Sudden series is a classic romantic story, set in the American Wild West, with a
maligned hero seeking redemption, stacked odds, dirty-playing villains, beautiful
women, all the other paraphernalia. Sudden is arguably one of the finest Western
Fiction writings of the 20th Century. Perhaps the best testimony to its greatness is the
fact that in spite of being out of print for quite some time there has been an insatiable
craze for "Sudden" books even today.
In Sudden-Outlawed, which goes back to the beginning of his story, he has returned
to Texas from an Eastern education, but sets out on his quest for revenge on the death
of his foster parent, using the name James Green. Almost at once, he himself is wrongly
accused of murder and robbery and becomes an outlaw. In Sudden (1933), he is
pardoned by the Governor of Arizona, Bleke, made a US deputy marshal, and
subsequently sent on (typically undercover) missions to maintain law and order. In The
Range Robbers, in fact the first book to be written, his story is resolved. He is revealed
to be Donald Peterson, son of one of the men he has been hunting, and he marries
Noreen, who turns out to be the abducted daughter of his foster father. The other
object of his search is the villain of this story, whom Sudden exposes and kills.
The second story to be written, The Law o' the Lariat, follows on from The Range
Robbers. In it Sudden, this time calling himself Jim Severn, has temporarily left his wife
and family to go and help another rancher. However, the original situation outlined in
The Range Robbers, of a once-outlaw turned undercover lawman, forced to move
from place to place on his own quest for vengeance, provided a framework for any
number of more or less self-contained stories, and Strange devoted the rest of the
series to these earlier adventures.
