Brimstone

The Sharpshooter #1

by Tobias Cole

The story of Andersonville prison camp was written in blood, with few left alive to tell it. Union Army sharpshooter Jed Wells was one of them, a man of conscience sworn to share the tales of those who suffered and died beside him. It is a promise that has brought Jed to Kansas and to small-town sheriff Amos Broughton, a friend and fellow survivor of hell on earth. But the ghosts that haunt Broughton are demanding and hungry. And his dangerous obsession with a mysterious man of God threatens to explode in a vengeful rain of bullets and death -- forcing Jed Wells to take up his rifle once again to save a soul damned by terrible secrets buried with the bones of captured soldiers in the Georgia mud.

[J.R. Underdown · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love me a good western, and this is a good western! It contains a hero you can root for, actually treats a religious figure with respect, gives a unique look at PTSD, and delivers on everything it sets up. May be more obscure, but if you love a good western as well this is a worthy read.

So-so.
