Return To Canyon Creek

Luxton Danner and Wes Payne are back! This time they take on a ruthless land grabber.

In John Layne’s novel Return To Canyon Creek gunfighter Luxton Danner and his friend Wes Payne answer the call to stop a vicious and ruthless land baron, by the name of Gilford Cox, from taking over the town of Canyon Creek and the surrounding land.

He plans on acquiring all of the land and town to profit when a railroad passes through the territory.

He hires every no-good rustler, outlaw, gunslinger and anyone else who works for hire to terrorize the local inhabitants and to force them to sell him their land.

Only he never counted on Danner and Layne and several others to arrive and defend the town and its people.

It’s old-fashioned Western justice with plenty of shoot-outs, fights and ruckus as both side collide.

Return To Canyon Creek, published by Labrador Publishing, is written the way a true Western should be.

What I love about the book is the author takes time to flesh out each character and describes how life was in the Old West complete with dirt, dust and danger.

Gunfights are depicted accurately as real and men die, bullets do horrible damage and death is ever present.

Here’s to author John Layne.  I hope you continue to write the adventures of Danner and Payne for years to come.  I enjoy each of their tales and I can’t wait to read more.

Psalm 84:10 (NIV) “Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere; I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.”
