Justice of the Star: A Jack Sage Western

by Donald L. Robertson

U.S. Marshal Jack Sage has a talent, the ability to face death and remain calm. It has served him well over his years in the military and as a lawman. But will it continue?

In the past, Jack has had nothing to lose but his life. Now the circumstances have changed. Two young boys and a beautiful war widow await his return in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

His assignment, by the president of the United States, is to hunt down and capture or kill a gunman known for his speed and accuracy. The gunman killed the son of a U.S. senator, a friend of the president.

Now Jack is searching the west and his mind. Will his heart still be in his work when he needs it the most, or, with so much to lose, will his concern cloud his eyes and slow his hands?

About the author

I am a retired Southwest Airlines pilot. My wife Paula and I, live with our Chihuahua, Gabe, in Mesa, Arizona in a 55+ Golf Resort even though we don't play golf. It affords my wife a very active lifestyle while I spend my time writing. As a child, I enjoyed going to the Saturday matinee and spending the day watching westerns and daydreaming about the old west. I shared a passion with one of my aunts and read every western I could get my hands on. John Wayne was my favorite actor and Louis L'Amour my favorite writer. I miss those days where the good guys win, they treat the ladies right, have honor and are trustworthy. So, in about 2014, I started writing my own westerns and became quite shocked that people enjoyed them. I am so thankful to those of you who read my books, take the time to write reviews and email me. John Wayne said it best when he said "without you, I wouldn't be here". Please accept my deepest appreciation.

Better than ever. The latest Jack Sage is more complex. More human. More Jack. Another 5 star hit from D.l. Robertson. Can't wait for the next one.

Just get married

This book 7was A quick read for. The book completed Jack Sage history and many previous points filled in, i.e., his personality and history made him a man of honor. He lived the life with honesty and grace. While have a goog "heart" he was "hard" when he had to be. He did not like to kill but some people just need to leave this. Time has changed nothing!! I did not like the ending as it was too "abrupt.

A great and thrilling story of law and justice.

The author has written an excellent story of a US Marshal’s life as he does the job of bringing outlaws to justice and is also trying to finally establish a new life for himself and the women he loves. A story full of action that will definitely keep you entertained.

The best of the series !

While the action is nearly non-stop, we get a deep look into who Jack is. more insight of his trials and tribulations. He's not a super hero. He's plaqued with all the same weaknesses,doubts ,mistakes, and burdens of anyone who lives a life of danger,responsibility, and lonely dedication. BRAVO Mr. Robertson !

Excellent

As usual the author has provided readers with an outstanding western novel which embodies quality writing, a strong storyline and terrific characters. There is plenty of action and a little romance in this fast paced entertaining read. As always, I look forward to his next book in whichever series it is set!

Another Jack Sage Winner

The Jack Sage series to this date has been just marvelous! To think that I need to wait until December to complete this series is
Hard to take.
Thank heavens that Robertson has several other books but I’m thinking “No Jack”.

The Jack Sage series is wonderful series of stories of the old west. Good character development and beautifully descriptive storytelling of the western states and the time after the Civil War. Looking for ward toybook #8. Quick reads and really enjoyed them all.

A very good read. I highly recommend it

Mr Robertson is a great western writer and he has several endearing characters. I hope Mr Robertson will keep churning out great western stories

[Dana Saylor]

Another good one! Jack Sage is a man to be reckoned with or without a star. His ability to survive, honed by years of death defying experiences, prepared him for dealing with the worst of the worst, even when it seemed impossible.
