About this audiobook
Lawman, manhunter, peacemaker-it takes a hard breed of man to survive as a Texas Ranger, but Chick Bowdrie stands head and shoulders above the rest. The rough trails are his home. He's dried by the desert sun and wind, scarred and toughened by uncounted gun battles, and when you look into his black eyes it's like looking down the barrels of two .44s. He rides in the name of justice, but he lives by his own law. And if you're thinking about walking on the wrong side of Bowdrie's Law, you'd better start running. Fast.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This final novel (chronologically) in the Sackett series kept me turning pages until the end. It reunites Tell, Tye, and Orrin Sackett who are coming to the rescue of Logan Sackett. The cattle drive part was interesting as was the intrigue that threatened the success of the drive. I like the description of the land and the details about the drive. My only regret is that there are no more books in the series to read. I thought there was more story to tell. If you like Westerns, then you will like this book. If you are a fan of the Sackett series, then this is a must read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This story is another Tell Sackett story, along with his younger brothers Orrin and Tyrel, and their distant cousin Logan Sackett. Cap Roundtree is with them, along with some new faces.
Somehow, Logan got himself into trouble, and Tell and Co. need to bring in a whole herd of cattle to settle some sort of debt. However, as they're moving northwest across the U.S.-Canadian border and into British Columbia, they are constantly hammered with all sorts of trouble actively working to prevent them from delivering the herd.
Unfortunately, Louis forgets about some characters. Gilchrist and the Ox come grinding against Orrin and Brandy. It ends up in a fist fight between Orrin and the Ox, they leave the team, and that's it. Nothing more of either of them. Brandy too, just sort of disappears after that moment. Another character, Flemming, disappears when they reach a sign scratched onto a rock about Logan. Flemming also is never heard of again. Of course, it wouldn't be a Louis L'Amour story without the Good Guys getting the gold at the end, and without the story coming to a very abrupt halt.
However, this felt more like a "cowboy story" than many of the others he wrote. Cowboys pushing cattle across the country, battling Mother Nature, battling each other, and using their wits to survive. Louis has his own idioms, which makes for some delightful reading, which helps against the slow chapters.
This is the final book in the Sackett series. After reading the entire series, I'm ready for something new. Let's see how Talon & Chantry hold up in comparison.
