Indlæser... Cutthroats (A Slash and Pecos Western)af William W. Johnstone
   Ingen Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog.  zmagic69 | Mar 31, 2023 |   Author: William W. Johnstone & J. A. Johnstone Pages: 347 Year: Jan. 2019 (Hardback) Publisher: Kensington Pub Corp My rating: 4 out of 5 stars. If you love a good adventure set in the Old West, here is the first book in a new series by Johnstone. The tone of the first installment sets the tone, I think, for what will happen to characters later in the series, that is if they aren’t meeting their demise. Their gun smoke in the air, some who traveled owl hoot trail and want to go straight while others are trying to take out those who want to leave breaking the law in the pat. The nicknames of the two main characters, Pecos and Slash, come to a big problem when former members of their gang use them as they pull new jobs. Yet, even the original Pecos and Slash have their morals and what the new “leaders” of their old gang do is beyond what the former leaders can stand. Now, they must track down these men and set thing right, along with working for a marshal they cannot stand. The one thing the Johnstone’s don’t put in their book is spelling out what happens between people. I, for one, appreciate that from them. The only thing I didn’t care for in the book was more cussing than I thought necessary. With that being said, I hope future Cutthroat adventures aren’t as filled with it, and I will enjoy seeing how these two men in their later years are now living life inside the law!

HTML:JOHNSTONE. KEEPING THE WEST WILD. Not every Western hero wears a white hat or a tin star. Most of them are just fighting to survive. Some of them can be liars, cheaters, and thieves. And then there's a couple of old-time robbers named Slash and Pecos . . . Two wanted outlaws. One hell of a story. After a lifetime of robbing banks and holding up trains, Jimmy "Slash" Braddock and Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker are ready to call it quits??though not completely by choice. Sold out by their old gang, Slash and Pecos have to bust out of jail and pull one last job to finance their early retirement . . . The target is a rancher's payroll train. Catch is: the train is carrying a Gatling gun and twenty deputy US marshals who know they're coming. Caught and quickly sentenced to hang, their old enemy??the wheelchair-bound, bucket of mean, Marshal L.C. Bledsoe??shows up at the last minute to spare their lives. For a price. He'll let them live if they hunt down their old gang, the Snake River Marauders. And kill those prairie rats??with extreme pre No library descriptions found. |

The story is about 2 aging gang members in the old west, whose gang has abandoned them and the man who hires them to track and kill the old gang.
There are 2 more books in the series and I will probably read them too. (
