Fighting Back

Sometimes, the law of civilized men stretches thin.

After months of rugged travel through the mountains of Colorado, Gus McIntyre and his friends are pressed into action the minute they set foot in Southwest Texas.
A ruthless band of cattle thieves, known as the Blazing Iron Gang, is terrorizing the ranching communities around Santa Angela. Everybody is losing beef in the middle of the night, and efforts to stop the thievery have failed.
Instead of celebrating their long-awaited homecoming with the Hamilton family at the Circle H Ranch, McIntyre and Naomi Brown join a small posse in an attempt to locate the elusive rustlers. Joining them is Black Dog, an Apache tracker, and Flemming Ibbara, a Spanish immigrant whose farm was hit by the rustlers. Young and inexperienced, the posse finds itself outnumbered and locked in a battle of wits against men who believe themselves untouchable.
Between Naomi, who was raised by the Caputa Indians, and Black Dog, an Apache subchief, every hoofprint and broken twig becomes a clue. The unlikely posse follows the trail across scorching plains, tangled river bottoms, and desolate canyons to uncover a criminal operation that considers itself untouchable.
The Texas frontier is a place where justice often rides a lonely trail. The determined posse must decide how far they are willing to go to get the stolen steers back, setting the stage for a classic showdown.
For the young posse, courage is measured by action and loyalty is tested by fire. One question remains: IsApache justice more effective than any of the white man’s courts?

Fighting Back is a sweeping Western thriller of vengeance, loyalty, and survival in a land where justice is fragile and most often deadly. Written in an easy-to-read, Louie L’Amore style, the 13th installment of the McIntyre Adventures delivers a pulse-pounding ride through wild country. Get your copy today.
