Thirty years before the events of He Who Comes, Reuben Cole is a young man yet unforged in the blood of his enemies.

His ruthless determination to hunt down those who have broken the law is a force that drives him forward. An ex-army scout, his skills are valued and sought after whenever trouble arises. When evil men try to seize what others possess, Reuben is called in.

No one who crosses Reuben Cole is going to stay around for long. He is the hunter of those who break the unspoken creed of the Old West.

About the author

My first published book 'Cold Hell in Darley Dene' (written as Glenn Stuart) was the culmination of years of trying to get myself into print. Back in 1979 I submitted a novel to a publisher, and in 2009 Darley Dene was accepted. Thirty years of honing my skills, and learning a lot about the world. If I had the chance, I'd almost certainly re-write all of my books, improve them, make them more solid, because the more we write, the better we get.This is what has happened to 'Darley Dene'. It's now available as 'Lament for Darley Dene', re-written and improved. Soon, you will find the same with 'The Pawnbroker', a horror story which I am sure many out there will enjoy.
My current day-job is being a teacher, a job I love. Without it I would not be able to continue to write; it also gives me a wealth of characters and so many ideas. The bills get paid too!
I write now as Stuart G Yates in a range of genres. Unflinching is my best-selling Western, but if you like historical fiction, thrillers or spine-tingling horror, I am sure I have a title for you.
For the moment, I live in Spain, which is not so wonderful as people try to make out, and I would dearly love to return to Old Blighty, find a little cottage and write full time. Or the Philippines and be with my fiance, marry her, find happiness. Dreams, but dreams that I am trying very hard to make true. Afterall, it's dreaming what writers do best...don't they?

A good action packed book.

This book had a convoluted way of coming together. Maybe it was the jumping back and forth between timelines. At the end Cole says he is not hunting and killing anymore, but there are at least three more books in this series.

Confusing

I want to keep reading the journey of Reuben Cole. But this one is confusing jumping from one time to another.
