Fort Misery is a standalone entry in J.A. Johnstone’s Western catalog, published in 2023. The novel centers on Captain Joe Hawken and his posting at the worst assignment in the Army. The outpost sits deep in the Arizona Territory, surrounded by Apache warriors, scorching heat, and miles of empty desert. The garrison is made up of soldiers nobody else wanted, and the fort itself is barely standing.

Hawken is not the type to complain about his lot, though. He is a career military man who has survived worse, and he is determined to hold Fort Misery no matter what comes at them. The book mixes frontier military fiction with classic Western action. Readers who enjoy stories about isolated outposts and stubborn men refusing to give ground will find plenty to like here.
