They came to sell cattle. They stayed for a war. In the bustling port of Alvarado, fortunes are made, smuggled, and stolen every day. For John Donovan and his crew, it's supposed to be a quick-and-dirty job: deliver a load of cloned cattle, collect the credits, and move on to the next job. But Alvarado doesn't do "quick." Not when two rival families are locked in a blood feud over control of the port. Not when every barfight could turn into a gunfight. And definitely not when Donovan finds himself caught between loyalty, business-and the wrong woman. What starts as a simple trade spirals into gang warfare, double-crosses, and a high-stakes hustle where everyone's aiming to come out on top-or just come out alive. FRONTIERSMEN: BLOOD FEUD ON ALVARADO is the second installment in the gripping space western saga of smugglers, outlaws, and backwater wars-perfect for fans of Firefly and The Mandalorian. When family is war, every handshake can kill. Wes Andrews, born in 1977, has sat on the back of a horse, carried a Colt on his hip, and slept in boots night after night. When he's not writing novels, he watches old movies, roams through nature, or plays cards with rough men. He lives with his wife and animals in a sleepy town in the south and is delighted that people are no longer forced to settle their neighborhood disputes on the street at noon. That aside, Wes Andrews is the pseudonym of an award-winning author who has also written for the Star Trek franchise. And although none of the above is a lie, it should not be taken too seriously.
