Author Description

A brand new Western adventure from 'Big' Jim Williams. If you love your Western novels action-packed, fast-paced and filled with great characters-- grab this great novel from one award-winning Western author!Young Texas Ranger Jake Silverhorn, a Civil War Union veteran, joins Captain Ash Rollins and other ex-Confederates seeking BORDER JUSTICE when entering Mexico to recapture stolen cattle from Delgado, an outlaw killer and kidnapper. On the way there they hang an escaped killer, face an Apache attack, rainstorms and shootouts, and a cattle baron with more illegitimate children than his crazy nude wife (while holding a pistol to his head) can stand. Also tales of a "stuffed" Ranger mounted in a saloon, legendary Texas Ranger "Bigfoot" Wallace, Jake's romance with a dying Civil War nurse, a slave's escape north, and a humpbacked old man whose shotgun keeps a thirsty Jake from a trickling stream called DIME CRICK. There's Lonnie, a young, bumbling Ranger who breaks his leg and is captured by the border bandits, and harmonica-playing Yancy, a Ranger and ex-soldier of the South who hates "Lincoln's War of Northern Aggression" and needles Jake for his Yankee past. The novel ends as Jake and a beautiful young kidnapped woman escape the border bandits and Mexican cavalry in a deadly gun battle, crossing the storm-swollen Rio Grande back into Texas. BORDER JUSTICE is a novel filled with shootouts, a knife fight, a devastating fire, romance, and humor---a prequel to Williams' 2016 novel, JAKE SILVERHORN'S REVENGE. Big Jim's breakout novel, CATTLE DRIVE, won the Western Fictioneers' 2014 Award for Best First Novel.
