CARSTON'S LAW (EXRANGERS 9)

Jim Miller

Filled with non-stop action, this addition to Jim Miller's sharp-shooting Western series takes readers on a ride with Marshal Will Carston as he arrives in Curious, Texas to apprehend a notorious horse thief, only to wonder if he still has what it takes to look a killer right in the eye...and stay alive.

Marshal Will Carston has set out on the ride from Twin Rifles to the aptly named town of Curious, Texas, to apprehend horse thief Kyle Garret.

But when a man with a long memory starts stirring up trouble at the Twin Rifles boarding house and two unwanted companions burden Carston's journey, he knows he is out on a limb and faced with a daunting task.

Accompanied by brash, nineteen-year-old gambler, Bill Hardy and a worn-out buffalo hunter named Buckskin, ex-Ranger Carston must face gunshots, traitors, and traps on his mission to catch Garret.

On the merciless frontier, a man and his sons were Texas Rangers--until the Civil War marked the end of their famed rough-riding legion. Now in a land of violence and brutality, scarred by war and uneasy peace, the Carstons face off against rustlers and Comancheros, tame lawless towns, and uphold the Ranger code in the Ex-Rangers series by Jim Miller.

Notă biografică

Jim Miller is a retired military and later civilian pilot. He was once the Director of Operations for the Presidential Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base. He's traveled to every continent except Antarctica and has lived in Austria, Germany, Japan, Thailand, and over a dozen American cities. Along the way, he's been a student of the people and places and their stories. Now, he is the author of more than a dozen novels of overlapping genres. His historical military fiction novels include Heavy Jets, Vienna, Counter Intelligence, One Last Mission, Stealing Ho Chi Minh's Gold, and Once Upon a Time There Was a War, all derived from personal experience and associations. The more whimsical Terror on the Tundra, Terror in Appalachia, and Terror in the Smokies are just fun looks at what might happen if a pack of giant prehistoric wolves evolved in polar isolation find themselves adrift on an iceberg to begin a southern migration that brings them into conflict with humans. It's often told from the wolves' point of view. And then there are Werewolves Don't Cry and The Old Man and the Werewolf. You can sum up his entire library very simply by realizing that, just because it's life or death, you don't have to take it too seriously. Just enjoy reading.
