HTML: In this riveting historical western for fans of William Johnstone and Ralph Compton, feared gunslinger Caleb Marlowe is out to save his partner by taking on: A dangerous enemy, long thought to be dead A greedy, railroad-obsessed power broker who's above the law A jealous neighbor looking for paybackFor years, Caleb Marlowe has been following a hard trail. But fate finally seems to be smiling on him. The ranch he and his partner have been building is ready for a herd of longhorns, and a ghost from his troubled past is about to dance at the end of hangman's rope. With winter descending on the Colorado boom town of Elkhorn, Caleb's future looks bright. But in the Wild West, a man's fortune can turn with the speed of a mountain storm. When his partner is jailed for murder, his herd taken by rustlers, and his ranch nearly destroyed, Marlowe knows someone is trying to run him off. His nemesis, Elijah Starr, has been pardoned and hired by Judge Patterson—the local power broker—to build a railroad, and they are two men who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Marlowe stands alone against a gang of hired killers. The stakes could not be higher, and the cards are stacked against him. A final shootout is coming, but in Elkhorn no one—especially Caleb Marlowe—goes down without a fight. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Caleb Marlowe 3
Caleb’s friend and ranching partner, Henry Jordan, races into chapter one carrying news that requires immediate attention quickly setting the stage for upcoming events that will impact the two of them, their friends, and their future depending on the outcome of the story. Old and new issues and enemies rear their heads with surprises, twists, turns, and hardship to face before the last page. Great addition to the series!
What I liked:
* Caleb: left abusive home at sixteen, survived on his own, met someone who changed his life, varied job history, tracker, sure-shot, quick-draw, fights for what is right, true friend, helps those in need, building a new life on his ranch, sweet on Sheila
* Henry: good friend, ladies’ man, trouble-magnet, eloquent, tease, nice guy, has potential, eager to find out what will happen next in his life
* Sheila: Doc Burnett’s daughter, raised on the East Coast, educated, adapting to the West, strong, adaptable, friend to many, openminded, sweet on Caleb
* Paddy: orphan living with the Rogers family hoping to be taken in by Caleb
* Bear (big dog) and Pirate (horse): Caleb’s friends that are more than animals
* Doc Burnett: educated, wise, helps all, war surgeon, would like for him to find someone someday, too
* Curious about Belle Constant – owner of saloon and associated businesses…think there is more to her and her story than we might realize
* Red Annie O’Neal: independent, wears men’s clothing, Sheila’s friend, carries the mail, travels a lot, strong, capable, intriguing – hope to see more of her in the futur
* Bass, Duke, and Tex: longhorn trail herders that met hard times, good men, honest, hope they show up in the next book
* The plot, character development, pacing, and writing
* That most of the bad guys were dealt with…though there are a few remaining and no doubt other troubles to be faced in the next book
* The positive hopeful ending and hoping that Karma hits a few more for what they have been up to
What I didn’t like:
* Who and what I was meant not to like…some rather reprehensible characters and acts perpetrated by them
* Having to wait for the next book in the series
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely
Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC – This is my honest review.
