Summary
Summary
National best-selling author and New Mexico native Michael McGarrity takes listeners to the wild territory of the late 19th-century American Southwest for this epic tale. After the deaths of his wife and brother, John Kerney gives up his West Texas ranch and heads south in search of a new home. Soon Kerney is offered work trailing cattle to the New Mexico Territory-a job that will forever change his life.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“As anyone familiar with his excellent crime novels knows, Michael McGarrity really gets—and loves—the Southwest: its colors, its rhythms, its blessings, its cussedness. Here McGarrity moves back in time to explore New Mexico’s frontier past and in the process gives us something most unusual these days: an expansive, lyrical period Western in the tradition of A. B. Guthrie, Jr., and Larry McMurtry. Savor this one—they don’t make cowboy epics like this anymore.”
—Hampton Sides, bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers and Blood and Thunder
“Hard Country is aptly titled, and the reader will take a spectacular journey with real people settling the West. There is inescapable action of the gun, the earth, the sky, and the heart. This is a western that women will love.”
—Max Evans, author of The Rounders
