![Joshua's Country by [de Marigny, Gerard]](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51HcbkT0gKL._SY346_.jpg)
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.
Product Description
“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.
