Synopsis

Young Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves. One is a rancher's son. The other a Half Breed outcast. To kill one you'd have to kill them both. And that would take an army—and a whole lot of luck...

Heading west to San Diego some honest pilgrims paid ten men good money to keep their wagon train safe. Soon word comes to Tombstone, where Matt Bodine and Sam Two Wolves are wearing out their welcome gambling with Wyatt Earp. The wagon train's guards turned against their charges and headed off to Mexico with six young pioneer girls captive. Everyone knows the tortures of the damned that await the girls in the hellholes south of the border. But only Matt and Sam will do something about it.

But it's going to take more than their bravery and shooting skills to rescue those girls from the merciless white slavers. On the way to Mexico Matt and Sam ride into a war party of Apaches. They'll be facing outlaws and furious Apaches at the same time. For two blood brothers, the idea is to rescue those girls and blast their way North to freedom—no matter how many bullets it takes, or how many guns are shooting back...

Very disappointing novel. I've been a fan of Johnstone's work for a long time. I continued to enjoy the "ghost writers" employed after his death a few years back. The BLOOD BOND series was a particular favorite. I knew which writer did the books because I recognized his style from reading so many of......more

Not one of Johnstone's finest books. It has an effective and interesting premise, and the lead up to the final conflict is engaging, but the final battle felt a bit too implausible, with hundreds of bullets flying about hitting only minor characters or inflicting minor wounds on big names, while ign......more

I just completed this series from start to finish. They are two of my favorite characters in these western books. I did not know if these are transcripts from the lake author or a new writer. This was not the same characters that they started with 16 books ago, it started when they were 25 and 16 bo......more
