The Edge of Nowhere

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

Narrated by: Justin Price

DON'T OPEN FIRE UNTIL CHRISTMAS

Patrick Foley is a haunted man. After losing his family in a brutal Commanche raid, he drifts from town to town seeking justice and revenge. His mission—to track down the killers—has hardened his heart against all men, good or bad. But his icy resolve begins to melt when he arrives in the small Texas town of Christmas Creek—along with a massive winter storm that traps him there with a good woman, her little boy, and some very bad men . . .

Texans call it a Blue Norther. A fast-moving onslaught of heavy sleet and snow, it brings Foley's search to a halt, but also gives him a chance to warm up with the charming young widow who runs the general store. Her name is Lovejoy Peace. She has a friendly smile, a six-year-old son—and a terrible problem with mean-spirited cowboys stealing supplies from her store. Being a gentleman, Foley raises his gun to defend the widow and stop the thieving snakes. But the battle is far from over . . .

The storm is getting worse. The cowboy gang is snowbound, too—and they're ready for a rematch. If Foley, the widow, and her son can survive the night, it'll be a Christmas miracle . . .

THE EDGE OF NO WHERE

This is a new series. This is an excellent storyline. It has a different feel than most westerns I've listened to lately. This is a five star book in my opinion. I was hooked from the start. I paid extra attention starting out to fiqure out who everyone was. It's easy to follow and I didn't stop listening. The summary of what the book is about doesn't add up.(I THINK THE SUMMARY IS FOR A DIFFERENT BOOK.) Ridge is the star character. He is a Texas Ranger . Ridge has to take on the whole town. He's helping a woman that owns a store. There is a ranch that's trying to put her out of business so they can own the town. Ridge is her only hope. This is an action packed book. I like a story line where a rich rancher thinks he can own the town by running rough shot over everyone. And one man ruins his plans. I will continue if there is a book 2. I'll also listen to this again later. Justin price does a good job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

the little girls banter and unbridled courage

great plot and character development. uncommon dialog. so much better than the graphic readings options.

so descriptive

loved the characters i could picture and the setting.. I could see the town in my mind. i wish I had waited for the dramatized version, but at the same time i'm glad I listened. awesome story. can't wait for the next in this series

The kid

Actually, your books for becoming extremely monotonous you gave up on the preacher series you did not bring out any more Luke Jensen, nor have I found any Frank Morgan you are entrance in the movie for your mind thing and you are getting off of your original path this is the first sign i see you have actually went back to story writing, which is a good sign

on the edge of nowhere.

I must enjoy Johnstone books. they keep my mind busy and occupied. tales of the typical Texas adventure of the Old West. Great books.
