The Dog Team books are an unusual entry in the Johnstone catalog because they are not Westerns at all. The series is about a covert military strike team, and the action takes place in modern settings rather than on the frontier. The Last of the Dog Team, published in 1981, was one of William W. Johnstone’s earliest novels.

After the original 1981 book, the series returned in 2005 with The Return of the Dog Team, followed by two more sequels through 2010. These books are straight-ahead military action, with commando raids and covert operations replacing the six-shooters and horseback chases of the Johnstone Western lineup. Readers who know the Johnstones only from their Westerns may be surprised by this series.
