This is the second novel by Erik Storey involving the Nomadic character Clyde Barr. Barr has roamed westward and finds himself coming across a fallen ill, elderly Ute Native. the new adventure starts as Barr tries to do the right thing and get the elderly man to medical help. Trouble soon starts when Barr encounters the Reapers, a violent motorcycle gang that has seemed to take over the area for a yet unknown reason.
To find the help the man needs, Barr postpones a confrontation with the Reapers and moves along, soon to meet the family of the Ute native. Barr then agrees to help the family while the man recuperates and slowly erodes their skepticism over Barr's good nature.
Barr further gains the attention of the Reapers after interceding when a Native youth becomes one of their victims. This then starts Barr's journey toward confrontation while trying to find out why a motorcycle gang would settle down in a barren land of few resources and even less law and order.
Storey has created a good series for summer reading peppered with interesting characters and story lines.

This thriller was unique to me. Different setting and characters then I would normally pick up, but did after referral by The Real Book Spy.
The story is set in a small village of Utes who's town is overrun by a biker gang known as the Reapers. Trouble ensues, and The Protagonist Clyde Barr finds himself in the thick of the trouble even though he was just riding through town, after saving a Rancher from a heart attack.
Clyde seems to thrive on trouble and likes the action and fighting, but that's not what The Utes want, they just want the Reapers to leave.
As the story unfolds, another threat shows its hands that explains the presence of bikers in this remote village.
This was a very faced paced and action packed thriller that I was able finish in only 3 days. Even though Clyde Barr is a new character for me, I am intrigued enough to go find the first novel in this series and give it a go.

This was OK. I liked the main female character and I'm glad but it was overall just kind of OK. Maybe would have given 3 1/2 stars if we had a half star rating.

Good story, fast paced. Very like Jack Reacher books, possibly too much so, but worth a read if you're a Reacher fan.
