Synopsis

Introducing a rail-blazing new series set in the early days of the transcontinental railroad—when America headed west, outlaws climbed on board, and one man risked his life to stop them in their tracks . . .

WOLF STOCKBURN, RAILROAD DETECTIVE

The newspapers call them the Devil's Horde. A well-oiled team of cutthroat bandits who terrorize the Northern Pacific Railway on route to the coast through Dakota Territory. They dynamite the tracks, blow open the express car door, murder the crewmen, rob the passengers, and empty the safe of gold and cash. If Wells Fargo & Company can't find a way to stop the Devil's Horde, there'll be hell to pay . . .

Enter Wolf Stockburn. A tall rangy Scotsman who dresses like a gentleman but shoots like a cowboy, Stockburn learned his craft from a legendary gunfighter—and honed his skills as a Pony Express rider through hostile Indian country. Now the veteran Wells Fargo's detective will ride the rails from coast to coast. Make sure the train and its passengers reach their destination safely. And take down the Devil's Horde—one by one, bullet by bullet—the devil be damned . . .

About Max O'Hara

Max O'Hara turned to writing after thirty years of working in the construction and trucking industries. He grew up reading the Westerns of Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton, Max Brand, Elmore Leonard, and Ernest Haycox, among others. It was Jack Schaefer's 1949 classic Shane that really inspired him. "What Mr. Schaefer accomplished in 176 pages has never been equaled in American Western storytelling," O''Hara says. He lives in the Midwest USA.

Goodreads review by Laur on December 28, 2020

I'm struggling with the rating of this new series, Wolf Stockburn, Railroad Detective. It started out with full on action when a nasty band of bandito's, dubbed as the Devil's Horde, blew up the train tracks and proceeded to rob and kill passengers, as well as empty the safe of gold and cash.

I was looking forward to a challenging adventure, and instead I got sophomoric relationships, with a lot of blood and guts. Disappointing.......more

Goodreads review by Christopher on January 04, 2023

A ripping yarn of a western, with plenty of gunfights, fist fights, damsels in distress, bandits, a corrupt sheriff, and overall a slight lack of understanding of law and frontier culture. Our hero guns his way through the entire story dropping dozens of people without anyone even caring. The story i......more

Goodreads review by Red on February 02, 2023

I bought this book as a distraction for slow business days, and with expectations properly tempered it's a completely serviceable story. Wolf is a suitably likable protagonist, and the author does a good enough job presenting the action and environment in a way that is coherent and evocative. The pl......more
