Synopsis

The MacCallister family is legendary in the American frontier. And wherever a MacCallister travels, the legend--and the guns--follow.

When Duff MacCallister journeys to Texas to deliver 100 head of angus cattle, he finds a land on fire. Unruly, lawless teams of fence cutters, branded Blue Devils by the locals, are rampaging across grazing land and cutting fences in the name of an eastern land company. The ranchers are fighting back, and Duff joins the fray. But the fight leads to Austin, and into an even deadlier mission.

The governor's daughter has been kidnapped by Blue Devils. Duff and his partner Elmer are willing to go after her, but they're going to need more men and a lot more firepower. The best the governor can do is three outlaws who once served honorably in war. Now Duff MacCallister is going up again a fanatical, highly trained enemy, riding with gunmen he cannot fully trust. Once the shooting starts, there is no turning back--because Duff and his posse are heading straight into the bloody depths of hell.

This is one of the worst western I've read. The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is it filled some time for an old man. I realize that the author was trying to make it sound authentic but the people and places had such ridicules names that you couldn't help but laugh. I'll never read a......more

If you liked Wild Wild West on TV you will find this an enjoyable read. I wouldn't call it totally western as it has quite a few things in it that I doubt would have really been in the old west however it was a fun read and most of the characters came out as whole--meaning they kept to their values,......more

Goodreads review by Fred on January 14, 2018

Every now and then I like to read a good western. This one had everything: cattle rustlers, cold-hearted gunfighters, a pretty young girl kidnapped, and gunfights in saloons. How could it go wrong?
