Zachariah Truett prowls the roads of Texas, waiting for people to rob and kill. His gang has been terrorizing El Cotas for weeks, and they’re just getting started. But if they can hunt the innocent, then Daniel can stalk the guilty.

He goes after them with nothing but his gun and his courage. They’re all he’s ever needed. When he meets Amelia and learns the brutality she’s suffered at Zachariah’s hands, he knows he can’t leave her behind.
But Zachariah isn’t afraid, and he isn’t going to stop until Daniel pries the gun from his cold, dead hands. Luckily, he’s happy to happy to oblige.
Can Daniel end this game of cat and mouse end before anyone else gets hurt?

[Paul Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the characters in this story, as they were realistic and had the grit one looks for in a frontier tale. The antagonists were a bit larger than life, seeming to self-propagate during attacks and get away with a lot more terror than we know to be real in Texas. No Ranger or outside law enforcement involvement to reign in so many organized outlaws puts the story out there a bit. I still enjoyed the plot lines and the sand the women possessed. No Apaches make an appearance (despite their adeptness at blending into the landscape). One hero Mexican, who I wish could have stuck around a bit longer. Good read, nonetheless. PKB

After Daniel Boyd's mother was murdered, his sister, Lily, sent him a letter to come home. Zechariah Truett and his gang of outlaws has a reign of terror that has been ongoing for sometime. This time Truitt is angry because one of his men was killed in a card game gone bad and decided that the whole town of El Codas must pay. The showdown between the citizens of El Codas , Daniel and Truitt and his vile and dangerous gang is a non stop, bullets flying, fast moving adventure. Good read.

5 STARS, A GANG USES TERROR & VIOLENCE

5 STARS for this page turning fast paced action packed storyline from the Book 1 in this wonderful series. Great characters that seemed alive. It is definitely a shoot-em-up with all the other western trimmings.

I could not put this book down, this book's words just flowed delightfully.

RECOMMEND

A very exciting story of the West.

The author has written a story of one man’s and a small town’s fight against a band of outlaws for control and peace. A story of a great deal of violence and bloodshed.

Good

I enjoyed and really well written and full of action. Kept you reading. I will not say anything about the ending. Just read it

I loved the story but there are no saguaros in Texas. They are only in Arizona. I’m on the second book and I find the same error. Texas does have cactus however not saguaros.

Darn good read

Mr. Leonard wrote a well laid out and entertaining tale for us.
It could use some editing for punctuation and grammar but it's not too bad to enjoy!

Great Read

An easy read; and a hard story to forget. Fast and furious with enough detail to keep one's interest. I enjoyed the book.

[Lion · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good western book! Cowboys, outlaws pretty much all I want in a book.
I usually read first person books but this one was well written in third person. I’d reccomend this to my friends

Read about a take charge guy

From the moment Boyd arrived home he gets tangled up in clearing the enemy of his home town. Daniel Boyd just plain takes care of business...

[Luthur · Rating 3 out of 5]

pretty good

Not as descriptive as others, still an interesting read and informative. Leonard is an excellent gatherer of facts. Daniel Boyd was the luckiest man in the West
