Here it is, another masterful work from the pen of Charles Edmonson. I think I have said it before and I’ll say it again, “this is not just another cowboy story of the Wild West.” In this second novel of the Pecos series, “Prodigal of the Pecos” Charles tells the story of a man summoned home to find the murderer of his brother. With stark, raw reality, and such descriptive verbiage that is used to tell the tale, you will not put this book down. You will want to close the cover because the horror seems so real, but your eyes will remain glued to the page. I gave it my highest A+ rating and tell all that it is an enjoyable read.

–READERS VIEW REVIEW

"The Pecos had been at war for more than fifteen years. First with the Yankees, then with the Indians, now with itself." Author C. E. Edmonson has given us another great story rich in historic context, beautifully drawn landscapes, high action and unforgettable characters.

–SIERRA BOOK REVIEWS

“Smartly written, historically compelling…. A brilliant character study nested in an epic backdrop of the Old West.”

–WESTERN TIMES REVIEW

“A convincing combination of wit and grit—the stuff of which the Old West was made!”

–TRAILWRITERS REVIEW

“Award-winning writer Edmonson’s tight prose wastes nary a word while describing the hard-edged character of Clint Cooper. Edmonson avoids predictability because of his skilled plotting and cinematic action scenes. Vivid descriptions of the wild Texas landscape, coupled with dialogue that’s witty and deadly serious by turns, add depth and historical detail. A fast-paced historical western lively with high adventure, sharp dialogue and a stand-up hero.”
