Synopsis

"Duff MacCallister left Scotland to forge a new life in America, raising cattle on the western plains of the growing nation. But keeping his dream alive means facing off against the country’s most violent, bloodthirsty men.
The Spencer family is part of a wagon train passing through Chugwater, Wyoming, bound for the valley of Longshot Basin. Unfortunately, the trail that leads there has been buried under an avalanche. The only route the homesteaders can take is the infamous Nightmare Trail—a treacherous, terrifyingly steep and narrow mountainside path that has claimed many lives.
If that wasn’t dangerous enough, the trail is also a killing ground for the outlaw Hardcastle gang. The disreputable Arkansas Ozark clan don’t take kindly to anyone trespassing on their road without paying—in blood.
Duff MacCallister is not about to let the Spencers ride the Nightmare Trail without his guidance. He knows the terrain. He knows how to defend himself. And he knows that when it comes to badmen like the Hardcastles, the best defense is killing first—and fast.

Riding the Nightmare (reference to a deadly pass) is truly nightmarish terrain to cross, complicated by an outlaw nightmarish family clan (the Hardcastles) who claim it as their property, guard it, and deny entry on or through it to anyone. Strong female characters sets this western apart with a mix......more

Goodreads review by Kevin on July 23, 2022

Riding the Nightmare by J.A.Johnstone (William W.Johnston's literary heir) is the 12th book in the Duff MacCallister western series. It isn't really necessary to have read the other books in the series as they are all pretty self contained and give a recap or an overview. "Duff MacCallister left Scot......more

Goodreads review by Abibliofob on August 10, 2022

Duff MacCallister is back in Riding the Nightmare by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. Even though I love westerns not all are great, this series has been good so far but this book is not up to it's usual standard. The story was good and there are some great new twists and we get the usual gu......more

Goodreads review by Denice on April 07, 2023

There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on October 27, 2022

Duff MacCallister is one of my favorite characters. He may be sweet and kind but don't let that fool you, Duff MacCallister can take care of himself and those around him. Immigrating from Scotland to America after some trouble, he settles in Wyoming to start cattle ranching. Overcoming many an outla......more
