Story
After the Civil War, two young Texas Rangers are fighting a different war along the frontier of West Texas. Apaches from Mexico raid up across the Rio Grande into Texas attacking homesteaders and settlers. The savages steal, rape, and murder farmers, ranchers, merchants and their families. All that stands between the onslaught of savage attacks and a peaceful life are the Rangers.

It's been two years since he left to join the Pinkerstons, and now there's a group of bloodthirsty cowboys who think they own the town. When the ruthless desperados shoot down a helpless, feeble-minded friend of Jody Harmon, it's the last straw. Something's gotta be done.

Maybe it was a moment of insanity. Maybe it was revenge. Or maybe the Metis Indian, Shambeau, finally had enough of the white man's hatred. Whatever it was, Sheriff Ben Stillman now has a murder case on his hands - and, as the law dictates, he must hunt down and hang the outlaw. But nobody knows the land better than Shambeau. He could be anywhere. Then again...nobody can track a bloodthirsty killer like Sheriff Ben Stillman. And there's no hiding from his swift brand of justice.

Story
The scheduled train from Granger was overdue by three hours. He’d suspected a mechanical breakdown or maybe even a derailment. But the engineer of the next train to use that track had just reported that he hadn’t found any signs of the train. He had no idea how an entire train could simply vanish, but as he pondered the mystery, the head telegrapher came to his office and showed him a telegram that had been sent to Union Pacific headquarters. It was a ransom demand for $100,000.

A western with a twist

Publisher's Summary
Texas never had a law against being stupid. Young Trace LaFon counted that a good thing or he'd never have lived long enough to become a Texas Ranger or partnered up with Xavier Falcon. But the two become a part of history the very first time the Rangers were ever used as an arm of law enforcement in the Lone Star state.
Guns Along the Rio is the first of this pair's adventures as both they and the Rangers grow up on the Texas Frontier gaining experience and wisdom mixed with a lot of cowboy common sense and humor. As any cowpoke knows, good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.
Colorful and historical characters make up this tale based on The Cortina War along the Rio Grande in 1859.

Ben Tyler delivered a well accented sound picture with exceptional character delineation. I will look for more by Jack R. Stanley. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Witty Smart Writing
The publisher summary uses the word "colorful" to describe the characters. I can think of no better word for the characters and storyline. Much if not all of the story is set in or around Brownsville Texas. (See what I did there?)
From an innocent youth to a more experienced adult, I could not help but fall in love with main character Trace LaFon.
With lines like, "There are two theories in how to deal with women and neither of them works." I fell in love with Jack R. Stanley!
Full of smart and clever lines along with three-dimensional characters and unbelievable situations (unbelievable as in 'you can't make this stuff up') this book kept me engaged from the start.
Ben Tyler brought the characters to life; above average performance.
This is the first in the series titles "The Texas Ranger Chronicles." If given an opportunity, I would not hesitate to listen to more in the series. However, Book 1 is the only one available on audio at this date (2017.)

Enjoyable
I got this book via audiobook boom. I loved this western. it was a quick listen and the narrator matched the story. I loved all of it but the last line made me laugh out loud. It is well worth listening to even if it is to get to the last line. There were many other one liners that were good but that one was the best.
