Levon Cade #10
Levon's Range: A Vigilante Justice Thriller
Chuck Dixon delivers the eleventh book in his dark and suspense-filled series—Levon Cade. Levon Cade and his daughters are on the run and living under assumed names in a remote corner of Idaho where Levon has taken on the role of gentlemen rancher. But when someone rustles his girls’ favorite horses, Levon puts aside his gentlemanly ways in exchange for hunting them down. Too bad Lew Dollinger, a man Levon unwisely allowed to live, is—at the same time—tasked with locating the runaway Cades by an international crime cartel. As the past closes in on Levon, he’ll have to decide if he’s run out of places to hide.

About the author
Chuck Dixon
3,436 books1,040 followersCharles "Chuck" Dixon is an American comic book writer, perhaps best-known for long runs on Batman titles in the 1990s.
His earliest comics work was writing Evangeline first for Comico Comics in 1984 (then later for First Comics, who published the on-going series), on which he worked with his then-wife, the artist Judith Hunt. His big break came one year later, when editor Larry Hama hired him to write back-up stories for Marvel Comics' The Savage Sword of Conan.
In 1986, he began working for Eclipse Comics, writing Airboy with artist Tim Truman. Continuing to write for both Marvel and (mainly) Eclipse on these titles, as well as launching Strike! with artist Tom Lyle in August 1987 and Valkyrie with artist Paul Gulacy in October 1987, he began work on Carl Potts' Alien Legion series for Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, under editor Archie Goodwin. He also produced a three-issue adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for Eclipse with artist David Wenzel between 1989 and 1990, and began writing Marc Spector: Moon Knight in June 1989.
His Punisher OGN Kingdom Gone (August, 1990) led to him working on the monthly The Punisher War Journal (and later, more monthly and occasional Punisher titles), and also brought him to the attention of DC Comics editor Denny O'Neil, who asked him to produce a Robin mini-series. The mini proved popular enough to spawn two sequels - The Joker's Wild (1991) and Cry of the Huntress (1992) - which led to both an ongoing monthly series (which Dixon wrote for 100 issues before leaving to work with CrossGen Comics), and to Dixon working on Detective Comics from #644-738 through the major Batman stories KnightFall & KnightsEnd (for which he helped create the key character of Bane), DC One Million , Contagion , Legacy , Cataclysm and No Man's Land . Much of his run was illustrated by Graham Nolan.
He was DC's most prolific Batman-writer in the mid-1990s (rivalled perhaps in history by Bill Finger and Dennis O'Neil) - in addition to writing Detective Comics he pioneered the individual series for Robin , Nightwing (which he wrote for 70 issues, and returned to briefly with 2005's #101) and Batgirl , as well as creating the team and book Birds of Prey .
While writing multiple Punisher and Batman comics (and October 1994's Punisher/Batman crossover), he also found time to launch Team 7 for Jim Lee's WildStorm/Image and Prophet for Rob Liefeld's Extreme Studios. He also wrote many issues of Catwoman and Green Arrow , regularly having about seven titles out each and every month between the years 1993 and 1998.
In March, 2002, Dixon turned his attention to CrossGen's output, salthough he co-wrote with Scott Beatty the origin of Barbara Gordon's Batgirl in 2003's Batgirl: Year One. For CrossGen he took over some of the comics of the out-going Mark Waid, taking over Sigil from #21, and Crux with #13. He launched Way of the Rat in June 2002, Brath (March '03), The Silken Ghost (June '03) and the pirate comic El Cazador (Oct '03), as well as editing Robert Rodi's non-Sigilverse The Crossovers. He also wrote the Ruse spin-off Archard's Agents one-shots in January and November '03 and April '04, the last released shortly before CrossGen's complete collapse forced the cancellation of all of its comics, before which Dixon wrote a single issue of Sojourn (May '04). Dixon's Way of the Rat #24, Brath #14 and El Cazador #6 were among the last comics released from the then-bankrupt publisher.
On June 10, 2008, Dixon announced on his forum that he was no longer "employed by DC Comics in any capacity."

Last book, Levon ran out of Alabama, taking his family, and a whole lot of money and guns with him.
Winding up in Idaho, he's minding his own business. Then somebody steals his horses...
Meanwhile, the guy who hunted Levon down, is back looking for him at the behest of a deadly little man.
Readable as always, but not as great as some of the earlier stuff.

Don’t fuck with the Cade girls or their horses.
Will we eventually get the Merry Cade vigilante series with Hope as the woman in the chair? I certainly hope so.

Hey there, my friends, Wow, wow, wow! What a thrill ride! I just finished reading Levon's Range!
This book is the eleventh book in the Levon Cade by Chuck Dixon, and I can't stop raving about it. Levon's Range has everything you want from a Levon Cade adventure: action, suspense, twists, and heart. Levon Cade is a former soldier and a vigilante who can't stand injustice. He has a big heart and family: his daughters Hope and Mary, his uncle Fern, and his new friend Wes. They have been on the run from the evil forces that want them dead ever since Levon exposed a child trafficking ring in a previous book.
In this book, they settle in Idaho, hoping to find some peace and quiet on a small ranch. But trouble follows them everywhere. When their horses are stolen, Levon and his new ranch hand, Ray, take out after them. Then, a man Levon had let live shows up and warns him that more killers are coming; Levon has to make some hard choices that go against his grain. As in Chuck's other books, this one is full of action, suspense, and twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Chuck Dixon is a master storyteller who knows how to create those compelling characters and gripping plots. He also knows how to inject humor and emotion into his stories, making them more than just mindless violence. I love how he portrays Levon's family and their bond, as well as Levon's moral code and his struggle to do the right thing.
You will love this book if you are a fan of the series, and if you haven't started the series yet, what are you waiting for? You are missing out on one of the best action thrillers out there. Trust me, once you start reading Levon Cade, you won't be able to put it down. I can't wait for the next book in the series which will be out February 6th. Chuck Dixon, you are awesome!

The latest book in the series finds Levon in a new place, buying a ranch to live on. He plans on running a few cattle and having range for horses, having fled from his old Alabama home after the last book. He runs into some local problems involving horses being stolen, and an old threat rises its head trying to track him down.
This one felt a bit smaller than the others, with a more minor story and shorter resolution but its setting up a bigger more significant conflict in the next book. Merry and Hope get themselves into what felt like pointless trouble but a new interesting native American character is introduced, and possibly a love interest for Merry.

Another great outing with Levon Cade
Following the events of the last book, Levon Cade has moved his family to the hinterlands of Idaho, where he has started a small horse farm. Of course, being Levon, trouble soon follows. If you liked the previous books in the series, you'll enjoy this one. My only regret is that it seems a bit short, but that may be because I read it in a couple of sittings.

Levon's Range is a direct continuation from Levon's Prey. It's a bit on the slight side as well, as it sets up events leading into Levon's Scrouge, the final book in the series (at least, for now). It's a great read, but it does leaving you wanting more, although I think Dixon does this on purpose. This is such a fun series, ranking up there with Reacher and Reese in my opinion. Very much looking forward to the Scrouge.

Considering recent activities, Levon and his family pack up and move to Idaho. The Alabama property is raided by the Feds and it doesn't help any that they uncover dead bodies. His get out of jail free card has been revoked so now the law is after him as well as other assorted enemies. This includes Lew Dollinger who has vowed to kill Levon and his family and has been offered a fortune to do so.

Cade and family relocate to Idaho to hide from the child traffickers that he has hunted for the past two books. Cade becomes a gentleman rancher and hires a cowboy to help him with it, when his horses are stolen. The reasons are interesting , unfortunately the chase isn't that intriguing. The solution is just okay. But we get a nice teaser at the end that sets up the next installment.

Levon is one bad MF'er
I have read the whole series, some several times. Well worth time!
Not sure how you came up with Levon for a lead character, but you did very good. Great series, a lot of fun reading. Thank you Mr Dixon.
PS. Get back to writing, WANT MORE

Another good addition to an excellent series. Dixon is also widening his cast of characters with two (what seem permanent) new members of the expanding group. I hope they settle in Idaho and we are treated to more new stories such as this one about rustlers.
