Whip Dodge: Manhunter

by Wesley Tallant

Idaho Territory. A bank robbery and murder in the town of Eagle Rock prompts the town marshal to request the assistance of the legendary bounty hunter, Whip Dodge. A trek across the desert brings the murdering bank robbers to justice, but Whip soon finds that there is more afoot than just robbery and murder. An old enemy has surfaced and is trying to take over the valley for himself. With the help of a couple of visiting Texas Rangers, a crotchety old judge, and the townspeople themselves, justice prevails and peace returns to Eagle Rock.

I love historical westerns and had high expectations for this book even though I didn't know the author. The blurb sounded so exciting. Unfortunately, the writing was only okay. The story is written in a very telling, distant style. I never felt like I was in Whip Dodge's shoes or a part of the action even though this book was fast-paced from the beginning. This novel reminded me of a black and white western TV show, and in some ways former soldier and Indian friend, Whip Dodge, reminded me of Cheyenne.

The story seemed well-researched, and I think the author has potential. It definately read like a first novel effort. I hope the author continues to hone his craft.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
