About this listen

Good Samaritan gunslinger Perley Gates returns for a new action-packed adventure from legendary national bestselling Western authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone set in historic Texas.

Perley's elder brother, Rubin, who manages the Triple-G Ranch decides to try breeding some Hereford cattle with the ranch's longhorns. He asks Perley to deliver the contract for the Herefords, a simple task. But nothing ever remains simple when Perley is involved. And for the reluctant fast gun, it means a nightmare journey through hell itself . . .

The trouble starts when Perley and his sidekick, Possum, meet some damsels in distress—a lovely group of saloon girls with a broken wagon wheel. Being a good Samaritan, Perley feels honor-bound to help them. But when the travelers cross paths with an ornery gang of vicious outlaws, things turn deadly—and fast. It only gets worse from there, for Perley agrees to escort them to Nacogdoches—next to Angelina County, a section of which is infested with a special breed of vermin known as the Tarpley family. And this corrupt clan has a gunslinger—who'd love nothing more than to take down a living legend like Perley Gates . . .

God's works thru Pearlie

I started 1,now I will be on waiting for more of Pearlie s innocence and good nature as he rids society of people with no morals, remorse and hurting and killing others. not meaning to be a vigilante he isn't asking for the path and gift I (you) know God is blessing him with

Solid Serial

I have read all the Perley Gates westerns and in able to settle to them like the companionship of old friends. They are simple easy and comfortable with excellent character developments. Just never want them to end.

Another good Perley Gates adventure

As in the previous books in this series, I enjoy the character of Perley. His ethical approach in the face of a number of bad hombres throughout his adventures. makes for a fun read. Possum is a fun character too. I really enjoy Mr. Campbell's reading of each character in the series.

Honest Man

Pearlie never leaves a person in need no matter their station in life and does not care if assistance inconveniences him.

if you first do not succeeed, there will be no second chance in Perley's world

so think twice before you make a terrible mistake. Family is the backbone of civilization but what if that family is hellbent on being corrupt? it needs Perley's intervention.
