Along to Presidio

A Western Novel

By: Eric H. Heisner

Narrated by: Chris Abell

No one cares enough about the nearly abandoned West Texas border town to give it a permanent name or stand up for the remaining citizens. With a few exceptions, unless someone works for the largest cattle outfit in the region or operates the only saloon in town, there isn't much worth sticking around for. As the tense relationship between the two opposing groups simmers, a trio of brothers comes to town and quickly becomes embroiled in the battle for supremacy. Hostilities come to a head when a mysterious woman arrives in the border region to appeal to those involved and remind them of their dutiful sense of right and wrong. In a harsh Western landscape, the struggle of moral consequence draws a dividing line between justice and survival.

Western grit, dust, gun smoke, and a hint of western romance

If you enjoyed the “Sons of Katie Elder” (John Wayne), “The Good, the Bad the Ugly” (Clint Eastwood) and “Tombstone” (Kurt Russell) you will enjoy this story.
The story was written in the colloquial dialogue of the time period that brought you back in time, but not difficult to understand. Plenty of action, with a balance of intrigue and twist to the plot. I understand this Author is also a screenwriter, actor and director. I look forward to reading/ listening/ seeing more from this him!

A powerful and dramatic novel

It is fun to see talented writers capture the Western genre still to this day. Author does this classic material justice as few have done in the last 35 years. I miss Lamour, Zane, and even the silver screen masters who could pull this off well. The author does a great job here in making you feel like you're right there in saddle riding among the main characters.

Story development, narration, thoughtful language and mood help paint the "imagery" that makes this seem relatable.

The book certainly entertained me over countless miles of traveling the western states and made my adventure seem more enjoyable.
