Fury on the Far Horizon

A Hawke & Carmody Western Short Story, Book 3

By: Carl Dane

Narrated by: Philip Benoit

Marshal Josiah Hawke’s past comes back to haunt him when he unexpectedly meets a beautiful performer in a traveling show - a woman who was once a spy and had tried to kill him. With her is a man Hawke suspects was the infamous commandant of a Confederate prison camp who escaped from Hawke during the closing days of the Civil War.

To complicate matters, Hawke must explain to his deputy, Tom Carmody, and his girlfriend, Elmira Adler, an intensely dark and deadly aspect of his Civil War service that he had kept quiet about - under orders - for more than a decade.

As Hawke grapples with the problem of what to do with the man he suspects of being a war criminal, a shooting in Elmira’s bar sparks retaliation from a violent gang of rustlers.

And as the two threads of the story unfold throughout a violent day and night, Hawke and Carmody resolve both problems at once with a startling - and bizarre - plan of action.

Fury on the Far Horizon combines original and unexpected plot twists with non-stop western action and occasional laugh-out-loud humor.

Fury is best-selling western author Carl Dane’s latest short story in a series of novels that noted action/adventure narrator Philip Benoit calls “the best buddy series since Robert B. Parker’s Cole and Hitch”.
