Killer Take All

Written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone

Narrated by P.J. Ochlan

Scotsman-turned-cowboy Duff MacCallister traveled far and worked hard to start a new life in America. And anyone who tries to mess with his dream is in for some serious Highland justice . . .

The cattle town of Chugwater may not look like much to outsiders. But for Duff MacCallister and the determined settlers who've staked their futures here, it's a land of opportunity. That's why the whole town is fired up by the latest news. Young railroad developer Jacob Freemantle wants to run a rail line through Chugwater, making it easier to transport cattle. Everyone is on board with the plan-at first. Duff begins to suspect that Freemantle is only after the most valuable land, and he's using strongarm tactics to force reluctant ranchers to sell. Things only get worse when Freemantle's hired guns show up-and the violence really begins . . .

But Duff's got a plan of his own. With a little help from some well-armed friends, he's going to flush this phony out of Chugwater-and run his hired killers out of town on a rail . . .

Reviews for Killer Take All

[lcjohnson1988_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Title: Killer Takes All (A Duff MacCallister Western #10)Author: William W Johnstone and J. A. JohnstonePages: 368Year: 2020Publisher: PinnacleMy rating: 5 out of 5 stars.Duff MacCallister is a Scottish immigrant who now is a successful Angus Cattleman and large landowner in Chugwater, Wyoming. Duff is a man of principle who fights for what is right and stands by his friends no matter what comes their way. In this latest installment, Duff isn’t the one so much injured as his fellow neighbors are by what appears to be a land grab by a railroad company. When the owner of a railroad sends his son to the town to build a connecting spur, the townspeople become divided when the ranch owners want the railroad company to build elsewhere. Why? Well, that is part of what readers will discover as they get lost in the tale!I have become fond of Duff, Elmer, Wang, and other characters that are bonded together by business, friendship and more. Meagan is Duff’s lady friend who owns a small share in Duff’s ranch and cattle, but their romance is building as well as their abiding friendship. Audiences will get new insight into the backgrounds of the fictional players Wang and Elmer, who are very interesting and unique to the tales in all of the Duff MacCallister novels.The action and adventure in the book are liberally sprinkled throughout and the climax near the end left me wanting more. The various secondary characters brought to life the fictional town of Chugwater, Wyoming such as the newspaper owner and editor, Mr. Blanton. With real life being as it is, the ability to get lost in the old west with familiar characters is one reason I enjoy curling up with a Johnstone book and I am betting you will too. With each new story, readers will finish a book feeling as if the players are real, the action takes their breath away and leaving you wanting more!So, enjoy this latest book in the MacCallister Western Series, and if you haven’t yet, enjoy the books that have come before such as MacCallister: The Eagles Legacy, The Killing, Dry Gulch Ambush, Kill Crazy, Kingdom Come, Ten Guns From Texas, Day of Reckoning, The Stalking Death, and Stranglehold. If you’re like me, it is fun reading and seeing evil being vanquished!Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
