Synopsis

From the bestselling chroniclers of the American West comes a riveting new chapter in the epic Buckhorn saga—the legendary adventures of a young gun-for-hire with Indian blood, a lightning-fast trigger, and his own special brand of justice . . .

When a wealthy cattle baroness hires Joe Buckhorn to track down her son, it sounds like easy money. But when he learns that the boy has run off with a girl—whose father is the leader of the cattle-rustling Riley clan—Buckhorn's only hope is to infiltrate the gang. Gain their trust. Live the outlaw life, even at the risk of death. There's just one problem: there's more than one gang. The Riley girl may have stolen a runaway boy's heart but the other gangs are stealing the baroness's cattle. Which puts Buckhorn in the middle of a violent, bloodsoaked range war. If he chooses the wrong side, he's as good as dead . . . but if he follows his gut and lives, there's going to be the darkest kind of hell to pay.

Goodreads review by Amanda on June 27, 2024

Honestly, this is probably more of a 2.5 - 2.75. But I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt for a minute because I’m not sure if it was a me problem or a book issue. And I can see why certain people would like this book. This felt like someone took their favorite episodes of NCIS and just mashed them......more

Goodreads review by Bryan on April 30, 2012

Right from the beginning this felt a bit like an ops technical manual. The author spends too much time on specific technical details in a way that pulls the reader out of the experience. Here's an example: "Maggie manned the digital 35mm Canon SLR. The single-lens-reflex camera was outfitted with a o......more

Lost stars because seaman second class and ensign are not the same rank. The odds of a Capt (06) leading a seal assault team are very slim. Making a cell call to a boomer on patrol are impossible. If an outsider can track the nuke on patrol, their deterrent value is greatly diminished. I also questi......more
