There are cutthroat gangs bent on slaughtering anything on two legs. And 700 miles of the deadliest terrain Red Ryan has ever had to shoot his way out of....

This was like 5 stories in one book

I enjoyed the first one in the series better than this one. It was almost as if whoever (never have believed J.A. is so prolific a writer) wrote this had a bunch of short stories to put together in one book. It wandered an awful lot from one bad guy to the next. Certain parts were of it was just too unbelievable to keep my interest, but overall it was good listen.

absolutely awesome story

Never a dull moment. First book I have read from start to finish and it was absolutely incredible. NO SPOILERS FROM ME. 😂😂

Good characters and narrator

Another good story and plenty of humor, interesting setting and atmosphere, drama, action and a little romance!

Make this into a Movie!!!

I love Johnstone Westerns. I started out reading all the preacher books. I voided these red Ryan series because I didn’t know how interesting and Overland stage series would be. I found it to be highly entertaining, humorous, and interesting.

Great to Have a Woman as a Primary Hero in this Story

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It offered the usual Johnstone shoot ‘em up hero’s, and then some Steampunk, some UK history and an array of UK officers, as well as a few professors from prestigious UK universities; there was even discussion about dinosaurs.
These various topics definitely whet my appetite for more knowledge beyond this book. I had never though about what people thought about dinosaurs before they were discovered. And was there really a steam engine vehicle like Aurora back then?
I’d recommend this book for anyone above age 14.
