“The United States ends at these gates. This is Joshua’s Country, jefe.”

Born-and-raised a cowboy, Vietnam vet Joshua Jacobs looks out across the West Texas plain. All the land stretching to the uncluttered western horizon is his. From just a patch of land he built an empire, one he runs by his own rules. Yet, Joshua learned a hard lesson ... that his family couldn’t be run the same way.

Joshua deeply regretted not being on speaking terms with his only son when James died serving his country. James’s wife Katy never forgave Joshua for trying to run their lives. Heartache upon heartache, Joshua’s beloved wife Sarah passed not long after. Now, the only legacy Joshua has left is his grandson, but like his dad and granddad before him, young Josh also chose to serve his country. Joshua spends his days waiting for letters from him.

In the latest letter, young Josh said he was thinking of finally leaving the military to take his place on the ranch at his grandfather’s side. Joshua was overjoyed, but his joy was cut short when he saw a picture of his grandson on the news. The report said young Josh was taken hostage by the head of the most violent ISIS unit, known as the “Storm Demons.” Their leader, Shakir was infamous for beheading his hostages and broadcasting the horrors online to the world.

Threatening Joshua Jacobs’ grandson was a mistake.

Now, an Islamic Extremist’s hate for America faces an old cowboy’s love for his grandson. From the creator of the Amazon-bestselling action & adventure CRIS DE NIRO and ARCHANGEL thriller series, Gerard de Marigny.

I Loved It!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2018

I couldn't put this one down. There is plenty of plot, action likeable characters and even the opportunity for a cry (if you are that way inclined).

Joshua the grizzled cowboy determined to protect to his own is a great character to get behind. His grandson comes across as a younger version of Joshua but with some cocky tricks up his sleeve (learnt from his 'uncles').

This story is fast paced and has plenty to keep you reading, the interesting disjointed family dynamic and how in times of crisis family will always stick together!

I have been fortunate to be given a copy of this book by Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review. The books I'm being sent are getting better and better and I can't wait to read the next one from Mr de Marigny, that's in my queue.

Thank you

Joshua's Country is a brilliant book. The people who make the story so interesting are from such different backgrounds that it keeps you wanting to know more about them. It's edge of the seat action when things start to happen. The conclusion is what you wait for and the happy ending except for the loss of a friend who gave his life to save his family. If you like fast moving, edge of seat action this is it. Great read brilliant plot. Good defeats evil, you won't be disappointed.

I was given a free copy from Voracious Readers Only.

This was an interesting combination of a thriller and western novel. I was not sure if it would work but the writing was able to pull it all together very well. The fight scenes and the locations felt very realistic.

I found it an easy read but I was uncomfortable with the subject matter itself. But overall I thought it was well worth a read.

To be honest it wasn’t my usual genre so I may not be the best judge but I was uncomfortable with the violence and bloodshed. However I understand that many people enjoy these action-packed stories, and I did find it well-written with interesting characters. I see that there are other books in the series but I do not feel tempted to read them.

Certainly action packed

Reviewed in Canada on 11 January 2019

I received a copy of this book for review through Voracious Readers. For a relatively short novel, there's a lot going on and many characters with their histories explained. There are some errors in the book, (tow the line, when the expression should be 'toe the line') and continuity (hoods off/on when they are captive). Exciting, but the terrorists are almost caricatures and the final shootout is implausible. Having said that, it would make a great movie that would appeal to the American audience.

A fun read, reminiscent of good old westerns. John Wayne, of course, would have played Joshua.

Joshua's Country is an action packed adventure. It is well written and the characters are well developed. It is difficult to put down once you start reading it. Action all the way through until the end. A great read!

combines military thriller and western in an excellent story.

Reviewed in the United States on 20 August 2018

Joshua Jacob, a former marine , is a Texas rancher whose set ways and expectations drove his son away. When his son is killed while serving in the military, Joshua places his hopes on his grandson Josh to eventually take over the ranch. Josh is currently serving in the Marines, but is planning his future on the ranch.

In a raid on his base, Josh is one of a dozen prisoners taken by Isis. A daring escape enraged Shakir, the Isis leader, who vowed revenge against Josh and his family. Taking his fight to Texas, however, was not a wise decision. Joshua will do whatever it takes to protect his family.

Gerard de Marigny has written a story that is a combination military thriller and western. It is populated with characters that you really come to care for. Joshua lives by a code of honor and considers the people who work with him as his extended family. He is respected by those who know him and when family is threatened they all stand together.

I am not a big western fan, but I could not put this book down. De Marigny writes scenes that are easy to visualize. This is a book that would make a terrific movie and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I would like to thank Voracious Readers and the author for making this book available in exchange for an honest review.

I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only. Joshua Jacobs is a Texan who after returning from the Vietnam War builds an impressive spread with the help of some of his devoted friends. The story is about the struggles of him wanting his son and grandson to continue in his footsteps. Both his son and grandson choose military service over the ranch. Very good book, deals with a wide variety of issues from ISIS to illegal immigration and more.

This was a great action book that I had to finish before putting it down. I liked the diversity of the characters on the ranch and how they came together to protect their own. The different locales and having more than one villain held my interest.

Underlying message of reality.

Reviewed in the United States on 14 October 2018

A story that opens readers eyes to the reality of terrorist involvement here in the United States. Joshua's Country is a way of keeping people safe from harm, but despite how prepared he is, evil still enters his world. It makes the reader think that America is not immune to the evil and dangerous actions of the Middle East.
