Synopsis

Crispin Mayo was a reckless young brawler who’d left his tiny fishing village for the vast American frontier. Headed west to join a railroad construction crew, he came upon an isolated station—and a mystery. The shack was abandoned, but fresh blood spattered the floor, and the telegraph was clicking away unattended. When Mayo stepped inside and put a hand on the telegraph key, he had no way of knowing the course of his life would change forever—and that he would become entangled with a band of Civil War veterans with a score to settle against the government…and a feisty young woman who’d risk anything to save the people she loved. Cris Mayo, who had never backed away from a fight in his life, was about to have his courage put to the ultimate test.

Goodreads review by Stephanie

This is the second Louis L’Amour book I’ve read and it did not disappoint. (It did take me time to become accustomed to the audiobook. The reason being not because it was bad, but because I have only ever heard Jonathan Davis narrate Star Wars books.)......more
