Synopsis

Meet John Bannack. Jailed for a crime he didn't commit. Busted out of a Texas State Prison. Running for freedom and gunning for justice. They call him . . . THE MAN FROM WACO.

As a young man, John Bannack worked hard on his brother's farm—until times got tough and his brother grew desperate. Desperate enough to rob a bank. Unfortunately, John's brother left a trail that led straight to the Bannack farm. When a posse showed up to make an arrest, John made a fateful decision: He confessed to his brother's crime. Sacrificed his freedom for the sake of his brother's family. And doomed himself to a hard, hellish life in a rat-hole state prison . . . A man's got two choices in a place like that: get tough or get killed. For John Bannack it means this will be a one-way trip to Hell.

Bannack is on a work detail outside the prison. On the way back, Judge Wick Justice, who sentenced Bannack, tags along with the prison wagon, only to find he has involved himself in a planned prison break. When a gang ambushes the wagon and frees the prisoners, they bullet-blast the guards—and the judge takes a hunk of lead himself. But Bannack finds the judge alive and takes him to safety. In return, the judge releases him from prison and employs him as his bodyguard and avenger.

John Bannack, who becomes to be known as The Man from Waco, takes the fall for his brother who was facing arrest for armed bank robbery. Bannack skirts the lines of good and evil while in prison and garners a reputation for himself. What follows is an adventurous journey of right and wrong and of co......more

Goodreads review by Sam on December 29, 2024

It was a decent workman's job with a lousy "to be continued" ending. Riding off into the sunset without wrapping up the story stinks. Now I've got to read the next novel to see how it turned out. Throwing in a preview of another novel at the end instead of writing a satisfactory ending is just a cra......more

Goodreads review by Jkane on October 22, 2024

This is a first-rate western, and the best book that I've read from the Johnstone family. It would be very hard not to like the protagonist, or the justice that is ever-present throughout this novel. I've already moved onto the second book. While it's not Lonesome Dove, that just makes it the second......more

Just when I thought I had read every possible plot for a western novel, along comes Man From Waco. This is a great read and should not be missed. This is called “Book One”. I have looked everywhere for Book 2 and the closest I could find was a recorded reading. Hopefully Book 2 will appear soon as a......more
