The Lonesome Gun

A Perley Gates Western, Book 7

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

Narrated by: Danny Campbell

Good Samaritan gunslinger Perley Gates returns for a new action-packed adventure from legendary national bestselling Western authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone set in historic Texas.

Perley's elder brother, Rubin, who manages the Triple-G Ranch decides to try breeding some Hereford cattle with the ranch's longhorns. He asks Perley to deliver the contract for the Herefords, a simple task. But nothing ever remains simple when Perley is involved. And for the reluctant fast gun, it means a nightmare journey through hell itself . . .

The trouble starts when Perley and his sidekick, Possum, meet some damsels in distress—a lovely group of saloon girls with a broken wagon wheel. Being a good Samaritan, Perley feels honor-bound to help them. But when the travelers cross paths with an ornery gang of vicious outlaws, things turn deadly—and fast. It only gets worse from there, for Perley agrees to escort them to Nacogdoches—next to Angelina County, a section of which is infested with a special breed of vermin known as the Tarpley family. And this corrupt clan has a gunslinger—who'd love nothing more than to take down a living legend like Perley Gates . . .

I enjoyed the shot ready for the next

if there was only one Cow pie in the state of Texas he would step in it great story line love the ending

God's works thru Pearlie

I started 1,now I will be on waiting for more of Pearlie s innocence and good nature as he rids society of people with no morals, remorse and hurting and killing others. not meaning to be a vigilante he isn't asking for the path and gift I (you) know God is blessing him with

Solid Serial

I have read all the Perley Gates westerns and in able to settle to them like the companionship of old friends. They are simple easy and comfortable with excellent character developments. Just never want them to end.
