Publisher's summary

Descended from a long line of fighters, lovers, and dreamers, the MacCallister clan are legends in their homeland of Scotland. But when Duff MacCallister came to America, it seems he brought the legend - and the war - along with him....

Here in America, life is full of surprises. Duff never expected to hear from his old friend Charles McGregor, his battalion commander from the Black Watch Regiment of Her Majesty's army. Turns out McGregor lives in New Mexico now. And he needs Duff's help. He's started a new life as the mayor of Antelope Wells - a mining town that's being targeted by power - hungry madman Ebenezer Schofield, who wants to declare the whole area an independent principality - and himself as king. He's already squeezing taxes out of the local businesses and citizens. But no one has the guts to stop him. Because Schofield's got his own private army of fifty uniformed men, six Mexican revolution cannons - and a traitor working on his side in the heart of Antelope Wells....

This is more than just a favor for a friend. This is justice. This is payback. This is war. And this is Duff MacCallister.

Excellent book

The narration was spot on. Use of accents that were common in early days of new immigrants added to story.

Absorbing

Yet another fine literary novel in the MacCallister series! I have found this series quite fascinating. Having the series available on audiobooks is quite a treat.

Good clean Western with a bit of Mystery.

This book rates right up there with Pearly Gates and the Chuck Wagon series.

Horrible narration

This book is awful, I can’t listen to it, this narrator talks way too fast, not worthy of my attention. It’s awful.
