Sons of Thunder (A Slash and Pecos Western)
JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD.
Slash and Pecos match wits with the wiliest opponent they've ever had-a wickedly smart woman who can't be caught-in their wildest western adventure yet. . . .
It sounds like an easy job: track down the lady friend of notorious outlaw Duke Winter and bring her in for questioning. There's just one problem: Slash and Pecos have never met a woman like Miss Fannie Diamond, a glamorous showgirl who's prettier than a French poodle, slicker than a Dodge City gambler, and more slippery than a Mojave rattlesnake. She knows that Slash and Pecos are coming for her and has no intention of being caught-not without one of hell of a fight. . . .
By the time the duo arrive at the Rocky Mountain mining camp where Miss Diamond is performing, the devilishly clever gal has already arranged a welcome wagon for them: some hired thugs who knock Slash and Pecos silly. Still, the show must go on-so the pair decide to snatch Miss Diamond off the stage in the middle of a performance. It doesn't take long for Slash and Pecos to learn that there's no business like show business-and no showgirl like Miss Fannie Diamond. Sometimes, the female of the species is deadlier than the male. . . .

Sons of Thunder by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is another Slash and Pecos story and it's not the best in the series even though there are parts that are really funny. I do like a good western but this one is not really up there, sadly. I actually think that the author spreads himself to thin with all the series going on but most of them are really entertaining. I will continue reading the works of Johnstone and give thanks to Pinnacle, Kensington and Netgalley for providing me with hours of reading.

This is my first Slash and Pecos book, and I loved it! These two are good together, as they try to capture Miss Fannie to take her in for questioning. Ah, but it isn't so easy, and the stuff these two go through is amazing. And the story also involves Jay. who is one tough cookie! I am hooked on reading the Johnstone books, and I have a lot of catching up to do. In the meantime, if you're looking for a good western, this one is a great one to add to your reading list!
