Mean and Evil

Brannigan's Land, Book 2

By: J.A. Johnstone, William W. Johnstone

Narrated by: George Guidall

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE FAMILY COMES FIRST.

Ex-lawman turned cattle rancher Ty Brannigan loves his wife and children. And may Lord have mercy on those who would harm them—because Ty Brannigan will show none.

KILLER SMILE

No one knows their way around a faro table, bank vault, or six shooter more than Smilin’ Doc Ford. When he’s not gambling or thieving, he’s throwing lead—or, if he’s feeling especially vicious, slitting throats with his Arkansas toothpick.

Roaming the west with Doc is a band of wild outlaws including a pair of hate-filled ex-cons and the voluptuous Zenobia “Zee” Swallow, Doc’s kill-crazy lady.

The gang have been on a killing spree, leaving a trail of bodies near Ty Brannigan’s Powderhorn spread in Wyoming’s Bear Paw Mountains. U.S. marshals want Ty to help them track down Smilin’ Doc’s bunch. But when the hunt puts the Brannigan clan in the outlaws’ sights, Ty and his kin take justice into their own hands—and deliver it with a furious, final vengeance.

father's, sons and those daughters

great plot and character development..the narrator although good , needs to slow down at pivotal moments. I should have adjusted the playback speed. my bad.

A Most Enjoyable Western Tale

This original and well thought-out western drew me in as the story progressed. The excellent narration by George Guidall was the "icing on the cake." Great read!

Good Western....

Good Johnstone story...but I thought Ty was a bit too macho for me....eclipsed the other siblings roles....But all an all loved the author...my favorite western writer!!

Western junkie

I love the Ty Brannigan story and characters this one seemed to be written like a WWE script or B horror film. Mac knows better than to go sneaking around in the woods and then yelling “Who’s out there”. And the fight between bear and Ty with all the kicking guns out of each other’s hands and so close back and forth. Wouldn’t Ty in his heightened sense of anger and his prowess with his revolver been able to clear leather and shoot before the Indian kicked it out of his hand? Remember he is grease lighting and cocks his revolver as he pulls it. I still love the story line just think it was written with the action in mind and not true to the characters (in my mind at least).
