The Gunsmith Giant #2
The Life and Times of Clint Adams
The brainchild of Amazon Kindle Number One bestselling western writers Mike Stotter and Ben Bridges, PICCADILLY PUBLISHING is dedicated to reissuing classic fiction from Yesterday and Today!
THE LIFE AND TIMES OF CLINT ADAMS
Clint Adams has had enough of being the Gunsmith. Tired of drawing attention wherever he goes – tired of strangers who drew down on him just to make a name for themselves. So when a Boston writer offers Clint the chance to write his life story, he thinks that this is a good way to set the record straight.
But before he can write The Life and Times of Clint Adams, there are some questions to be answered: What is the writer not telling him and why is he being followed by two strangers? Clint decides it’s best not hang up his gunbelt for the pen, just yet.
Big adult action adventure doesn’t get much better than Clint Adams, The Gunsmith.

More Western Action Perfection!!!!
Once again J. R. Roberts delivers absolute western action perfection with the further adventures of Clint Adams aka The Gunsmith. This is absolute raw action packed adventure for men who are still real men, and not politically correct sissy boys.

After having read two books in this series now, I'm not sure it's for me. I really want to like it. I like the premise. I like the plot descriptions of both this and the first book I read, Trouble in Tombstone. Both books suffer from what, to me, is a flaw, but to many other reviewers is apparently what they're looking for in these books–that being an overabundance of gratuitous sex scenes. I have nothing whatsoever against those kinds of scenes in and of themselves; when I was in middle school, I would've eaten this stuff up! But if I'd wanted to read Penthouse Forhm, I would read Penthouse Forum. It wouldn't be so bad if the rest of the story were more suspenseful. As it stands, though, it feels like the story is just a framework in which to drop these sex scenes, with an obligatory gunfight to justify calling the series The Gunsmith. In reading reviews of other books in this series, it seems I can look forward to more of the same if I continue to read. Obviously, this formula is working for many people. There are over 400 books in the series to date. I just don't think it's going to work for me.
