Immaculate Killers

Guns of Seneca 6 #4

by Bernard Schaffer

Chamber four of the Sci-Fi Western Epic
On the night of the Beothuk raid on the Seneca 6 settlement, the townsfolk took up arms to fight the natives back. The fallout from that night was as mysterious as it was disastrous. Sheriff Sam Clayton rode off into the Beothuk territories, never to return. First Deputy Tom Masters supposedly succumbed to injuries while escorting a group of survivors across the wasteland. And perhaps most famously, the town's doctor vanished, leaving behind only the body of his beloved wife and several brutally murdered Seneca deputies and Beothuk.
That one night created a chain of events that led to complete upheaval, but nobody ever heard the full story. Not till now.
This is the tale one little girl, so affected by the raid and its aftermath that it would change her life forever. It would set her on a path of dark revenge and the burning desire to see things set right. But she couldn't do it alone, not by far. For this particular journey, she'd need the help of a man not afraid to die. A deadly, fast gunslinger with a taste for the blood of the unjust.
A man they call Doc Halladay.

Doc Halliday comes to the aid of Winnie, another person who's life was destroyed when Seneca was attacked many years ago. Good book, still had formatting issues, but an enjoyable read.

Immaculate Killers was the fourth book in the Seneca 6 series. This book was thankfully better than book 3 but not as good as the first book. There was less action, but at least the flashbacks had something to do with the story. Jem isn't really in this book at all, it focuses on Doc Halladay instead, which is a good character but I liked him better in the first book when he was teamed up with Jem. There were also way less editing errors in this book. Overall, I am giving this book 3 stars. It was better than the last book but no where near as good as the first book. This series started out strong, but it didn't stay that way and I won't be buying anymore of these books. This series was a serious disappointment. The first book was so good and I got very exciting about the rest of the series, but the 3 other books in the series didn't deliver the same level of entertainment as the first book.

This story is fantastic and focuses on one of my favorite characters from the original Guns of Seneca 6, Doc Halliday. A Doc Holliday pastiche (in case the name didn't give it away) who was every bit as fun to read about as the real life man himself. We did not get a great deal of story on what Halliday had been up to prior to the events of Chamber 1, but this story was a great romp in his past. So if you love classic westerns or a great weird western, this book is for you.
