Raylan McCrae brings back the real west again in Gunfighter's A Lucas Wade Western (Book 2). For a reasonable fee and a little patience, Lucas Wade will come to town and fix your problems. Spencer, Wyoming needs a lawman quick because it is being overrun by Captain Jackson Anderson and his crew of 24 gunmen. Murder and mayhem have overtaken the once peaceful town. That is until Lucas Wade comes to town. Gunfighter's Justice is a melding of the classic Western genre with an edgy, action-packed, fast-paced story normally seen only in Contemporary Fiction. If you liked Just Compensation, you'll love this read where Spencer is the first stop by Lucas Wade and Nellie Washington after leaving New Market, Colorado. If you've not read the first book in the Lucas Wade Series, Gunfighter's Justice is a great place to start getting to know Lucas Wade.
When Jacks Anderson and his rowdy crew moved into the town of Spencer, they brought chaos. After the only bank in town is robbed, and the marshal is killed, the town Council sends for Lucas Wade to restore law and order to their town. It’s a tall order, but Lucas Wade loves a challenge.
My favorite character is back with another adventure on the western front. I love the character of Luke Wade. I’m glad that Nelly took prominence in the story too. I think she rounds out Lucas’ personality. The plot had plenty of action, was fast paced, and had my full attention. I have one word for this series…satisfying!
I received a free copy of this book to review. A fast paced, action packed Western! The action increased with the body count in the second installment of the Lucas Wade story. There is no time for the reader to catch their breath, or for Lucas to kiss his Nelly. While this is a gunslinging Western, there are other issues that are brought up that makes it a bit more of a deeper read. Issues such as race, with Nelly, and the changing of the guard, with Jacks Anderson and Waldo Finch. A very readable Western
Very exciting western starring Lucas Wade, marshal extraordinaire. Loads of action, great supporting characters and true to the time period, Wade rides into another small town to clean up the riff raff. He does it in an entertaining, realistic way. There's a good dose of humor, morals and emotion. Another good story by one of my new favorite western authors. I really liked the cover.
