 The Jackals #1

by

William W Johnstone

and

J.A. Johnstone




Even at 4 stars it was still a good read. Started a little differently with stories around each man before they came together. 

That was when the story and the excitement really kicked off. Holed up in a waystation with an Apache war party outside, a woman sentenced to hang inside, along with a cowardly thief who stole $50,000 from the murderous Hawkin gang who are now on his trail and wanting it back.

Then there is the newspaper man who thinks very little of the three men he has dubbed the 'Jackals'. Ex-cavalry sergeant Sean Keegan, bounty hunter Jed Breen, and ex-Texas Ranger Matt McCulloch.

Now it is all down to fate. Who will die? What will happen to the money? And who will survive the bloody siege?

Overall the book was well written and the story interesting. Would recommend to western lovers.
