Summary
A pissed-off warlock with a taste for revenge.
An army of sand-golems with fistfuls of magic.
A wishing well with a mind of its own.
No wonder Blackpeak, Texas never got its spot on the map.
Town marshal Elias Faust thinks that he can make any problem go away if he throws enough lead at it. The living’s easy for a lawman. Bloody, but easy - that is, until Magnate Gregdon arrives with his undead syndicate to tear the town of Blackpeak, Texas apart.
When a shootout with a pair of outlaws goes sideways, Elias Faust accidentally draws the Magnate’s attention. As if dealing with arcane sorcery, reanimated corpses, and the Magnate’s personal vendetta aren’t enough, Faust finds himself at the center of a power-struggle for Blackpeak’s eldritch secrets.
Suddenly, staying alive just got a lot more complicated.
Hunted by a cadre of sandshades and hounded by sinister spellcraft, Elias Faust may be the only bag of skin defiant enough to keep Blackpeak from being destroyed. To outlast the Magnate’s disciples, he’ll need to shoot straighter, run faster, and live longer…even if it means sacrificing a part of himself to do just that.

A Fantastic Tale Elevated By Excellent Narration
Before this book initially came out, I was given an ARC of the digital version, and I loved it to such an extent that when this audiobook finally dropped I just threw my credits at it.
His Ragged Company is an excellent fantasy-western, and it is elevated to new heights with John Pirhalla's superb narration, delivering lines with the confidence of some characters and the unsettling verbiage of others. He fills the story with so much life that I think this is the optimal way to experience this book, as it is just a faultless adventure you'll want to be a part of.
Book 2 now, please.

Wonderful weird western
His Ragged Company is one of those novels where the narrator, in this case Elias Faust, is a terrific and memorable presence. Think Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye, for example. This is to say the voice is so fantastically rendered by the author that the character ensconces himself in your head and refuses to leave. He is, of course, ably supported here too.
This weird western adventure has it all. Humour, tragedy, action, shootouts, dark magic, and plenty of whiskey. You won’t want to miss it.
