Summary

In "The Land of Frozen Suns," Bertrand W. Sinclair crafts a captivating narrative set against the backdrop of the early 20th century Alaskan frontier. The novel vividly portrays the interplay between the harsh, unforgiving landscape and the resilient spirit of its inhabitants, employing a literary style that blends rich, evocative descriptions with a deep psychological exploration of characters facing moral dilemmas. Sinclair'Äôs thematic exploration of survival and human connection amidst isolation resonates powerfully, reflecting the broader cultural tensions of the era, particularly concerning the clash between civilization and wilderness. Bertrand W. Sinclair, a notable figure in American literature, drew upon his own experiences as a prospector and adventurer in the Alaskan territory to inform the narrative. His familiarity with the region'Äôs rugged beauty and inherent dangers imbues the text with an authentic sense of place and atmosphere. Sinclair's insights into the human condition, formed through his encounters and observations of frontier life, lend depth to his portrayal of both individual and collective struggles. This novel is a must-read for enthusiasts of early American literature and those captivated by tales of exploration and human endurance. Sinclair'Äôs masterful storytelling invites readers into a world where the beauty of the natural landscape contrasts sharply with the internal and external conflicts faced by those daring enough to call it home, making it a poignant reflection on resilience.

    Johnstone Country. Where life is a gamble. 
 
 
 
The national bestselling authors of violent, bullet-riddled Old West yarns return to the Texas frontier town where Sheriff Buck Jackson and Deputy Flint Moran are quickly learning that enforcing the law means being fastest on the draw—or being killed by someone quicker . . . 
 
 
 
Welcome to Tinhorn, Texas. Now go home. 
 
 
 
Two drifters, flush with cash and looking to buy cattle, arrive in town—one nursing a bullet wound he claims he received accidentally when his friend was cleaning his gun. Jackson and Moran are suspicious but have no reason to challenge their story—until four more drifters show up looking for the first two. Moran may not be lightning quick when it comes to numbers, but reports say the Wells Fargo office was held up by six men . . . 
 
 
 
But Moran is going to need more bullets. He's been called upon to go after Abel Crowe and his three sons on a murder and kidnapping charge. And with Jesse Slocum breaking out of prison to wreak vengeance on Sheriff Jackson, who killed Slocum's brother, the young deputy is going to make his name one bullet at a time—or die trying . . .
