The Bad Lands

3.9/5 ( ratings)

To forget his past, Andrew Livingston leaves New York - and a terrible family tragedy - behind and journeys to the harsh Bad Lands of Dakota Territory. His marksmanship and true grit win him the respect of his frontier guides but his accent and wealth will forever brand him an outsider.

Taken with the grandeur of the land and the get-rich promises of the cattle boom. Livingston stakes a homestead claim on land another man wants - and walks right into a crossfire of hatred and greed. Here the only law comes from the barrel of a gun, and Livingston is about to find out who really controls this vast, wild country with lynchings, vigilante night raids, and outright murder Oakley Hall explores the heart and soul of the American West in this dramatic and unforgettable tale of a man forced to fight for his life in a country so dangerous and untamed its very name is legend.

Despite being in a trilogy, this is a standalone book.
