Synopsis: Legendary nationally bestselling Western authors return with a brand-new West Texas–set series for their legions of loyal fans.WILL THIS BE . . . THE LAST WAGON TRAIN? A new railroad line is coming to Hansen&’s Bend—and the Old West will never be the same. Especially for the Callahans. They&’ve been running the local wagon train outfit for years. But now a pompous rail boss named Arbuckle wants to put them out of business. This big-city weasel mocks the Callahans&’ &“slow-poke&” wagons—and bets he can finish laying track all the way to the end of the line before Callahan&’s wagon train even makes it over the mountains. Callahan accepts the challenge—and gets gunned down before it even starts . . . But the contest isn&’t over. The wagoner&’s son, Luke &“Tomahawk&” Callahan, has returned to Hansen&’s Bend after five years as an army scout. He knows nothing about the rail boss&’s challenge or his father&’s murder—until he sees the newspaper headline: &“The Last Wagon Train?&” The pretty lady journalist who wrote it wants to ride along and follow this story to the end. And of course, Tomahawk wants to defend his father&’s honor and avenge his death. But Arbuckle has sent his henchmen to sabotage the wagon train to make sure Tomahawk and his wagons are dead on arrival . . .
