Fort Misery Series

The Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century return to Fort Misery—where the lowliest dregs of the U.S. calvary defend the driest patch of lawless desert against the gnarliest killers in the wild, wild West. Sometimes it takes a bad man with gun to stop another bad man with a gun . . .

They’re not what you’d call “the good guys.” They’re a mangy pack of dispicable deserters, thieves, mutineers, and worse. But as condemned soldiers in an overstretched army, they were given a choice: death by hanging or serving out their time in a hell on earth.

These men chose hell.

Located at the farthest edge of the Yuma Desert, Fort Grierson is a magnet for trouble. Vicious attacks by marauding Apaches, gunslinging outlaws, and bloodthirsty banditos are practically a daily occurrence—and the men holding down the fort are hardly any better. Hence the nickname Fort Misery. But when a rebel faction decides to break ranks and go AWOL, the fort’s exasperated commander—Captain Peter Joseph Kellerman—has to think fast and fight dirty to fend off a cutthroat band of Mexican renegades. Their goal: to steal the largest stash of gold in the territory—and slaughter every last man in the fort . . .

FORT MISERY LOVES COMPANY. THE MORE, THE DEADLIER.

The baddest men in the West battle for their lives against a relentless band of bloodthirsty prairie rats in Fort Misery—first in an electrifying new Western series from National Bestselling Authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone.

WHERE THE LAND IS UNTAMED—AND SO ARE THE DESPERADOS.

Captain Peter Joseph Kellerman was once a promising career soldier who’d proven his mettle in battle time and again. Now he’s fighting a battle with a whiskey bottle. He’s also in charge of Fort Benjamin Grierson, located west of hell, deep in Arizona Territory’s Mohawk Valley on the arid edge of the Yuma desert. The men under his command aren’t fit to wear the uniform. Killers, thieves, and ravagers condemned to death but who’ve chosen to serve, holding down the hated Fort Misery.

Santiago Lozado, the most wanted bandit on both sides of the border, has set his sights on Fort Misery. He wants vengeance against Kellerman for killing his son and has raised an army of brutal Apaches and Comancheros to slaughter every man wearing Union blue—only to encounter a wild bunch of desperate men unafraid of shedding blood and fighting to the death . . .
