Story
Former Texas Rangers Benton McCaleb, Will Elliot, and Brazos Gifford ride with Charles Goodnight as he rounds up thousands of ornery, unbranded cattle for the long drive to Colorado. From the Trinity River brakes to Denver, they’ll battle endless miles of flooded rivers, parched desert, and whiskey-crazed Comanches. And come face-to-face with Judge Roy Bean and legendary gunslingers like Clay Allison. For McCaleb and his hard-riding crew, the drive is a fierce struggle against the perils of an untamed land. A fight to the finish where the brave reach glory - or die hard.

An outbreak of hostilities with Comanches has disrupted the usual trail routes. But Mase Durst must get his cows from his Texas ranch to the railway up in Wichita, Kansas, or face losing his land, which the bank is fixing to foreclose on. He's forced to take his herd on a little-used route called the Red Trail - little used for good reasons. It’s a tough trek: dangerous, narrow, and fraught with banditry.

Residents and news media still recall a gun-blazing tale of the land-grabbing battles fought by Maddox's and Drew's ancestors. Meanwhile, their present-day descendants face a new kind of war that's every bit as bloody. Sheriff Drew's girlfriend/deputy is shot and seriously wounded in what appears to be a routine traffic stop. When Ashton Maddox's rival rancher's foreman is found murdered and a modern-day vigilante group hires a hard-drinking, publicity-hungry retired Texas Ranger to investigate, Drew and Maddox decide to do what their forefathers did so many years ago: join forces.

Old habits die hard
The Last Manhunt is probably my favorite western tale written. Taking place at the end of the frontier near the dawn of the 20th century, this story is expertly narrated by Tom Stechschulte. Ransom March is a has-been, and he knows it. In his 50s, his glory days are well behind him, and even though dime novels have made him out to be a hero that never existed, he agrees to be interviewed by a young newspaper journalist and stalwart follower of those extraordinary tales of "Ransom March: Prince of the Plains." This journalist is sorely disappointed to learn that Rance is not the gallant gunfighter in his boyhood storybooks. But he also learns that Ransom March was exactly the man needed to tame the frontier, a man as coldblooded and gun handy as the outlaws he pursued. Perfectly written with a touch of psychosis in the villain known as the Gravedigger, this story is hilarious when appropriate, brutal when needed, and paints a picture of the west as it was: violent, unforgiving, and hard to kill.

The Last Manhunt
This is a good western. Lance March is a bounty hunter. Lester Booker is a writer and comes out west to write about March. He's very disappointed. He thinks March is a superhero. He finds out he's just human. He goes with Lance March to hunt the Gravedigger. The Gravedigger is killing everyone and burying them. He burys them alive. Tom Stechschulte does a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.
