Dan Burton: Texas Ranger: Border Reckoning: A Western Adventure
The second adventure in a brand new Western series from Clem Mariotte!
In the unforgiving late-1880s Texas frontier, where change is carving through the open range and old grudges die hard, Texas Ranger Dan Burton walks a razor’s edge between badge and blood. Scarred by the brutal murder of his family as a boy, Dan hunts justice with a father’s engraved Colt, a Bowie knife, and unyielding restraint—preferring cuffs and trials over vengeance, even when the pull is strongest. Anchored by his resilient wife Maria, their spirited young daughter Clara, and a growing network of unlikely allies—from grizzled vaqueros to sharp-eyed sharpshooters—Dan faces down rustlers, corrupt power brokers, and the closing shadows of the Wild West. In a world of tensions, border reckonings, and fading frontier codes, the Dan Burton series delivers gritty, morally complex Western tales of family, loyalty, and the hard cost of doing right when the law itself starts to bend.

Wow this one was better than the first one!
Great story! This was a very good story, but if his horse really had a shoe that loose he'd have never made a quarter of that ride! Perhaps the author meant to have him take the time to tighten the nails or even reset the shoe?
Great storyline!

Suspenseful
A lot of action. Very bad outlaws. Good description of the battles and landscape. Can't wait for the next in the series.
