      A Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger Novel Assigned to track an Indian raiding party, Texas Ranger Josiah Wolfe expects to return home to his son in Austin in a few days. But when the Ranger and his compatriots from the Frontier Battalion are overtaken by two Comanche scouts, they find themselves captives instead of captors. Comanches aren’t known for going easy on their prisoners, so Josiah is surprised when they don’t immediately shoot him. Turns out there’s a price on his head thanks to Liam O’Reilly, a gang leader also known as the Badger. Josiah has a checkered history with the outlaw—he apprehended the gang’s previous leader—but he doesn’t know why O’Reilly wants him dead. As the Comanches drag him to the town where the Badger is waiting, Josiah knows that time is running out. But Texas Rangers are hard men to kill, and Josiah Wolfe is no exception…

      A Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger Novel While Texas Ranger Josiah Wolfe may have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the death of his former commanding officer, the press in Austin is a good deal less forgiving. With most of the town baying for his blood, Josiah eagerly accepts a special assignment that takes him south to Corpus Christi. Assuming a secret identity, Josiah's first solo mission has him playing the part of a spy in order to investigate a slew of thefts that are leaving the local ranchers angry as hell. After four long months away from home, Josiah will have to risk everything to bring the leader of the raids, Juan Cortina, to justice if he ever wants to return to his family—and the complications that await in Austin... "A gem among gems. Sweazy is a superb storyteller, and this quick-moving yarn is cut from tightly-woven cloth. He breathes life into the frontier, and readers are immersed in the sights, sounds, and ever-present threat of death lurking at every corner."—Phil Dunlap, author of Cotton's War

      Sep 11, 2018

      John Larison’s Whiskey When We’re Dry speaks the American language of the tall tale: Its braggadocio is disguised as candor, and the novel mutes any trace of absurdity with its sharp plot, its tendency to whisper secrets rather than dwell on them, and its preference for scene overexposition. Set on the American frontier in the … The post Sharpshooters and Tall Tales: On John Larison’s ‘Whiskey When We’re Dry’ appeared first on The Millions.
