Max Blake - Federal Marshal

Trail of Revenge

A novel by William Florence

The second installment in the Max Blake: Federal Marshal series is "Trail of Revenge."

Max sets his sights this time on the murderous outlaw sheriff of Aguante, Reno Walker, a chracter we met in the first installment of the Max Blake Western series, "The Killing Trail".

But this trail isn't an easy one: Max encounters a band of renegade gold thieves and a trailing squadron of U.S. Army cavalry regulars, a teamster and a former deputy sheriff who both want to see him dead, and a deadly tracker sent from Aguante to hunt Max down. And he continues to wrestle with his own personal demons as the elusive Paul Reyelts, the man who murdered his uncle, haunts his dreams. "Trail of Revenge" continues the highly praised Max Blake series with "some of the best writing you'll see in this genre today" (according to award-winning screenplay writer Peter VanderWall).

Here's what they're saying about Max Blake:

"Florence is a master at keeping the reader in a fast-paced game, even if he's holding all the good cards. There are more magical moments to make the reader wonder whether Max Blake is a lucky psychopath or a man you hope to meet someday. This book isn't just for those who like Westerns. This book is for those who like vigorous writing, the kind that makes readers pause only because hunger pains are clouding their mental ability to stay up with the good guys."

- Richard N. Thien
Founding Editor, USA TODAY

"Florence delightfully revises the romance of the Old West with Max Blake, a straight-talking, straight-shooting scourge to the vile and the crooked and the worst outlaws in the land."
