Both entries in this collection appeared after Fran Striker’s death in 1962. One More River (1994) is a posthumous historical novel drawn from his manuscripts, published more than thirty years after the car accident that killed him. Sergeant Preston and Rex (2020) is a reissued edition connected to his Sgt. Preston of the Yukon radio franchise, the Canadian Mountie series he created alongside the Lone Ranger.
Sgt. Preston of the Yukon ran as a radio program from 1938 and later became a television series. Like the Lone Ranger, the character moved across multiple media. The 2020 edition makes this material accessible to modern readers.
