The Gunsmith Giant #11
Red Mountain
When things get quiet, Clint Adams doesn’t take it easy—he starts going stir crazy. That’s how he found himself in Ouray, Colorado. A mysterious, unsigned telegram requesting his help in exchange for $1000 was just enough to get him to leave Texas for this muddy mining town. But the moment he steps foot in the place, an unarmed man is shot dead ... and he’s got the Gunsmith’s name in his pocket.
Clint’s unwittingly landed himself in the middle of a town full of rival mining companies, gunslinging miners and their lustful wives—who all want a piece of the Gunsmith, for one reason or another.
Like the stunning Gloria Augustus, the boss’s insatiable wife, and a reclusive foreman who goes by the name of Frank Howard ... but who Clint knows to be Frank James, the late Jesse James’s brother.
Things are getting heated with such mixed company, and if the person responsible for the invitation doesn’t come forward soon, the part is over ...

The overall narrative flowed effortlessly, with enough twists and engaging characters to keep me riveted. Action scenes and shootouts were described with thrilling precision, while the drama rolled in waves, ensuring I was never left bored. Sure, there were a few moments during the love scenes that caused me to roll my eyes—Clint's disbelief in his own stamina had me laughing aloud!
Perhaps I’m a bit biased, but I can hardly find fault in Robert J. Randisi's storytelling. While some of his tales are stronger than others, I revel in his spirited dialogue and distinctive style. Red Mountain fits right in with the rest of his work. Were some love scenes excessive? Absolutely, but this is a Gunsmith novel after all, and I expected some cheeky smut alongside solid storytelling—and that’s precisely what I got. Action-packed, adventurous, and thoroughly enjoyable.
