Being kind and giving it a 4 as it is light and easy reading, but at same time it is getting predictable. This is a bit longer chapter wise than the previous three, but I guess b/c there are more bad guys to bring to justice in the evil family. The maturity and sagacity of the 17 yr old hero is so far beyond his yrs both in his life responsibilities and his economic activities. This does add to the allure and charm of the novel, but to me sort of makes it fantasy. I mean build a financial empire in a few months and then see the hand writing on the wall that the bubble is going to burst, so sell quick. Wish we could all be that wise. Anyhow, plan to continue reading to see how the series ends.
I am enamored and overwhelmed with the way Monty R Garner writes the Card Jordan series. I’ve been reading western fiction for over 20 years. I’m 72 and spend hours reading westerns. I look for certain things from writers that keep me interested from beginning to end. Most of all I look for writers who include God in their stories through prayer or other means. I’m love to have a connection with Monty because I live in Duncan Oklahoma and he is from Sawyer, Oklahoma.
This is a great story with plenty of adventure. There is robbery, murder and orphans used for slave labor. Card was only 16 yrs old when his family was murdered but he rode out to seek vengeance and justice for his family. He matured quickly into a man after trailing and killing each man involved with the murder of his parents. He rescued the orphans from their torturers, married Maxine and adopted the 5 orphans. Good read.
Of the 3 previous books this was the best. I liked the children's story featured in this book It was nice to have a reprive fr om the bang bang your dead saga featured in the earlier books. There was still the killing ...what would you expect in a cowboy novel.. But not so reckless it seems.
Main story line and side vignettes same old theme, the innocent, the violent, the hero savior... La a note to follow sew, and there, enough words to satisfy review criteria.
I’ve read all four of the Monty R. Garner “Card Jordan” series westerns in succession . I could not stop reading until I finished all four. I highly recommend each and every one of these as FIVE STAR books. Monty please keep up your grate work.
