The Reckoning

by Ethan J. Wolfe

The Youngblood brothers, Jack and Emmet, are called back into service by Judge Isaac Parker in an all new historical western adventure. Sally Chisum, niece of the late John Chisum of New Mexico, sells one thousand head of cattle to the Indian reservation in Fort Smith. Nine drovers off the reservation agree to drive the herd from New Mexico to Arkansas. At the midpoint, just south of the Red River, the nine drovers are attacked and killed and the herd is stolen. Judge Parker assigns Marshal Jack Youngblood and his brother, Emmet, the daunting task of tracking down the men responsible for the gruesome crime and bringing them to justice. The brothers recruit the services of veteran army scout Red Moon to track for them.

The Youngblood brothers are called to service by Judge Parker to find a gang of very organized cattle wrestlers. The Gang has stolen over 1,500 cattle when all is said and done. Things go from bad to worse when the tracker the Youngbloods have hired is shot, and they have to have a new tracker. It turns out to be an enemy turned almost friend that helps the brothers. There are so many turns and twists in this one, from Jack trying to stay faithful to the woman he is going to marry once this adventure is over to the brother's momma finding love.

Extremely poor ending after a 200+ page build up to a dud ending. Seems like he got tired of the story and just ended it. It was all primed for a shootout showdown and it fizzled. Very disappointing 😕

It started out well. But, it did not have a good ending. It just sort of stopped. There was a big buildup with no delivery on the premise.
