Synopsis


On the wild western frontier, the three men known as the Jackals stand between the law and the lawless—delivering their own brand of justice with a fast draw, dead aim, and enough bullets to populate Boot Hill. Johnstone Territory. Where DeathRides Hard. Apache renegade Bloody Hand plays a role in each of the Jackals’ lives. To bounty hunter Jed Breen, he is man with a price on his head. To retired cavalry segeant Sean Keegan, he is a cellmate after a drunken brawl. And to former Texas Ranger Matt McCulloch, he is the key to a mystery that has long haunted him. When McCulloch breaks Bloody Hand out of jail, his fellow Jackals follow them into Mexico. Now, all four are wanted men. The U.S. Army and bounty hunters cross the Rio Grande in pursuit. Awaiting them south of the border are Mexican rurales led by Confederate expatriate Major Block Frazer seeking revenge against Bloody Hand. But nothing will stop McCulloch from completing his mission—to save his daughter from the Apache band that abducted her years before. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Jackals will stand together to free McCulloch’s daughter—or end up hung, drawn, and quartered. Live Free. Read Hard.



My Review

This was a great story. I really like how this book not only had troubles with Indians but also a kidnapping. This made the story exciting and I definitely enjoyed reading it. The characters were great and developed well. I actually rated this book 3.5 stars rounded up as it was so close to getting that 4th star. It had a great medium pace that built up to a great end. Its obviously that part of this story may well feature in the next book. The journey might not be over yet. I loved the description in the book and it lead to some great atmosphere and tension. The story was well wrote and mostly kept my attention but there was a couple of times I switched off where the pace slowed a little. Although not my favourite story I still really enjoyed the reading experience as it held some exciting events. I definitely recommend reading this book especially if you have read the rest if this story.

Many thanks to the author and publishers for creating such an enjoyable story.
