INTRODUCTION

Step into the gritty, sun-baked world of The Winner Takes All, where honor, chance, and survival collide in the lawless frontier. Written by Larry E. Huddleston, this hard-edged Western tale follows ex-Lieutenant Matthew Coy—a man scarred by war, bound by his own code, and drawn into a town where every card dealt might be his last.

Set against the dust and danger of the post-Civil War West, it’s a story of gun smoke and grit, of men ruled by violence and a few still trying to stand for something better. Coy isn’t a hero—just a man who’s seen too much to walk away when the killing starts.

Filled with vivid characters, tense showdowns, and the raw spirit of frontier justice, The Winner Takes All delivers a straight-shooting dose of Western pulp in the classic tradition.

Larry E. Huddleston is the author of several books available on Amazon.com. The Winner Takes All is presented here in full, and offers a glimpse into his sharp storytelling and unflinching sense of character.
