Seaside Books has republished Chris Scott Wilson''s western The Quantro Story.
When Quantro found himself bleeding to death from a bullet wound, he wondered if this day would be the last he would ever see the sun rise. The old west was a hard unforgiving place and there was no place more unforgiving than Mesa del Diablo, the Devil’s Plateau, in Arizona. There, the merciless sun seared and charred the desert and sucked the life out of everything that didn’t have spines or scales or a tail that rattled. For two years Quantro had ridden a trail of vengeance with only his Winchester and his faithful buckskin horse for company. Those men had taken everything from him. He knew he couldn’t get his life back, but he also knew that there are men who build things and there are men who create nothing, just rampage through the years taking what they want and destroying what they don’t. Somebody has to stop them. And Quantro did. But when it was over, it wasn’t quite over. He had been working the trail to Mexico. Now things didn’t look good. Out there among the rocks and scrub was a man eager to carve a notch on his gun. Quantro didn’t know who he was. But Quantro wasn’t going any place, wounded, his strength stolen by the sun and his will sapped by the loss of blood. Even his horse had been spooked and run. He also didn’t know about the white man and the renegade Apache riding toward him from the south. And he didn’t know how long the hungry buzzard circling above him would wait for its next meal before it closed in. One thing he did know. He didn’t want to die today. And most of all, he didn’t want to die here.
This book which garnered good reviews is now back on sale at Amazon for $2.99. "Another fine western by this Author. I have now read three by Chris Scott Wilson and the clever descriptive writing never fails to take you in to the time and places where his characters lived. The Quantro Story is an exciting 'ride' with the main character, who is relentless in his quest. Another 'can't put down' book. Well recommended." - Mike Eastwood (four stars) Find it here : https://www.amazon.com/Quantro-Story-Chris-Scott-Wilson-ebook/dp/B0982D7LLQ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=quantro+story&qid=1628935344&sr=8-1
