Welcome to Johnstone Country, where the West is wild, and danger lurks around every bend. Journey into the heart of peril with William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone's thrilling western novel, Dry Road to Nowhere. This gripping tale takes place in the turbulent Wyoming Territory, a land ravaged by the aftermath of the Civil War and haunted by the ever-present threat of conflict with native tribes.

In the midst of this untamed wilderness, two tenacious entrepreneurs, former Texas Ranger Butch Keeler and his rugged companion Tucker Cobb, have staked their claim. Together, they risk it all to establish the Frontier Overland Company—a daring stagecoach venture promising to traverse the harshest territories and deliver travellers safely to their destinations. They boast of courage and grit that few can match; yet, their latest venture just might be their most harrowing journey yet.

On this treacherous route, Keeler and Cobb find themselves accompanied by a diverse group of passengers, each with a stake in the journey. Among them is the steadfast Colonel McBride, determined to deliver vital supplies to Fort Washington, and his captivating niece, who is driven to reach the side of her ailing father. As they navigate this perilous path, surrounded by the looming threat of armed Lakota, Cheyenne, and other adversities, Butch and Cobb's resolve is tested to its limits.

However, an even more insidious threat shadows the stagecoach—a cunning and ruthless business rival, self-declared as "King," who harbours a vendetta against them. This adversary lies in wait, with a menacing plan to annihilate their operation and claim supremacy by any means necessary. Determined to defend their dream, Butch and Cobb must face this formidable foe, knowing that the very survival of the Frontier Overland Company hangs in the balance.

With relentless action and breathtaking suspense, Dry Road to Nowhere captures the essence of classic western adventure, where loyalty, courage, and resilience are tested against the unyielding backdrop of the American Frontier. It is a tale of survival, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of freedom in the face of overwhelming odds. Discover how far these men will journey to protect what they cherish most, even if it leads them down a dry road to nowhere.
