The Hand Of Westerns by Duane Boehm is a trilogy built around themes of destiny, paternal legacy, and the pursuit of justice on the American frontier. The series begins with Hand Of Fate (2019), continues with Hand Of The Father (2020), and concludes with Hand Of Justice (2021). Each title plays on the word “hand,” connecting the stories thematically.
Hand Of Fate also appears in the Wild Horse Westerns series, linking the two sets of stories through overlapping characters and settings. This kind of cross-series connection is common in Boehm’s work, where the same frontier world serves as the backdrop for multiple storylines.
The trilogy is more tightly structured than some of Boehm’s other work, with three books that form a clear beginning, middle, and end. Readers who enjoy this series should also check out the longer Gideon Johann series for a deeper look at Boehm’s take on the post-Civil War West.
