Reviews

[Malum]

Pretty good, but a bit slow in places and I wish that Johnstone had spent more time on Frank re-learning gunfighting rather than just have him shoot a couple of beer bottles and be perfect again.

[Rob Smith, Jr.]

A stand out in the giant and on-going Johnstone collection. This is very well plotted and written. Often in a Johnstone novel, the story takes a too obvious direction. This one doesn't.

The descriptions of settings in other Johnstone titles are often lacking, here the narrative is excellent throughout. Dialogue is also very well done.

A boo-boo is near the end when the good guys are approaching an area of the bad guys. One leaves in what had to be observed b y the good guys as it is written. Yet, the good guys saw nothing. If one interpreted this differently, let me know. I re-read the area of the book a few times and that is how I read it.

This is another 'Last Gunfighter' novel that is a continuation of the novel before it.

Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of ten points.

Manhunt

Wow! This was a really good story. As much as I would like to go on to another western about another of Johnston's characters, i have read book 10 and am about to read yet another Eagles story. Keep these stories coming. I miss the old west.

24-55 Though a bit gritty and violent, this was a great story. Hope that Frank will get to settle down for a while before he is permanently settled in dirt. I borrowed this e-book from the Sacramento Public Library through the Libby app. I will continue on my Western binge

Another very good novel by this author. I enjoyed reading this novel and recommend this book to everyone.

[Cody Smith]

Alot more action than the last few. Frank Morgan is back!

[Ted Torgerson]

Listened to the audiobook. A fun read for sure. Part of the Last Gunfighter series. Would recommend.

Decided to try a western for a change of pace. Now I remember why I don't much care for the genre, with the exception of writers like Larry McMurty. Guess I just can't buy into a rising body count. At that rate, the West could hardly be won, because all the white male population would soon be gunned to extinction.
Over reliance on gratuitous death is a lame way to move the plot forward. (Of course many of the gory murder mysteries suffer from the same flaw, but, unfortunately, the audio selection at my local library dis heavily skewed in that direction.) Other than that, I loved it.

Must read after Team of Rivals. Picks up where Rivals ends.

Excellent!

Another great book by this wonderful writer. Well written and edited for the most part. Every book he writes is great.
