Deadly Road to Yuma

Blood Bond #13

by William W. Johnstone, J.A. Johnstone

A madman and a killer, Preacher Joshua Shade is on a long journey to Yuma Prison and a date with the hangman. But Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves doubt that Shade will ever keep that date. The outlaw has a legion of fanatical, bloodthirsty followers. Matt and Sam are shadowing Shade's convoy - just in case...The blood brothers are dead right - and wrong as hell. When the time comes, Shade is sprung, a beautiful young woman is taken with him, and it's up to Matt and Sam to hunt them to a heavily guarded hideout. But they don't know that the case of Joshua Shade reaches into the highest level of the federal government...Or that they're now facing a deadly trap designed to kill anyone in pursuit - no matter how far you've come, or how fast you draw your gun...

Johnstone does it again

Once again Johnstone does it, by the time you get through the first 2 chapters you are transported back to the old west as an observer, watching another great adventure unfold.

Killing innocent people.

Another great story with Matt and Sam. This story was a little disturbing. When outlaws kill men, women and children with no concern and enjoying it, makes a person wonder what our world is coming to.

[Richard Guerrero · Rating 3 out of 5]

One of my least favorites, lotta action but the storyline just didn’t do it for me. I think maybe my problem is reading this whole series at once. I think I would recommend maybe reading a couple then going to other books then coming back and reading a couple of more.

Not the best work!

There is just something off about the way the story is written. My guess is the AI helped with this story!
I could be wrong, if so then its just a drawn out wordy effort to make a long novel!

Outstanding!

A great story with thrills galore, interesting and spellbinding from start to finish. Good won over evil once again. This is the maestro of the Western genre.

This one was more standard fare, didn't have many 1 liners. Didn't seem to have many gunfights either. Just following the outlaws around and watching them make a plan. It was just ok.

Lots of murder and mayhem.

He writes pretty good.

[Randy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this one. Matt and Sam take a hand, first in defending a small town from an outlaw gang, then in getting the captured leader to Yuma Prison for the hanging.
Well written and I had a small grin at the name of a deputy in the town.

Another good western series by Johnstone. This one follows the adventures of two brothers as they travel the old west. Recommended
