Brother's Keeper

By: Ralph Compton, David Robbins

Narrated by: Jack Garrett

The life of a cowboy suits Thalis Christie just fine. A puncher for the Crescent H in Texas, he loves what he does and is damn good at it too. He doesn't even mind being away from his family - he's got good friends to keep him from getting too homesick. That is, until his folks write, imploring him to hunt down his brother, Myles, who's been shot while prospecting in the Black Hills.

Thalis sets out to do his family duty and find his little brother - still alive, he hopes. Thalis has got his partner, Ned Leslie, by his side, as well as some other surprising travel companions, including the famous Wild Bill Hickok. But as he follows his brother's wandering trail across the country, leading him to encounter deadly obstacles from Texas to Blood Gulch, he begins to wonder if he can ever return to the comfortable life he used to lead - or if he even wants to..

Brothers Keepers

This is a great book. Thalis gets a telegram from his sister that there brother Myles is in the Black Hills and has been shot. Thalis ,his sister and a couple of his friends goes looking for him. Myles has turned bad. When they get where he is there is a guy running the town with eight gunman controlling the town. They won't let them leave. Then the war is on and it's a big one. I didn't like Thalis I thought he wanted to control everyone. He kept telling his friends and sister what to do to much. It may have been for the best but still he was a little to controlling for me. But that didn't take anything from the book. The book was great. Jack Garrett does a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.
