Publisher's summary

The baddest men in the West battle for their lives against a relentless band of bloodthirsty prairie rats in Fort Misery—first in an electrifying new Western series from National Bestselling Authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone.

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY.

WHERE THE LAND IS UNTAMED—AND SO ARE THE DESPERADOS.

Captain Peter Joseph Kellerman was once a promising career soldier who’d proven his mettle in battle time and again. Now he’s fighting a battle with a whiskey bottle. He’s also in charge of Fort Benjamin Grierson, located west of hell, deep in Arizona Territory’s Mohawk Valley on the arid edge of the Yuma Desert.

The men under his command aren’t fit to wear the uniform. Killers, thieves, and ravagers condemned to death but who’ve chosen to serve, holding down the hated Fort Misery.

Santiago Lozado, the most wanted bandit on both sides of the border, has set his sights on Fort Misery. He wants vengeance against Kellerman for killing his son and has raised an army of brutal Apache and Comancheros to slaughter every man wearing Union blue—only to encounter a wild bunch of desperate men unafraid of shedding blood and fighting to the death …

Unusual Cavalry Tale…

Quite a variety piece in the Johnstone collection. At the end of nowhere, the story is very unique. As a Western lover I really liked it and look forward to Volume Two.

Characters

I like the new characters. Not the usual stories. I liked the banter. I like the people and their development. Chris Coffey: excellent.

Great new story! I hope there will be more.

Great story. Good character development I enjoyed the first place I like the reader, but sometimes became confused. There needs to be more variation of voice between characters. With that said, still and excellent performance. I hope for more

The mediocrity

This was my absolutely worst Audible purchase. There was no real plot. Instead it reminded me of the TV show Seinfeld except instead of telling a tale about the minutiae of living in NYC, this book was the less-than-entertaining story of a Henry Blake like officer in the west.
