Longarm 315: Longarm and the Lost Patrol, written by Tabor Evans

Welcome to the wild, wild west, folks! In Longarm 315: Longarm and the Lost Patrol, our favorite U.S. Marshal, Longarm himself, is back in action and boy, is it a rodeo of mischief! This installment follows the rugged, mustachioed lawman as he rides through trouble, justice, and a whole lot of cowboy clichés. Grab your saddle, 'cause we're diving in!

First things first, let's set the scene. Our hero, Longarm, is a man of action. He embodies everything you would expect from a classic western hero: he's tough, he's got a heart of gold, and of course, he's packing heat. When he gets wind of a mysterious patrol that seems to have vanished into thin air, you know this is going to get wild. Like a tumbleweed in a windstorm, Longarm is off on an adventure to figure out what happened and, of course, to save the day!

As you can imagine, the journey isn't all gunfights and saloon brawls. Oh no, there's drama and intrigue at every corner. The Lost Patrol isn't just a clever name; it's a dire situation involving a band of soldiers who are now, shocker alert, missing! So, Longarm must put on his detective hat (or maybe just tilt his cowboy hat) to track down these unfortunate souls. And here comes the twist - it's not just a simple rescue mission, because what's a western without a few nefarious bad guys? Spoiler Alert: things get a bit hairy, and not just because of Longarm's sidekick's questionable grooming choices.

Along the way, our charming marshal encounters a cast of characters that are nothing short of typical for cowboy tales. You have the spicy saloon Belle who's got more tricks up her sleeve than a magician at a kids' party, the grumpy sheriff who thinks Longarm is stepping on his toes, and of course, the villainous outlaw who's got a plot thicker than molasses. Each interaction is filled with witty banter and enough sarcasm to fill a saloon with laughter-Longarm's got jokes, and he isn't afraid to use them!

And let's not forget the beautiful landscapes! The dusty trails, the rolling hills, and an occasional tumbleweed that seems to have more personality than some of the characters. Honestly, if you ignore the gunfights for a second, this could almost be a travel brochure for the Wild West. Just be careful-don't get too lost.

But wait, there's more! Underneath all the shooting and horse-riding, there's a skewed perspective that reflects the cowboy ethos-loyalty, bravery, and perhaps a pinch of foolhardiness. Longarm's dedication to his job is commendable, albeit occasionally bordering on reckless. But what do you expect from a marshal? Just your everyday cowboy trying to make America a safer place, one misadventure at a time.

So, is Longarm gonna find that lost patrol? Will he manage to outsmart the bad guys and bring justice to the frontier? Well, that's for you to discover when you grab this delightful romp through the wild west. Just remember to keep your boots on and your hat tilted-because Tabor Evans is taking you on a ride filled with action, drama, and enough sarcasm to fill a campsite bonfire.

In conclusion, Longarm 315: Longarm and the Lost Patrol delivers a classic western adventure with all the trimmings-horrifyingly bad decisions, questionable hairstyles, and our beloved hero proving once again, that no matter how lost things get, there's always a way back to a good old-fashioned showdown. Ride on, Longarm!
