The Reckoning: A Western Adventure
A brand new adventure from Dave P. Fisher!
Jack and Long Rider rode into the railroad town of Rawlins Springs to see if there was any validity to the Carbon County Sheriff’s claim that his outlaw problem was so great that he couldn’t help Mrs. Corbyn. They found the sheriff to be a governor appointee, who spent more time in Cheyenne with his political friends, than in Carbon County doing his job. He was gone as usual, and in his place was an unpopular, self-appointed deputy, named Toby Tucker.
The name clicked in Jack’s head – Tucker. Toby was the son of Tobias Tucker, the man who had stolen the Seaver race horse farm. Tobias then, could not be far away. Jack dug in; determined to burn the Tuckers to the ground. There would be a reckoning for Tucker’s destruction of his family’s life. What began to unfold was a chain of crime linking Rawlins Springs, all the way back to Arkansas, and beyond. The only way the Tuckers could stop Jack was to kill him. The ambush left him for dead, but Jack Seaver was a man hard to kill. He wanted reckoning, and he would have it!

About the author
Dave P. Fisher
114 books39 followers I have been a writer of adventure novels of the Old West. I have now branched out to writing contemporary crime novels with a suspense/mystery base. What I feel makes these unique is that they are set in the modern West and Alaska, as opposed to exotic world and big city settings. They involve average people and local law enforcement agencies.
My writing influence comes from my ancestral roots. Mountain men, voyageurs, pioneers, and explorers make up the branches of my family tree. My paternal grandfather was Blackfoot Indian from Montana. My maternal grandfather was a Minnesota lumberjack, both men were born in the 1800’s.
As a lifelong outdoorsman I have inherited that pioneer blood and followed in the footsteps of both my families. I have experienced life in the Alaska bush, as well as the wilderness of the Rocky and Cascade Mountains, as a working cowboy, guide, horsepacker, hunter, and trapper.
I also spent several years as a Colorado Deputy Sheriff. This experience in the law enforcement field allows me an intimate insight to the system that I weave into my new crime genre stories.
I incorporate all of my experiences into my stories to ingrain them with authenticity and draw the reader into the story by their realism and a personal knowledge of the people and lifestyle involved.
I have near to 500 fiction and non-fiction works published. Included are: 19 novels and short story collections, 70 short stories, and inclusion in 18 anthologies. I am the first 3 time winner of the Will Rogers Medallion Award, in 2008 for Best Western Fiction, and again in 2013 for Best Western Humor, and 2014 for Best Western Novel. Nine of my short stories have earned Reader’s Choice Awards.

great Story
I like these guys. They are quite compatible and comical. They get the jobs done wherever they go. The writing is great and things move along. It never gets boring as things continually happen. Each story gets better than the last.

Skookum!
Lots of bad guys in this one. Almost seemed like they out numbered the good ones. The dry humor of the two main characters still gives me a few good laughs, or "something".This author is definitely a keeper, highly recommend.

Awesome story
A great book, I can’t get enough of these two characters. There is only one other series I like as much as this one.
