The Healer: A Classic Western Series
He swore an oath to heal the sick. He never swore to let killers walk free.
Brody Connor has built something worth protecting — a wife, a newborn son, a small hospital serving the hard-working folk of Central Texas. But when Jude Cole's outlaw gang targets the ranch, spying from the brush and threatening the lives of everyone Brody loves, the country doctor sets down his medical bag and picks up something heavier.
Guided by the warrior code of his Indian teacher and the faith that has carried him through fire before, Brody rides out alone — not to capture, but to end it. What he finds goes deeper than one a web of murder, stagecoach robbery, and a shadowy boss who has fooled the whole county. When the invitation to a final showdown arrives, Brody will need every skill the Healer possesses — the warrior's instinct, the doctor's calm, and a wife willing to stand beside him when the shooting starts.
Some men heal. Some men fight. Brody Connor was born to do both.
A gripping frontier adventure with heart and grit, The Healer continues Brody Connor's unforgettable journey through danger, love, and the high cost of doing what's right. Grab your copy now!

this is good reading-
As stated it was good reading, but there’s too many added words as unnecessary and dragged the story out to a point of almost intolerable- here is a grown man that calls me his mother mama throughout three books so far most people in that generation called affairs Mall or Pa mama Digo mama is just a little Charlie sorry for that MONTY, but that’s how I felt. We all know that Brody doesn’t like coffee too much as repeated totally unnecessary. A good editor can chop a third of it away. Thanks for your patience.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
The Healer ciontinues with the life of Doctor Brody Conner. Heis a doctor by trade but was trained earlier in life by an indian healer. He was not only taught the indian healing ways but also the indian fighting skills. Healer in indian means meicine man but also warrior and Brody lives up to it all when danger threatens his family. This was a very good real that I enjoyed. Need more of Dr. Brody Connor.

“TheHealer” is a great Western Novel
Although Gardner supplies too much detail sometimes about a scene, his characters are so strong, the message of ‘doing good’ for those in need is reinforced throughout and the sprinkle of humor in each chapter make this story a ‘stand alone’ classic.

Not as good as 1 & 2
I found this book (#3) not to be as good as books 1 & 2. There were spelling inconsistencies in some names that I found annoying. For example, Manuel was also shown as Manual. Also a glaring inconsistency for me was several times the Connors were referred to as the Jordan's. Attention to detail was somewhat lacking.

So Good
This is the end of my books by Monty R. Garner, until I buy some more. If you like westerns a little over the top with likable character these tales are for you. Thanks for loaning your imagination to me this week.

A doctor with a heart, and a fast gun.
Brody had a tough childhood, but he stayed true to his mother that he would become a doctor to all people, but especially the poor. He always looked for ways to improve people's lives.

Believe
Story tells of strong beliefs the individuals uphold under the toughest of conditions. I hope many in today's society can come to these strengths. I know its fiction, but you have to believe, and if you do as the story tells you will triumph.
