Brotherhood of the Gun is the 2nd book using William W Johnston's two latest charactors and a most exciting tale, framed in the Arizona Territory during the Apache Wars.

An excellent read for any lover of the old west.

I enjoyed this book and was set to wondering if the author was going to cross link this series with the mountain man series when Smoke Jenson was mentioned and when they linked up with a man who knew him. It didn't happen. One wonders if one day (how many books in the future) it will.

This is another of the stories in the series, and hard to put down once started.

Matt and Sam Two Wolves discover that a slaver is working with renegade Indians to raid small towns and isolated farms and ranches, killing adults and spiriting away young girls.

The girls will be sold to the captain of a cargo ship turned slave vessel, who will transport the girls to various countries where young American girls will bring large sums of money.

They initially encounter Dick Wellman, an old mountain man, and his companion, Laurie, who is seeking her brother somewhere in the West. Dick is trying to find his granddaughter, Jenny, who has been taken by the Indians and presumably sold to Lake.

They track the children to a fortress in Mexico, and with liberal use of dynamite free Jenny and the other young girls.

Then ensues a series of encounters with the criminals and their Indian partners, during which Dick is killed. He had willed his ranch to Laurie and Jenny, and in the end Matt and Sam ride away leaving Laurie sad to lose him.

This is a must-read for anyone who loves Western fiction.
