Publisher's summary

In the best-selling tradition of such Western writers as Louis L’Amour and Elmore Leonard come the riveting and unforgettable first two installments of Tobias Cole’s Sharpshooters trilogy - now in one volume!

Brimstone

The story of Andersonville prison camp was written in blood, with few left alive to tell it. Union Army sharpshooter Jed Wells was one of them, and he was sworn to share the tales of those who suffered and died beside him. It is a promise that has brought Jed to Kansas and to small-town Sheriff Amos Broughton, a friend and fellow survivor of hell on earth. But Broughton’s dangerous obsession with a mysterious man threatens to explode in a vengeful rain of bullets and death - forcing Jed Wells to take up his rifle to save a soul damned by terrible secrets that are buried with the bones of captured soldiers in the Georgia mud.

Gold Fever

Union Army sharpshooter Jed Wells met the possibly mad artist Josephus McCade when they were prisoners in Andersonville, and he remembers well the strange man’s rants about a “key” to unimaginable wealth. Now that the guns of the war between North and South have fallen forever silent, curiosity is drawing Jed back onto the trail of the eccentric McCade. But the artist’s charmed life may soon be coming to a brutal end, thanks to a secret he will tell no one - a mystery that’s pulling Jed Wells himself into the gunsight of a killer.

Unexpectedly delightful

We’ll written and well read!
Something you can listen to out loud with the wife and children present. That is not always the case with these audible books. Kudos to the author.

A well written book

The narrator did a good job reading the story! Listening to this book passed long hours of travel. Very interesting how passed hard experiences shape ones life and how we all deal with those experiences different! Will try to find other books about Sharo Shooter.

Great listen.

Good old fashioned country settling. Enjoyed the characters, in some spots it seemed a little far fetched, but I liked it well enough.

The first story…

The first story is one of the best westerns I have ever listened to, the second one was damn good as well but honestly that first one set the bar pretty high. Either way I look forward to more in this series.

Awesome!

I thoroughly enjoyed these two books. I wish the last book in the trilogy was on audible too! Great storyline, narrator was so easy to listen to, can’t say enough great things about this author.

Unexpectedly delightful

I purchased this via one of Audibles sales. I generally struggle to find something to purchase and being an avid westerns reader I purchased this title. Great plots and characters. Narration was awesome. I loom forward to more of Mr. Cole's work.

I really enjoyed this. So many decent westerns are made intolerable by bad narration. This narration was top notch. I have heard another book is on the way. I hope ANY new book comes out from Tobias.
