William W Johnstone: These Men Chose Hell, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century return to Fort Misery—where the lowliest dregs of the U. S. calvary defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . .

They’re not what you’d call “the good guys.” They’re a mangy pack of dispicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse. But as condemned soldiers in an overstretched army, they were given a choice: death by hanging or serving out their time in a hell on earth.

These men chose hell.

Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches, gunslinging outlaws, and bloodthirsty banditos are practically a daily occurrence—and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery. But when a rebel faction decides to break ranks and go AWOL, the fort’s exasperated commander—Captain Peter Joseph Kellerman—has to think fast and fight dirty to fend off a cutthroat band of Mexican renegades. Their goal: to steal the largest stash of gold in the territory—and slaughter every last man in the fort . . .

FORT MISERY LOVES COMPANY. THE MORE, THE DEADLIER.
