Stephen Bly (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 1993

This time Brannon heads south of the border to buy cattle for his ranch. But he finds the cattle rustled and their owner murdered. Brannon comes up against something a lot bigger than just a band of small-time rustlers. A former Confederate officer stole the herd to finance his private army. Captain Porter has devised a fantastic scheme to "liberate" Baja California, supposedly for the Confederacy. But Porter should have picked someone else's cattle. Army or no army, Brannon is not about to let him walk away with his livestock.

Meanwhile Stuart gets reacquainted with the widow Victoria Pacifica and discovers they have much in common. His admiration grows for this amazing woman. Will she succeed in getting Brannon to lay to rest the ghost of his dead wife where others have failed?

4.0 out of 5 stars A fine western written with a Christian perspective, June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Final Justice at Adobe Wells (The Legend of Stuart Brannon, Book 5) (Paperback)

This is a fast-paced western filled with vivid images and non-stop action. Brannon is a western hero who has come to understand his relationship with God. But, his past and the criminals of the Southwest just won't leave him alone. The Christian perspective of the author is even-handed and non-preachy. Read one of Steven Bly's books and you'll be hooked. A fine author!

Good old-fashioned western! Love that Stuart Brannon! Brannon tackles an army bent on liberating Baja, California. They make the fatal mistake of rustling his cattle to finance the venture. Victoria Pacifica provides intriguing romance and Brannon fans hold their breath: will she be the woman to lay to rest the ghost of his beloved dead wife?

This review is from: Final Justice at Adobe Wells (The Legend of Stuart Brannon, Book 5) (Paperback)

Stuart travels south of the border to buy cattle, but finds the cattle stolen and their owner murdered. This is not the work of ordinary thieves, but of a former Confederate officer determined to finance the "liberation" of Baja California for the glory of the Confederacy. This time, however, he's tangled with the wrong man, because Brannon is not about to let wrong go unpunished if he can help it.

In the process, Brannon comes to admire the newly-widowed Victoria Pacifica, and wonders if he's met the one woman who can help him finally love again.

Another keeper. Bly may be occasionally sparse on detail - although he gives you just enough to let you "see" where you are - but he's still long on action and character. Brannon is as straight and true as ever ... and there are no simpering heroines in a Bly book.
