Publisher's summary

From acclaimed author Sean Lynch comes the epic saga of Samuel Pritchard, a young man coming of age in the Civil War, riding tall with the Texas Rangers, and becoming one of the greatest gunfighters of his time...

The Legend Begins

In 1863, a teenaged boy fled his home in Atherton, Missouri, to escape the power-hungry men who murdered his father and stole his family’s land. He joined the Confederacy under an assumed name and led guerilla raids in the Civil War. Then came a decade as a Texas Ranger. Now, after ten blood-soaked years, he is finally coming home. Finally using his real name. And finally getting revenge against the cold-hearted devils who destroyed his family and his life...

This is the story of Samuel Pritchard. Now a small town sheriff with a long history of violence, a deep sense of honor, and wild streak of justice as dangerous as the guns that made him famous...

I wish the entire series were on Audible

it looks like there are four books in this series but only the first two are available as audiobooks. I hope Brilliance audio is planning on doing the other two. I thought it was an enjoyable and easy read even though Prichard seemed a little bit barbaric at times.

Good, not great

The story was good if you like westerns, but was very predictable and unexciting. The narrator’s voice didn’t help bring the story to life either

Not a great western classic

Story was ruined by presentism or in other words not period western culture. The death rattle was over played and corny. Overloaded with violence and some gratuitous sex thrown in to help sell books I guess.
