JOHNSTONE COUNTRY

No one knows better than the American masters of epic Western fiction that forging a new life on the frontier takes hope, drive, and plenty of ammunition.

The war is over. But a new battle is on the horizon.

It’s 1852. The wounds of the Mexican War are healing. Regis Royle, co-owner of a steamship fleet, has made it out alive, relatively unscarred and with enough profit and foolhardy ambition to envision a new life in south Texas. With the help of his crack-shot kid brother Shepley, his glad-handing riverboat partner Cormac Delany, and his old friend, raw-edged former Texas Ranger Jarvis “Bone” McGraw, Regis is laying claim to the prime jewel in a magnificent rolling prairie: the Santa Calina range teeming with wild mustangs, cattle, and eighteen-thousand acres of lush promise.

But all dreams have a price. For Regis, it’s hell to pay—and the fire is coming at him from all directions. On one side of the border, it’s banditos and a vengeful Mexican heiress with a passionate hatred for greenhorn gringos. Especially those who have their eye on land once owned by her family. On the other side, the Apaches, slave traders, and outlaws have Santa Calina in their sights. And none of them are going to walk away from the bloody battle.

The brothers Royle and their partners have the most to lose—including their lives. They made a pledge to themselves to build the greatest ranch in America. To see it through to the end, they’ll have to ride hard and learn the bitter necessity of violence and bloodshed.

Forever Texas

This is a book about friends making a dream come true. They are building a large ranch. Bones, Regis and the kid brother Shepley. I don't like Shepley, he's spoiled. They run into all kinds of problems. Other people wants the land as much as they do. And they'll kill for it. This is a pretty long book almost 13 hours, I think it could have been half that and been just as good. John Little does a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

Not your W. W. John stone book. Hard to finish.

Not a good read for me. I found it hard to follow with so many social encounters and events that were not the traditional Johnstone. Very little action.

Lot’s of telling

How did this get published!? This was written by a very inexperienced writer with no training. It’s a shame to put W. Johnstone’s name on the cover.

Bad

While I have over 200 books in my audible library, a number by this author which I enjoyed, this the very worst I have purchased on audible. I could not recommend it to anyone.
