Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a real Western, the kind movies are made of with stars like Paul Newman or Lee Marvin who, by the way, acted in the movie Pocket Money made from Brown's earlier book Jim Kane. Wolves at Our Door is a strong, fast paced, tough story of cowboys today living in a cowman's world surrounded by the real dangers of drug wars on both sides of the US Mexico border. Characters from Jim Kane and The Forests of the Night continue in this new book in a tough and thrilling story. In my mind I can see Clint Eastwood playing the lead in a movie version of this book. It is a better story than Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West (Modern Library) or All the Pretty Horses.

Along the border of southern Arizona and northern Mexico, a close-knit group of Anglo and Hispanic families struggle to keep their ranches alive amidst the depredations of drug lords and smugglers. Here, age-old values collide with gangs of hardened border criminals in a raw tale of action, adventure, and justice.
J. P. S. Brown opens a window onto a part of the world that few have seen and even fewer have understood, offering a view of the world of cattle ranching in an area where homes are still without electricity or plumbing, where ranches are reachable only by plane or horseback, and where neighbors are family or deadly foes.
