Hawker #10
Denver Strike
To save an innocent family, Hawker goes hunting in the Rockies
If they hadn’t come to the cabin, Lomela and her children would be dead by now. Evil men want something from Lomela’s father, and they’ll hurt his family to get it, so the young mother has taken refuge far from civilization, in a remote patch of the Rocky Mountains. She believes she’s safe. She’s wrong.
The sniper focuses his scope on Lomela. He squeezes the trigger, and his crossbow bolt flies across the mountains, passing Lomela—and striking dead the man who was about to shoot her in the back. James Hawker, the most dangerous vigilante in the United States, has just saved another life. But Lomela and her children are still in danger, and Hawker will paint the Rockies with blood to keep them safe.
Denver Strike is the 10th book in the Hawker series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

I was between a 4.5 and a 5 on this one, but ultimately went with 5 because it’s everything you want in the Hawker series. Once again, we find James Hawker on a
Vigilante mission to save another helpless group of people against evil.
The book opens up with lot of action, and kicks into high gear for a few chapters. It was on its way to being my favorite Hawker book in the series, but then there is an odd twist right in the middle, that really has no need.
You will spend two chapters, that take up the majority of the book, with this odd “romance” scene, that is nothing more than filler, and could’ve been replaced with something MUCH better, but it was obviously done for the “twist” ending, that fell very much flat.
The ending was also rushed, and a bit of a let down, but the action was great, and at 173 pages you can knock this one out in a day, and enjoy the quick thrill of another Hawker book.

So, a complete stranger comes out of the cold snowy wilderness and kills four men. Is stabbed in the arm while doing so. He comes up to a isolated cabin with a woman and her two young children. He is let in and soon is having sex with the frightened lady. That kind of stuff happens all the time. You gotta love these 80's action books.
In Hawkers next to last adventure, he is in Colorado to help a daughter of a silver miner stay alive and keep from being kidnapped so his former partner can't steal the rights to his mine. This one blows through at a break-neck speed. Only slowing so Hawker can bed a few females. Only wish it would of had more depth. Oh well;

A fast paced read.

Truly a horrible book. No plot. No character development. There is nothing good that I can say about this piece of trash.

Good read
I like the Hawker series because there is not a lot of bouncing around in the storyline. Pretty direct start to finish.

As Hawker looked at the woman, he thought about the bizarre circumstances and the strange chain of events that had brought him to these mountains. The story Jacob Montgomery Hayes had told him involved a mixture of piracy, international finance, and Old West claim-jumping.

#10 in the Hawker series by Randy Wayne White writing as Carl Ramm. One of the better entries in the series.
Hawker series – Bill Nek cheated his 3 partners out of a silver mine and built it into an empire. Now the ex-partners have made a rich strike and Nek is determined to acquire it also. He will use any means including murder and kidnapping to achieve his ends, but Hawker has been brought in to stand in his way.

The Benchmark of Great Action Entertainment!
White has to be the most creative, full-bodied writer ever published! With the same two characters and theme, each novel is refreshingly different and able to hold reader's glued to the story until the end.

An okay read. Very cliched and predictable. A cross-bow that is lethal at almost a mile?
