No Man's Land

By William W. Johnstone

Book Overview

Kansas doesn't want it. Neither does Texas. The 35 - mile wide strip of land destined to become the Oklahoma panhandle is a place unlike any other on the frontier: with no laws, no rules, and a powerful attraction for killers, looters, and fugitives. Frank Morgan, a gunfighter feared by all and hated by some, has been warned to stay the hell out of the strip. But warnings never did work well on Morgan, and he's more determined than ever to stay - when an ambush nearly takes his life. Soon, in a remote cabin in the heart of No Man's Land, Morgan will wake up to discover that he has just cause and a burning need to go out and fight. All he lacks is an ally - in a place where all his enemies want him dead.

Montana Reader

An aging gunfighter, Frank Morgan, meets a wagon train on its way from Indiana to the gold fields of Colorado. Morgan suspects that their wagon master, Steve Wilson, is not what he portays himself to be and after enjoying the company of the train's members for the evening, he bids everyone a safe journey and leaves the train. Fearing treachery from Wilson, Morgan follows the wagons. His suspicions were confirmed when he found all of the men and boys killed, and wagons, women and girls missing. This sets the basis for Morgan's determination to find and rescue the women and lead them to their desired destinations. The plot includes women slavery, heartless killers, plenty of gunplay, a young Texan Ranger and a kind-hearted couple who helps Morgan when he needs it most. The character development is crisp, and the warming love between the aging Morgan and widower Dixie Carpenter leaves the reader cheering for a long, sucessful future for the two and for an answer to Morgan's growing desire to end the violence that hounds him. You'll enjoy this one.
