Synopsis

THE SAGA BEGINS...

The war between the States has ended. Now, driven from Texas by carpetbaggers, former CSA Colonel Shamus O'Brien sets off for a new frontier-- New Mexico. Here, where land is cheap, bandits shoot to kill, and rustlers rule the night, it takes more than one man to run a ranch. So he offers a partnership to his eldest son, Jacob, with equal shares going to his sons Sam, Patrick, and Shawn. Together, the brother's O'Brien will defend their homestead, the Dromore, in this violent, lawless land...and when necessary, administer their own brand of frontier justice.

Goodreads review by Randy on March 20, 2012

I quite enjoyed this tale of the family O'Brien and the four brothers, the things they do to ensure their home survives, the complexity of the four brothers.

Goodreads review by Rob on February 11, 2014

This is one Hell of a good book. Not much for using "Page turner", but page turning I was. Don't know who in the Johnstone Clan wrote this, but this is the best I've read of the twelve or so read so far. The ghost writer really got the idea of early Johnstone books of defining characters and fleshin......more

The O'Brien family is divided in THE KILLING SEASON. Colonel Shamus O'Brien and his segundo and friend Luther Ironside have gone off to help an old friend from the war. The brothers have a band of Mexican outlaws who want to sack Dromore and burn it to the ground. The Colonel's old friend is sheriff......more

Goodreads review by Steph on December 29, 2015

A well written story detailing the rise ofthe Dromore ranch and the family O'Brien. Perhaps a bit darker, as some other people have pointed out, but certainly not a "dark tale". It may stem from the head of the family, Shamus, only seeming to care what happens to his ranch and his family or the dead......more

Goodreads review by Flannery on February 07, 2012

This book is AMAZING! I love the lesson of loyalty in the O'Brien family and although I'm not much of a fan of patriarchal stories this one hit home. You can't help but respect Shamus O'Brien and all that he and his wife Saraid went through to build Dromore, their huge spread in the New Mexico Terri......more
