Product Description
Product Description
Jonah Hook was a man who had lost everything a man could lose--but the iron will to reclaim what had been taken from him. Now he must confront the fiery religious heretic who has enslaved his wife and the fierce Comanche tribe who has raised his long-lost sons. From Fort Laramie, land of Sioux and Cheyenne, to the empire of the Mormons in the shadow of tall mountains, and on to the Texas panhandle, where he will join the ranks of the Texas Rangers, the journey ahead will test Jonah's courage, cunning, and endurance to the limit. On this bloody trail of rescue and revenge, nothing will stop him save success . . . or death.

Exceedingly Well-Written, Rich in the Flavor of the Period
14 Jun 1999
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book, the second in the trilogy of Jonah Hook was in a word outstanding. Any person who's at all interested in "wild west" literature or simply in for a good read would do good to shell out the money to pick up this trio of books. The authenticity of the book literally shines through in every paragraph. It's obvious the book has been exceedingly researched. However, the thing that makes the writing of Terry C. Johnston so exemplary is the depth of the characters he creates. They are three-dimensional characters, real people, and simply quite interesting. The action packed portions of the book are also exciting in that old-fashioned heart thumping sort of way. In short, this book rich in authenticity and the flavor of the period, is well-written in every sense and has well-developed, interesting, real characters and enough emotion in it's pages to keep you reading. Anyone interested in the period or anyone wanting some good reading to chew on for a while would do good to pick up the Jonah Hook trilogy.

Historical Novel About the Plains
12 Sep 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jonah Hook continues his search for his sons & wife. Good story within the context of the true history of the plains during the 1860 - 70s. But Johnston's use of similes gets tiring at times.
