Synopsis

Colonel Utah Blaine, held captive by the Army of the Revolution, broke out of jail and headed north from Mexico with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then he found new trouble struggling at the end of a noose–and stepped in just in time to save the life of a Texas rancher. The would-be executioners were the rancher’s own men, looking to steal his land.

Now Utah has a unique proposition: Have the wealthy Texan play dead, introduce himself as the spread’s new foreman, and take care of the outlaws one by one. The wage to fight another man’s war? A hundred a month plus expenses. The cost of falling in love while he earns that wage? It wasn’t exactly part of the original agreement, but Utah will soon find out–unless the bad guys get to him first.

Utah Blaine is a kind of Rambo figure: A lone macho with intuitive insight into human psychology and wide knowledge of his environment outwitting a bunch of land-grabbers as he basically carries on guerrilla warfare against them -- Old West style. Fistfights, gunfights, showdowns in saloons, swoonin......more

Goodreads review by *Stani* on August 28, 2019

Utah Blaine starts right in the middle of the action - as Utah Blaine saves a large cattle ranch owner from being hanged. The story doesn’t slow down for a second from this point on - it picks it up a couple of notches every few pages. Utah Blaine is an expert gunslinger who is set to manage and prote......more
