what you’ll find in this collection.”
