Lone Star 52 (Electronic book text)

A barn-storming balloonist launches Jessie and Ki on a high-flying adventure Jessie and Ki are breathing a little easier with the cartel out of the way. That is, until a ballooniest lands on Starbuck property with the notion of using his contraption to ride the range. Ki thinks the balloonist is full of hot air, while Jessie seems to fall for his scheme. But Jessie's attitude changes with the weather and the balloon's altitude, as the pair are blown over the border and into a nest of vicious Mexican bandits.
