The Horses: The Journey of Jim Glass

By Bill Brooks

Book Overview

Jim Glass' long-sought peace is shattered when the ex-soldier and ex-Ranger discovers six of his corralled horses dead, their throats slit. Though he dreads doing so, he'll strap on his weapons and go hunting for the culprit--because someone capable of such a foul, thoughtless killing is capable of anything. The dusty town of Domingo has been targeted by a pair of blood-crazed brothers and their Texas cohorts with robbery, murder and mayhem on their minds, and that's where Glass will make his stand--even though his only support is an old Indian named Hairy Legs and an over-the-hill lawman named Trout. Because a home's the one thing a man's got that's worth fighting--and dying--for.

Customer Reviews

Another good tale, well told

While mass-market genre paperbacks can be expected to contain some quotient of formula, readers can count on Bill Brooks to deliver a good solid western, with a few genuinely fine passages to savor along the way. "The Horses" ties up the Jim Glass series quite well, while presenting a fresh, not-too-predictable storyline. The only quibble might be the somewhat abrupt climax, which seems to characterize the two most recent series. A good read (which should never be considered a dubious compliment).
