Good read
It's a pleasure to read about Jess helping other people. He's such a good person when he needs to be. Word of him now puts fear into a lot of bad people. It's still nice and entertaining when they don't know who they are dealing with. Excellent book as usual. Would highly recommend this series to all that enjoy a good western series.

Another great Jess Williams story
Number 149 is still a great new story of Jess helping people and getting rid of bad men. A town was desperate being ravaged by a gang of bad men. One of the town's men snuck out to find help. He found Jess Williams.

Wonderful story
I enjoyed the story as I have all of them. My only complaint is all of the misspellings and letters added to words that slowed me down and made me wince! Robert please take the time to proofread your wonder stories!i
