Synopsis

Some call it the most dangerous stagecoach in the West. But the hard-driving owners of the Frontier Overland Company will get you where you want to go—if you don't mind a detour through hell . . .

The Civil War is over. But Wyoming Territory is still a battleground for the native tribes who live there. Most folks avoid the area like the plague. But not former Texas Ranger Butch Keeler and his saloon fight buddy Tucker Cobb. They figured Wyoming would be the perfect place to launch the Frontier Overland Company—a rough-and-ready stagecoach operation that dares to go where others fear to tread. Butch and Cobb aren't afraid of much—but their next stagecoach trip could change all that. And it just might be their last . . .

The passengers are good people: Colonel McBride, who's delivering much-needed supplies to Fort Washington, and his lovely niece, who wants to visit her dying father. Even though the road to get there is overrun with armed Lakota, Cheyenne, and other deadly threats, Butch and Cobb are determined to help an old friend. Problem is, their worst enemy—a power-hungry business rival and self-described "King"—is out there. Waiting for them. Laying a trap to destroy their operation. And plotting to burn everything to the ground. Over Butch and Cobb's dead bodies . . .

Goodreads review by Denice on June 24, 2024

There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point......more

Goodreads review by Rob on April 18, 2024

First, the title doesn't fit the book. The volume is so well done, it deserves a more related moniker. This is the first Johnstone Clan series that is working as a serial. This is the 2nd entry and, as the book ends, there will be a 3rd. That's fine with me. This series is in my top 5 of the current......more

Second story in the series of The Frontier Overland Company. I gave the first story a 2 rating. This one was better.

Goodreads review by James on April 05, 2024

I've become a fan of westerns as of 2003. My first true love was and is "Tombstone". This was my first ever western book. Going in with an open mind, I was not disappointed at all. The characters were easy to relate to, the plot was not predictable (which I truly appreciate), and the ending was unex......more
