Beschreibung des Verlags
The Chosen: a prophecy older than dirt and more dangerous than death. Even as they perfected steam-powered gadgetry and rounded up varmints from Hell, the Jackson brothers didn't believe in it. But when the chips are down, three brothers named for weapons aren't going out without a fight. . .
A Walk On The Wild Side
Attorney by day, demon-hunter by night, Remington Jackson is used to being on the sunny side of the law, even in the Wild West. But it's showdown time, and Remy and his brothers are getting desperate. They don't have the relic they need to slam the door shut on evil--so Remy is going to have to find and steal part of it.
Enter China McGee, shapeshifter, thief, beauty, and current prisoner. When Remy offers her freedom in exchange for a little light-fingered help, she's pretty sure she's going to end the association with a good old-fashioned seductive double cross. But there's something about fighting through a jungle full of Mayan ruins that makes you want to settle down together. China could change. Remy might be special. But none of that matters if the devil takes them all. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Darkin forces are preparing to take over the world in the conclusion of Meyers's Legend Chronicles (after The Hunter and The Slayer) in which brothers Colt, Remington, and Winchester Jackson seek the missing pieces of the Book of Legend. Middle brother Remington joins forces with Darkin shape-shifter China McGee to chase down and recover a piece hidden inside an ancient Aztec temple. Remington needs China, but doesn't trust her and rightly so, since China is scheming to steal the completed book and hand it over to her father, the archdemon Rathe. Sparks fly long before Remington and China make love, as they argue, fight Darkin foes, and figure out how to get past the magical traps protecting the book. This western-steampunk-adventure-paranormal romance successfully executes on all its elements, with echoes of Indiana Jones. Some of the critical moments feel a little flat, but the leadup to the final battle is a fitting conclusion to the series.
