An old cowboy. A captured Marine. A terrorist coming for them both.

Joshua Jacobs is a hard man who has spent a lifetime building the Double-J into one of the largest ranches in Texas. A former Marine, fiercely independent and feared by nearly everyone who crosses his gates, Joshua rules his vast spread by a simple understanding: Inside these fences, this is Joshua’s Country.

But beneath his iron will is a man hollowed by loss. His beloved wife is gone. His only son died before they could reconcile. And the family that remains has never forgiven Joshua—or allowed him to forgive himself.

Then his grandson, Marine Sergeant Joshua Jacobs II, is taken prisoner during a brutal terrorist assault in Iraq.

When the young Marine finally returns to Texas, he does not come home alone. The men who captured him have followed—and their leader intends to finish what began overseas.

Now an aging cowboy, his wounded grandson, and the fiercely loyal men and women of the Double-J must defend their families against an enemy trained to kill without mercy. But as the battle closes in, Joshua discovers that saving his land may require more than rifles, courage, and an old Marine’s instincts.

It may require him to confront the pride that shattered his family—and accept the second chance he never believed he deserved.

Set against the sweeping ranchlands of West Texas, Joshua’s Country is a relentless modern Western thriller about loyalty, sacrifice, family, and one unforgettable showdown between an Islamic extremist and a cantankerous American cowboy.
