'Enthralling' The Times on the Jack Lark series

In the midst of civil war, America stands divided. Jack Lark has faced both armies first hand, but will no longer fight for a cause that isn't his.

1863, Louisiana. Jack may have left the battlefield behind, but his gun is never far from reach, especially on the long and lonely road to nowhere. Soon, his skill lands him a job, and a new purpose.

Navy Colt in hand, Jack embarks on the dangerous task of escorting a valuable wagon train of cotton down through Texas to Mexico. Working for another man, let alone a man like the volatile Brannigan, isn't going to be easy. With the cargo under constant attack, and the Deep South's most infamous outlaws hot on their trail, Jack knows he is living on borrowed time.

And, as they cross the border, Jack soon discovers that the usual rules of war don't apply. He will have to fight to survive, and this time the battle might prove one he could lose.

I enjoyed this audio book up to the end where the conclusion to the story left me disappointed. It make no sense. It seemed to me a very woke ending. Obviously for those who are going to read or listen to book I don’t want to give the ending away. Overall I did enjoy the book and thought it was very well written, the action scenes are exiting, gory, bloody and you get a real feel for the old west and civil war era. I will definitely try this author again.

These books started out with an original idea and decent story lines, partly spoilt by the authors apparent lack of descriptive adjectives for the never ending line of 'beautiful women' he keeps meeting along the way. This book, however, I feel was lazy, constant descriptions of gore do not make up for a lack of plot - there are better western writers out there and this story was thin, even using a version of the Alamo, writ small, as a finale. The ending was predictable from the moment the 'baddy' made fun of Jack's sword. Sorry, really the author can and has done better. One final note, Jack seems to have become more stupid and less cunning as the books have progressed.
