The Greenhorn's Badge
(2026)(The first book in the John Hagen Western series)
A novel by Robert Hanlon and Cherokee Parks
John Hagen was just a blacksmith chasing a fresh start when the wagon train he joined was ambushed in a narrow canyon. With the captain dying in his arms and a bone-handled knife pressed into his hand, John is given one final order: get the survivors to Hope’s Crossing.
What he finds is a half-built settlement on the edge of nowhere, already under the shadow of disciplined riders who strike without mercy and watch without hurry. When the town pins a tin star on his chest, John becomes the reluctant lawman standing between desperate families and an enemy who believes fear is the only thing that holds.
As the siege closes in and old wounds tear open, John must decide what kind of marshal he’ll be—one who answers violence with violence, or one who bets everything on trust, even when it costs him blood and the people he’s sworn to protect.
In the tradition of the great Westerns, The Greenhorn’s Badge is a gripping tale of leadership forged in fire, the brutal cost of mercy, and one man learning that fixing what’s broken sometimes means standing between a town and the dark.
