Hard Bullets

Gunn #10

by Jory Sherman

SHOT TO HELL

Set afoot in the wild country south of Tierra-Amarilla when his horse is killed by a rattler, Gunn hitches a ride into the town of Taos. The man who picks him up is Ethan Morgan, a gunsmith by trade. Traveling with his beautiful daughter Eva, Morgan is hauling a wagon loaded with guns and ammo to sell in town. They bed down for the night and when Gunn awakes the wagon is gone — and so is Ethan Morgan!

About the author

Jory Sherman was born in Minnesota and grew up in West Texas, Louisiana, and Colorado. He was a magazine editor for a time and had some of his work published, including some poetry, short stories and articles. Sherman had a friend who owned a publishing company and asked him to write a novel for the company. From that offer came five more novels, all written in one year. He wrote the supernatural mystery series, "Chill," which was somewhat revolutionary for the times, but which earned him an eight book contract. He then came up with the idea for "Rivers West," a series which had each book written by a different western author. Then came the "Baron Saga," the first of which was "Grass Kingdom" which earned Sherman a nomination for the Pulitzer Prize in Letters. Sherman has also won the Spur Award for his contribution to Western Literature.

[Tyler Cole · Rating 5 out of 5]

What an entertaining read! This book might be the best Jory Sherman story I have read. There is some adult theamed material but the story is well written with a sharp narrative.
