Do YOU Like Lose Ends?
(Because I loved this one)
No More Loose Ends
They say that old
age catches up with you.
Well, as Noah Weyland finds out in No
More Loose Ends, so do those characters from your past . . . IF you don’t
finish things properly when you have the opportunity.
As the blurb highlights:
*****
Former Ranger, now cattleman, Noah
Weyland is a man of few friends, and that was mostly by choice. And truth be
told, most folks just found him hard to get along with. But one man had been a
friend for more than thirty years, except they weren’t presently speaking to
each other, and hadn’t spoken in nearly three years. When the part-time deputy
rode out to tell Noah that four people in town had been killed during an almost
unheard of double robbery, and that Noah’s friend Sheriff Rhoden had been shot
and was hovering between life and death, it came as shock, but not enough of
one to stop what he was doing. Not until the deputy informed Noah that the man
leading those that had done such violence was someone from Noah’s and Rhoden’s
past. Someone that was supposed to have been dead decades earlier.
Noah knows what he has to do, but getting to
these men will be no small accomplishment, and neither will going up against
seven hard men by himself, but Noah Weyland isn’t just any other man. In
struggles that threaten to cripple him both mentally and physically, Noah must
find it within himself to carry on and push ever forward. What will be required
of him will test him as he has never been tested, and he will not only call on,
but he will rely on those skills that have made his name synonymous with hard
and soul-less.
In a fortified village not so far from the
border, Noah Weyland will dispense justice as he sees fit, and those that
choose to get in his way will not be immune to his wrath. The stories that
surround the name Noah Weyland are true, and those in that isolated village
will learn the fact in the very harshest of ways. These events will prove what
Noah has been telling people for years, they will only enforce the code he has
lived by for more than forty years. Never leave any loose ends.
*****
I’ve really started to enjoy Noah Weyland’s character. As readers know by now, he’s a man with a past that has gradually been revealed to us over the pages of previous books. We know who he is now. What drives him. What motivates him. The principles that will ensure a man will die if they ever cross the line. So, when someone who should know better; someone from Noah’s past; someone who just so happens to be one of the few people who has survived the former Ranger’s brutal brand of justice, is foolish enough to throw that incredible rarity back in Noah’s face by attacking one of the few friends he has . . .
Well you just KNOW what’s going to happen.
But it’s the way
Jeff Crawford tells it that’s so darn entertaining. Noah’s getting on in years
now. I can relate to that. Things don’t work as well as they used to. And as
Noah finds out, when you go gallivanting off in your old age to wreak justice
on fools who should know better, your former reputation can only get you so
far. Yes, having the most focused, most terrible rage in the world doesn’t stop
your back from aching; your joints from complaining; or your mind from wishing
you were home on your porch with your feet up.
And THAT’s what
makes a Noah Weyland story so good, because all the skills and knowledge and
experience are there, but as each year passes, actually delivering the goods
gets harder and harder. Noah is forced to adapt, to improvise, and acknowledge,
perhaps being at home on the porch with your feet up is the best place to be.
Superb entertainment.
Why not treat yourself and get to know Noah better? You won’t regret it.
