Description

The eighteenth novel in the beloved New York Times bestselling Longmire series.

What if you woke up lying in the middle of the street in the infamous town of Fort Pratt, Montana, where thirty young Native boys perished in a tragic 1896 boarding-school fire? What if every person you encountered in that endless night was dead? What if you were covered in blood and missing a bullet from the gun holstered on your hip? What if there was something out there in the yellowed skies, along with the deceased and the smell of ash and dust, something the Northern Cheyenne refer to as the Éveohtsé-heómėse, the Wandering Without, the Taker of Souls? What if the only way you know who you are is because your name is printed in the leather sweatband of your cowboy hat, and what if it says your name is Walt Longmire . . . but you don’t remember him?

In Hell and Back, the eighteenth installment of the Longmire series, author Craig Johnson takes the beloved sheriff to the very limits of his sanity to do battle with the most dangerous adversary he’s ever faced: himself.

    Big disappointment! Fast forwarded through all of his ramblings and focused on Vic and Henry’s actions. Did not like it at all! I’ve read all of his other books and enjoyed them.
  • Good writing but strange story

    Craig Johnson has always had this great word usage that makes the characters so fresh and fleshed out but unfortunately this story dips too much into the supernatural making it feel like an outlier in the series. In the past, there may have been a scene or two but so much of this story is outside the physical world and it lost steam for me.
  • Great Read

    Reading this series for so long now,I feel like I am on a adventure with old friends. Walt, Bear and Vic are great characters and I’m always excited for a new book.

    Not a fan of this book. In over several thousand books that I have read I’ve never left a review, till now. There is no story to this book. I can save you a lot of wasted time. Guy gets hit in the head and has bad dreams while unconscious. End of story. It was terrible to even read. I’ve read and enjoyed all his other books. I’m not sure I will buy another one.

    I’ve loved Walt longmire and all of the books up to now. But this one is just horrible! Hard to follow. Way into the mastic that is just insanity. I honestly could not have been more disappointed. One more book like this and I’m done.
  • Probably One of His Best

    Terrific premise, kept my attention through every paragraph! Posed some really good questions along the way-if that's the last Walt Longmire, it's okay, because it was a good one....
