Erik Storey

Story of a man who seeks refuge from the rest of the world in order to make peace with his past only to end up in a conflict with drug cartel that abducted his sister.

Clyde Barr is rather melancholic person that tries to redeem himself from his past. He tries to live outside the society, wandering through the wilderness and living his own life in peace. But he has an Achilles heel of sorts - he is prompted to action whenever he sees injustice and oppression, he moves in to help whomever is in distress and this just gets him into deeper problems and conflicts. He goes through everything without a second thought on his well-being, he sees it as a purgatory that he has to walk through to achieve redemption. Literary his word is his bond and when he promises something he will not stray until promise is fulfilled.

This is a fast read, with lots of interesting characters, relationships and lots of action.

Highly recommended to all thriller and action fans.

I devoured this book! It’s full of action and suspense as Clyde Barr embarks on his next, unexpected, adventure. A Promise to Kill is the second book in the Clyde Barr series by Erik Storey. Clyde Barr sets off into the mountains intending to decompress from his most recent life threatening experience where he battled drug manufacturers and runners. He crosses paths with an older man, a Ute Indian, who is quite ill and need of immediate medical attention. This encounter introduces Clyde to the man’s daughter and grandson. The family operates a ranch that Clyde volunteers to work on while the patriarch is in the hospital.

In the meantime, Clyde encounters a nasty motorcycle gang...

Such a cool title. In, Nothing Short of Dying, author Erik Storey introduced me to Clyde Barr; a man with a dark and rugged background. His solitary lifestyle has consisted of being a hunter and adventurer in some pretty challenging locations on the globe. Barr returns to his hometown in Colorado following an unjust incarceration. He intends to return to the wilderness for some peace as two of his older sisters are unwilling to welcome him back into their lives. Surprisingly, Barr gets a desperate phone call from his youngest of three older sisters.

Nothing Short of Dying is a suspenseful story, involving drug kingpins, outlaws, and a sociopath. When Barr promises his sister he will rescue her, he means he will do so in a manner of nothing short of dying. He is up against a major kingpin and his security. He enlists the help of outlaws he befriended years ago by calling in significant favors that put his friends’ lives at risk. Barr reaches out to a former inmate he served time with in hopes he will uphold their previous code.

While there is a lot of edge to this story, there is also tenderness buried deep underneath the surface. A lot of old wounds that have not healed, but show promise for the future. Barr also has a knack for helping people. He pretty much can’t say no...
