Arizona Ranger Series

The Arizona Ranger Series is a clean western fiction series by R.J. Sloane, following different Arizona Rangers from the real historical company that operated in Arizona Territory from 1901 to 1909. It is a separate series from Harper's Justice, though both are set in the Arizona Territory.


The Arizona Rangers rode the thin line between local law and border lawlessness.

The Arizona Rangers rode the thin line between local law and border lawlessness. An elite force of marksmen and cattlemen, formed in 1901 to bring order to a territory the rest of the nation had already left behind. Each book follows a different Ranger, a different patrol, the same silver star.

The Ranger's Badge

Arizona Ranger Shane Harper

Frontier grit. Brothers-in-arms. A partnership worth the debt.

Shane Harper didn't want a partner. He wanted a horse, a trail, and a job done clean. Then Kendall Bowden put a bullet between him and a dead man's aim, and Shane owed him his life.

Across eleven gritty patrols spanning the territory, the two Rangers ride the thin line between local law and border lawlessness. From an armed standoff in Brewery Gulch to a high-timber homestead under siege, and a cross-border pursuit alongside a ruthless Rurale colonel, every mile tightens the bond between two men who'd take a bullet for each other without blinking.

Told by an aging Shane to grandchildren hungry for the stories he's never quite finished telling, The Ranger's Badge is inspired by the real history of the Arizona Rangers.
