The first Western adventure in a new series from Chris Smith!
In the aftermath of the Civil War, Logan James emerges as a seasoned veteran, now serving as a Special US Marshal with a direct line to the Vice President. His latest assignment takes him to the quiet town of West Fork, where a brutal attack on farmer Karl Schmidt, involving stolen weapons, unravels into something far more sinister.
As Logan delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a web of conspiracy that stretches from coast to coast, reaching even into the highest echelons of government. With scandal lurking around every corner and danger closing in, Logan must navigate a treacherous landscape of deceit and betrayal.
From the dusty streets of West Fork to the hallowed halls of power, Logan faces adversaries at every turn, engaging in heart-stopping fistfights and dodging flying bullets as he races against the clock to expose the truth. Will he emerge victorious, or will the forces working against him prove too powerful to overcome?
Get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure packed with suspense, intrigue, and non-stop action. Logan James is about to embark on his most perilous mission yet, and the fate of an entire town hangs in the balance.
There is nothing wrong with the book; it simply was not the kind of book that I would have enjoyed reading. To tell you the truth, it was not a terrible book.
This is a brand new series from Smith, and easily his best book yet! He's done his research and has put together a story that involves conspiracy, murder, good old-fashioned cowboy gunfights, and a sense of intrigue.
Logan James is a great new character and he's like a locomotive, flattening his enemies before him! There's a definite feeling of Jack Reacher in this book...and I like it!
I highly recommend this book to western readers and thriller readers alike!
This was a fantastic book! There's action from beginning to end, the writing is great, and the plot flows really nicely!
This feels like a traditional western with a touch of spy thriller about it as Special US Marshal Logan James operates on behalf of higher powers for the good of the entire nation. It was interesting getting a bit of his back story, and also seeing his tough-as-nails approach when crushing any bad guys that get in his way.
I think this is the start of a great new series from Chris Smith.
