About This Audiobook

When a train robbery in the Indian Nations leaves a guard dead and two ruthless outlaws on the loose, U.S. Deputy Marshal Ed Pine tracks the killers to Muskogee -- and then vanishes. His partner Will Tanner rides into that dangerous territory knowing the law carries little weight there, and that finding his missing friend may require setting aside his badge entirely. The second entry in the Will Tanner series pits a young marshal against the kind of lawless frontier where survival depends less on authority than on instinct, nerve, and a steady hand.

The full-cast dramatized format transforms this Western thriller into something closer to an old-time radio play, with distinct voices bringing every gunslinger, lawman, and bystander to vivid life. The large ensemble, anchored by Terence Aselford and a roster of experienced DC-area stage and audio performers, keeps the tension crisp across the 5-hour runtime. Action sequences hit with real urgency, and the Indian Nations setting feels genuinely atmospheric. Fans of character-driven Westerns will find the audio format a natural home for Johnstone's storytelling.
