In this bold new series, a legendary gunslinger tries to outrun his past and start a new life. But after so many years, so many bullets—and so much bloodshed—he finds old habits die hard. And new enemies die harder . . .
THEY CALL HIM "TEXAS LIGHTNING"
His name is Jon Gage. Most folks know him as "Texas Lightning," the fastest draw in the West. Rumor has it he's killed more than thirty men in half as many years. His reputation as a gunslinger, widowmaker, and all-around hellraiser inspires awe, respect—and fear. But when an innocent woman dies in an ill-fated shootout, Gage decides it's time to drop his guns and change his wicked ways. There's just one problem:
There is no rest for the wicked.
A nameless drifter haunted by his past, Gage hopes to right the wrongs he committed. He's fighting on the side of the angels now, whether it's a widow losing her freight business, a wagon train of farmers in trouble, or a small-time rancher battling a big-time cattle baron. Wherever he goes, there are wicked men preying on the innocent—and some of them recognize Gage as the notorious Texas Lightning. Gage knows he can't outrun his demons. But he can still outgun them . . .

William Wallace Johnstone (1938–2004), born in southern Missouri, was a prolific American author, mostly of Western, horror, and survivalist novels. He began writing in 1970 but had his first novel, The Devil’s Kiss, published in 1979. After his death, it was announced that a carefully selected author had been chosen to carry on his legacy. J. A. Johnstone is continuing William W. Johnstone’s series.
J. A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone. He was the all-round assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time. The Loner marked the debut of Tennessee-based J. A. Johnstone as a solo author.
