The Devil's Blood
From the back Big Tappan Kittery had learned to kill in the War. Killing became a nightmare, but the end of the war was not like waking up, because the nightmare didn't end. The bloodshed continued around Kittery like a plague, with Arizona Territory as its breeding ground...and the Desperados Eight as its breeders. There was only one way for Kittery to stop the killing...Take down the Devil. With his seventh novel, The Devil's Blood, our author Kirby Jonas has put himself shoulder to shoulder with not only the greatest Western writers of all time, but in our opinion the greatest writers. Period. Jonas has developed his main character, Tappan Kittery, into the type of a character that anyone with any spirit of adventure would love to ride with, and he has woven this lawman's trail into a twisted web that the most jaded of readers will love.

A tribute to Clint Walker and Cheyenne
This is a new version of Jonas ' first two novels which were written as one book but published as two. The story is now again one book. After reading it I can see why the original publisher divided it into two volumes. There is actually enough material in this volume to make more than two novels. As usual with Mr. Jonas, the history, the locales, the equipment, the flora and fauna of Arizona, and the people are authentic. The book is dedicated to Clint Walker and he and his Cheyenne character live in these pages.

Read this during my spring break in 2013. Great story, loved the character development. Lots of twists in the story, some I anticipated, but many I did not. I was in the mood for a good western and was not disappointed!

Great Western Historical Novel
I've enjoyed all of the novels written by Kirby Jonas that I've read. I always wish that there were sequels to each novel instead of just a few. I'm impressed with Mr. Jones's knowledge of the history, the landscape and the people about whom he writes. You have a great gift, Kirby, and I hope you continue to write for many years to come!
