This is the Western series that drives readers to keep reading—because Marshal Timber and Jedidiah Justice are always one shot away from being killed. "Gundown East of Laramie” will prove to be an exciting ride—are you ready to face those who break the law with Marshal Timber?

A notoriously evil gang of killers, the McCullough Six, have murdered a ranch owner and one of his hands in cold blood. Rumor is they are returning to finish off the wife and daughter, who were out of town at the time of the murders. There is no rhyme or reason as to why Sean Breen and Owen Waites were killed, but a surviving hand, who had been shot and left for dead, is determined to avenge his employer and friend and bring them justice, literally. He calls in Jedidiah Justice, a friend of Sean Breen's, to track down the killers. In a chance meeting with Marshal Timber, the pair set out to find the gang. Two lawmen against six murderous thugs-- who will win?

Timber, Justice and his son Reed, have there hands full with some Rebels from the Civil War, who are very calloused from their loss! This bunch of murderous outlaws have no qualms about killing to get what they wanted especially if they are compensated for their misdeeds!
As always, when you have Timber and Justice involved you will find nothing but five stars for fulfilling their commanding assignments. This is one of their more descriptive renditions of how they operate so well together and Justice has his son, Reed, traveling along with them, which definitely enhances their capabilities! Strong camaraderie among these three, especially when they pick up a young cowboy, Deke Tucker, who plays an important role in their attempt to bring justice to those responsible for their ongoing misdeeds! As always, Mr. Hanlon/Mr. Nash continuously fills the bill with outstanding descriptive storylines successfully portrays compassion and dedication to bring justice to those responsible for their wrongful misdeeds, and their selection of characters could not have been any better portrayed throughout this compelling western masterpiece! Great job by two great storytellers! Definitely recommend this compassionate storytelling masterpiece to all readers, but especially to you western folklore addicted fanatics, as I am also! Only wish this compassionately motivated story could have another hundred or so pages longer. Even you non-western enthusiasts will find it difficult to put the descriptive rendition of realistic old American western folklore adventures aside until the final paragraph has been read! Please, follow Timber, Justice and crew as they pull no punches in bringing justice to those responsible for their wrongful misdeeds!!!😃
There is nothing more that I haven't already said before about this marvelous series. Each book is a new chapter in Jake Timbers life and the action just keeps on rolling. Looking forward to book 18.
Is Jake Timber a bounty hunter, US Marshall, or sheriff? I can’t keep up with the changes. One thing that never changes is he the fastest draw, best tracker, and he always captures the outlaws or . . . shoots them dead.
I’m a huge fan of the Jake Timber series and gave most of the previous volumes a 5, with only a few receiving a 4. I have also some of the Jedidiah Justice books and stopped after the third book.
With this book you could tell which author wrote which sections. For example, early on there was a lack of / misuse of paragraph breaks (Casey Nash). Ditto for unnecessary descriptions, names alternating between first and last, and a rushed ending. Also, there was confusion in the names early on, including the ranch. It wasn’t explained for several chapters. That’s not the bait I’m looking for in a story.
Timber had a minor role and frankly there was too much story that didn’t involve the two main characters. Frankly, I hope Timber returns and is told solely by Robert Hanlon.
