Hell Ride to Heaven's Gate

Frontiersmen, Book 1

One ship. One crew. One hell of a run.

Welcome to the edge of the galaxy—where the stars are lawless, the jobs are dirty, and survival is just another hustle.

John Donovan is a Frontiersman: smuggler, pilot, and professional debtor. He'll haul anything for the right price—cargo, cattle, fugitives, even a preacher with secrets too big to pray away. When a desperate job takes him through the forbidden space of the warlike Peko, Donovan figures it's just another high-risk run.

He couldn't be more wrong.

Between hostile aliens, scavenger pirates, and a haunted luxury cruiser adrift in the void, Donovan and his mismatched crew are in for the ride of their lives. And as the bullets start flying and the air gets thin, one thing becomes clear:

Getting to Heaven's Gate may just be a one-way ticket to hell.

Frontiersmen: Hell Ride to Heaven's Gate is the explosive start to a gripping space western series—perfect for fans of Firefly and The Mandalorian. Fast-paced, character-driven, and packed with frontier grit.

Smuggle fast. Shoot straight. Don't look back.

Wes Andrews, born in 1977, has sat on the back of a horse, carried a Colt on his hip, and slept in boots night after night. When he's not writing novels, he watches old movies, roams through nature, or plays cards with rough men. He lives with his wife and animals in a sleepy town in the south and is delighted that people are no longer forced to settle their neighborhood disputes on the street at noon.

That aside, Wes Andrews is the pseudonym of an award-winning author who has also written for the Star Trek franchise. And although none of the above is a lie, it should not be taken too seriously.
