Synopsis
JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. No one knows better than the American masters of epic Western fiction that forging a new life on the frontier takes hope, drive, and plenty of ammunition. The war is over. But a new battle is on the horizon. Based on true events. It’s 1852. The wounds of the Mexican War are healing. Regis Royle, co-owner of a steamship fleet, has made it out alive, relatively unscarred and with enough profit and foolhardy ambition to envision a new life in south Texas. With the help of his crack-shot kid brother Shepley, his glad-handing riverboat partner Cormac Delany, and his old friend, raw-edged former Texas Ranger Jarvis “Bone” McGraw, Regis is laying claim to the prime jewel in a magnificent rolling prairie: the Santa Calina range teeming with wild mustangs, cattle, and eighteen-thousand acres of lush promise. But all dreams have a price. For Regis, it’s hell to pay—and the fire is coming at him from all directions. On one side of the border, it’s banditos and a vengeful Mexican heiress with a passionate hatred for greenhorn gringos. Especially those who have their eye on land once owned by her family. On the other side, the Apaches, slave traders, and outlaws have Santa Calina in their sights. And none of them are going to walk away from the bloody battle. The brothers Royle and their partners have the most to lose—including their lives. They made a pledge to themselves to build the greatest ranch in America. To see it through to the end, they’ll have to ride hard and learn the bitter necessity of violence and bloodshed.
My Review
Wow I just loved this book. I absolutely love western books and this one was just out of this world. The story line was utterly brilliant and I could not put this book down. I was definitely binge reading it, I couldn't get enough. I can tell you there was a very late night as I just needed to know what was going to happen next. I just loved all the action and adventure in this story. I became emotionally involved in the story and the characters. I just loved all the twists and how I never knew what was going to happen next. This will be a very exciting series of books and I just can't wait to read more books by this amazing author. I really do recommend this book to all those western/ cowboy fans and all those who love intense action that you don't see coming. It was a very thrilling fast paced novel that you will not be able to put down.
Only the highest of praise to the author and publishers for creating such a gripping story-line that im positive you will love just as much as I did.
