"THE SCORPION TRAIL possesses the grit and swirl of dust kicked up from the heels of a galloping steed, carried swiftly on a hard west Texas wind."

-- Mike Blakely

 

 "Larry D. Sweazy takes you on a fierce ride with his memorable Texas Ranger Josiah Wolfe. This crisp, well-written story returns you to the West as it really was - and you'll like being there."

-- Cotton Smith

 

"Larry D. Sweazy writes a lively blend of mystery, action, and historical realism."

-- John D. Nesbitt

 

"Larry D. Sweazy's Josiah Wolfe books promise to stand among the great western series."

-- Loren D. Estleman

 

 

"The fourth book in the Josiah Wolfe, Texas Ranger (THE COUGAR'S PREY) series is a gem among gems. Sweazy is a superb storyteller, and this quick moving yarn is cut from tightly woven cloth. He breathes life into the frontier and readers are immersed in the sights, sounds, and ever-present threat of death lurking at every corner. I was on edge from page 1 to the end wondering if a willful, driven Josiah could possibly survive."

 

  -- Phil Dunlap

 

 

"Sweazy spins a good yarn." 

 

-- Rita Kohn, Nuvo 4 star review
