Synopsis

"Dusty takes readers into the real west at full gallop." -New York Times bestselling author Jodi Thomas Western Heritage and Spur award-winning author Dusty Richards tells the thrilling saga of Chet Byrnes, a man who brought the spirit of Texas into Arizona Territory-and the guns to back it up. Have Gun, Will Battle Chet Byrnes has built a ranching empire from the ground up. And he's defended it with his sweat, blood and a ragtag band of ranch-hand fighters. Now a beautiful young Spanish widow comes into Chet's life, just as he starts off in search of a lost cattle drive. The search leads into the eye of a sprawling, violent storm. Chet, and his men-and his seductive new woman-end up on a wild ride through Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas, where authorities want to confiscate the beeves for trespassing. With Indians, outlaws and an oppressive government crossing their path, Chet is on a cowboy's honeymoon: fighting and shooting all the way back home. "Dusty Richards writes.with the flavor of the real West." -Elmer Kelton

Goodreads review by Lynn on October 14, 2022

Chet is a wonderful man! I've read all books the this series so far and Chet is a man's man in the strongest sense of the words. His character keeps this series going supported by his close family relationships and his sense of responsibility to others in need.......more

Goodreads review by Richard on October 26, 2022

I did enjoy it, but probably my least favorite. For me, it was just a little too quick and too much on how Burns met his new wife. Another thing, the author does fill in a lot of pages by repeating the same thing over and over. In saying that, I still do enjoy these western books.......more
