The Firestick series stars three ex-mountain men who traded trapping and wilderness living for badges in Buffalo Peak, West Texas. Firestick McQueen is the town marshal, and his two old partners serve as his deputies. They know how to handle guns and rough country, which comes in handy when outlaws and troublemakers ride into town.
Published between 2018 and 2019, the three Firestick books offer a twist on the typical Johnstone lawman setup by giving readers three protagonists instead of one. The dynamic between the three friends adds variety to the action, and their mountain man backgrounds tie them loosely to the larger Johnstone wilderness tradition represented by the Preacher and Mountain Man series.
