"The Texas–loving, whiskey–brewing Stark family is back—in the crosshairs of an empire-building heiress with barrels of cash, buckets of bullets, and a personal army of killers . . . It’s been a year since the infamous Whiskey War ripped apart Glen Rose, Texas. After the dust settled, Jed Stark rebuilt the family ranch and distillery—and now Whiskey Woods is doing better than ever, thanks to the Stark family’s secret recipe. The whole community is flourishing. Which, unfortunately, makes it a target for land developers—namely Mona Starret, the headstrong heiress to a rail and shipping empire, and she’s decided Glen Rose would be the perfect addition to her portfolio. And what Mona wants, Mona gets, come hell or high water . . . Of course, Jed and his gun-toting mom have no intention of selling Whiskey Woods, not after rebuilding it from the ground up. Mona Starret would have to take the land over their dead bodies—which is exactly what Mona’s willing to do. She’s got her very own army of hired guns, led by a ruthless enforcer named Dalton Majors. It’s not long before the two sides are trading shots, both .44 millimeter and 80 proof. The Starks survived the Whiskey War together. But this new war is bigger and deadlier—and it’s not going to end until Mona’s army is bottoms up and down the hatch. JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE THE WHISKEY FLOWS LIKE WATER, AND THE WATER IS RED WITH BLOOD."

Whiskey Woods

"In a thrilling new series set during the explosive Texas Whiskey Wars, a proud family of distillers faces off with a ruthless rival who’s trading shots of liquor with hot lead . . . The small but lively town of Glen Rose, Texas, is famous for its home–brewed whiskey—thanks to the Stark family’s secret recipe. Over the years, Civil War veteran Jed Stark and his tough–as–nails mom, Minnie have managed to turn their small family distillery into a highly successful business. But whiskey’s not the only thing that’s brewing in Glen Rose. There’s plenty of trouble, too—namely Merlin Sheldrake, a rival distiller who’s got the money, power, and connections to swallow the Starks’ operation in a single gulp. Sure, his rancid brand of rotgut whiskey is no match for their smooth Texas blend. But this is more than friendly competition. This is nasty, all-out war . . . First, Sheldrake sends a couple of goons to the Stark ranch to steal their family recipe—but they get a faceful of buckshot from Minnie instead. Then, he sets fire to the Stark distillery, burning everything to the ground. Thankfully, Jed has a stash of stills hidden in a cave and no intention of backing down. But then the whiskey wars take an even darker turn—when Minnie is kidnapped by Sheldrake’s hired guns. Now, Jed has no choice but to fight this fight to the bitter end. Even if the blood flows faster than whiskey, Jed is prepared to teach these lowlifes a lesson: Don’t mess with Texas. Especially when there’s family, honor, and whiskey involved . . . JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE TEXANS FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, HONOR—AND WHISKEY."

Preacher's Hell [Dramatized Adaptation]: First Mountain Man 32

"Legendary bestselling western authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone return with the blazing new installment in their long-running series featuring Preacher, the First Mountain Man, in a classic showdown between Good and Evil, as he promises to protect two little angels from one devil of an outlaw. They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. For Preacher, that road begins at a remote trading post in the Bitterroot Mountains. At first, it’s a friendly reunion with his old buddies Audie and Nighthawk. But then, a young Indian woman and her grandfather are attacked by a vicious gang of thieves—and all hell breaks loose. When the smoke clears, the gang’s leader, who goes by the name Mack Ozark, has escaped, the grandfather is dead, and the woman is mortally wounded. Before she dies, she begs Preacher to look after a bundle she is carrying. Inside, wrapped in a blanket, are two blond-haired, blue-eyed babies. They’re clearly twins—and clearly not hers. Who do the babies belong to? And what is a man like Preacher supposed to do with them? The only clue is a pair of gemstone necklaces around the babies’ necks. Preacher’s friend Audie recognizes the stones as star garnets from a nearby valley, where they head off to find the twins’ mother. Along the way, they realize they’re being followed by Mack Ozark. He knows the babies’ father stole a fortune in jewels. He knows the babies’ blanket contains a map to the hidden gems. But he doesn’t know just how far a man like Preacher will go to protect those little angels—and send a devil like Ozark straight to hell.

Fool's Gold

"Cord Bennett staked his claim in the gold-rich Rio Oro Canyon in 1849 at the dawn of the California Gold Rush. That's when all hell broke loose. What started as a makeshift mining camp is now a full-blown boomtown—fueled by greed, plagued by grifters, and overrun by opportunists of every stripe. As town marshal, Cord has the unenviable job of keeping the peace. Which is easier said than done. Here in Rio Oro City, brawls can break out at any moment—whether it's a ruthless rivalry between competing saloons or an all-out turf war between miners and timberjacks. And when money's at stake, brawls can turn deadly real fast . . . In other words, Cord Bennett has his work cut out for him. His new deputy, a massive Englishman named 'Boom Boom' Blackstone, packs his punches with blasting powder. The new church pastor is as handy with his fists as he is with a Bible. And Kat Olmsted, the sister of Cord's sweetheart Glory, is fighting to save her saloon from a hostile takeover. But that's nothing compared to Cord's latest challenge. A mysterious cadre of gunmen have arrived in town—and they didn't come for the gold. They came for vengeance. Cold, calculating, and cutthroat, they were hired for one reason and one reason only: To kill Cord Bennett . . ."

A Week From Never

BREAK MURPHY'S LAW, FACE MURPHY'S WRATH. Life is hard in the Old West—but so is Cullen Murphy. Orphaned as a child, he drifted from town to town across a merciless frontier, taking any job he could. Ranch hand, cattle driver, Confederate soldier. Whatever it took, he was up for the task. But when the Civil War ended, Murphy was ready to settle down and start his own ranch in Newtown, Texas, a beautiful but untamed stretch of land with no marshal, no jailhouse—and no defense against trigger-happy lowlifes. As rumors spread about a sittin' duck of a town in that godforsaken corner of the West, every stripe of lawless miscreant comes crawling out of the Panhandle. Like Spade Atkins, a degenerate gambler and gunslinger ready to bet his life away. Or a gang of outlaws itching for mayhem, with money to burn. Holed up three miles outside of town, it won't be long before they come riding through. But Cullen Murphy is not one to stand down. High noon or last call, it's time for the deadly justice of Murphy's Law."

Fury Over Texas

"A stranger on a mission of revenge. A hurricane on a path of destruction. The storm of the century hits Texas—with a vengeance. At the height of the Civil War, a Confederate soldier was captured and held in New York's infamous Elmira prison camp. He managed to escape during a snowstorm—after killing a sadistic guard—and made his way to Texas. There, he started a new life in the small lumber town of Pine Lick, where he served as sheriff until he retired. Today, his son wears the badge; his nightmares of the war are long forgotten. But tonight, his past will return with a vengeance . . . When nature unleashes its fury. Sheriff Mack Armstrong is as fine a lawman as his father, dedicated to protecting the townspeople of Pine Lick—especially when trouble shows up.

Another force of nature arrives—even deadlier than the stranger. It’s a once–in–a–lifetime hurricane, the worst he’s ever seen. The windstorm tears apart the sawmill, the church, and homes. The torrential rains destroy the dam, then flood the streets. And all Sheriff Armstrong can do is save as many people as he can—before the stranger gets revenge . . ."

These Men Chose Hell

"The greatest Western writers of the twenty-first century return to Fort Misery—where the lowliest dregs of the U. S. ARMY defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . . They're not what you'd call 'the good guys.' They're a mangy pack of despicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse. But as condemned soldiers in an overstretched army, they were given a choice: death by hanging or serving out their time in a hell on earth. These men chose hell. Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches and gunslinging outlaws are practically a daily occurrence—and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery."

Murphy's Law

"Cullen Murphy was forged in the fires of notorious towns, rough cattle drives, and brutal battlefields. And in a land where the strong prey on the weak, he's a law unto himself. Orphaned as a child, Cullen Murphy battled against life's cruelties as he drifted from one unforgiving frontier town to the next. A hired hand at saloons and ranches, he was aimless until he met a drover who taught him to drive cattle, and inspired him to build a spread of his own on the San Saba River just outside of the small town of Newtown. Then the war came and Cullen spent four years wearing Confederate gray, earning the rank of sergeant. Caught up in the viciousness and bloodshed, he became a hardened soldier—and a merciless killer. He fought in hard-won campaigns, gaining honor, only to become embittered by defeat. With the country in ruins and no family awaiting him, Cullen returned to Texas, only to find his home pillaged—and Newtown under siege. With no marshal or sheriff to keep the peace, outlaws have taken over the town, harassing citizens, and threatening merchants. But when these gamblers and gunmen target Cullen, they incur the wrath of a man who doesn't need a badge to enforce his law."

Dewey 'Mac' McKenzie doesn't have much of an appetite for bounty hunting. Before he was a cook, Mac had a price on his head—and bounty hunters on his tail.

As a favor to his new friend, Mac agrees to join Luke on the trail of a wanted fugitive. A trail that leads them deep into Oregon timber country—and smack dab in the middle of a brewing war . . . The trouble starts in a saloon, a knuckle-busting brawl between the loggers from Pine Knob and some cowboys from a nearby ranch. When the ruckus turns bloody, Luke and Mac join the fray.

By splitting up, they can now search for the fugitive in both groups at the same time. Mac steps in as the loggers' new cook, while Luke joins the cowboys at the Triangle 7 Ranch, where this feud first ignited—and is getting hotter by the day.
