You'll like it, I promise!
What's it about? I'm glad you asked:
In the post-Civil War West, the railroads are expanding, the big money men are moving in, and the politicians they are buying make it difficult for a man to stand alone on his own. So, Walt Ames moves his wife, his home and his business from Denver to Pueblo. The railroads are bringing new opportunities to Colorado Territory, and he's going to take full advantage of them.
Ambushed on their way south, Walt and his men uncover a web of corruption and crime to rival anything in the big city. And rough justice, Western-style, sparks a private war between Walt and some of the most dangerous killers he's ever encountered, a deadly war in which neither friends nor family are spared.
Across the mountains and valleys of the southern Rocky Mountains, Walt and his men hunt for the ruthless man at the center of the web. Retribution won't be long delayed... and it cannot be denied.

I like it when you recommend books. You have pointed me at some good ones.
Thank you, Marianne. By the way, you should get the first volume, too. It's called "Brings the Lightning".
I read a tease Peter posted a few weeks ago, liked it so much I bought the first book,(had only read his Maxwell series before which I also liked), and liked it so much I have been checking Amazon to see when this second one came out. Bought it last night. I'm not done yet (that whole work thing really messes with my reading schedule, ya know how that goes:) but I'm about half done and I want to know when the 3rd one is coming out!!
His style reminds me a lot of Zane Gray and Louis Lamour, both of whom I love.
I agree with every word, Suz. Thanks.
