Western Heritage- and Western Writers of America Spur Award-winning
author Dusty Richards unleashes the epic beginning to the O'Malley
family saga, a new western classic set in the lawless sprawl of an
unforgettable Texas . . .
As Civil War bloodies the nation's ground, Texas Rangers Harp and Long
John O'Malley patrol a vast, unguarded range, picking off the brutal
Comanche while protecting the families of soldiers off fighting at the
front.
Bullet by bullet the O'Malleys distinguish themselves as two of the
bravest gunfighters to ever wear the Ranger's star. At war's end, the
Rangers are disbanded, but Harp and Long John are not through fighting
yet. They sign on with a cattle drive that will take them across the
most treacherous and deadly stretch of the American frontier: the long
trail from Texas to Sedalia. Beset by ruthless enemies inside and
outside the camp, Harp and Long John aim dead straight for the
future--where a great ranching fortune awaits back in a Texas they will
change forever.
