Hunter: A Western Adventure
Hunter is an Action Adventure story of a bounty hunter in the Indian Territory in the mid 1880s. In the quintessential cowboy tradition, Frank Hunter is a loner. He only goes after the bad ones.
"Dead or alive meant dead to Hunter. He didn't wanna talk."
Until he finds a lost boy whose story mirrors his own haunted past so closely it moves him to help. The boy adores and fears this man with the "talented hands". It's a story of action, compassion, coming of age, and love in a wild and lawless land.

About the author
Bobby Sanders
7 books19 followersI was born in Stillwater, OK. I grew up in rural Oklahoma in the small (minuscule) town of Ninnekah, Oklahoma. I've been in love with the western since my dad took me to see a double feature at the drive in movie. I was 5 years old the twin bill was a "A fist Full of Dollars" and "A Few Dollars More".... Hooked... had cowboy cap guns, cowboy hat.....I still do. I got married had 4 kids. I've had the same job now for 31 years. I've written one western story and published it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCBL1X8
Check it out use the preview. If the first few pages don't grab you, don't go any further. It won't hurt my feelings. The opening page says,"If nobody reads this but me it will have been worth it", and I meant it.

There are some stories that draw you in and captivate you right from the beginning, stories that draw you in and make you want to read until you've completed your journey with the characters, and then when you are finished there are stories that leave you wanting more. Hunter is able to do all three.
A bounty hunter, aptly named Hunter, is tracking his next bounty when he comes across a young man, Donnie, who is in need. Hunter, remembering similar trials in his own youth, takes the boy under his wing. As the story progresses, we see that through their association, both men are able to learn something about themselves. The story wraps up nicely, but sets a hook in the reader, keeping us captivated and hoping for more.
Sanders' debut album, while lacking a little polish, is a fantastic story, and is told in a manner befitting a more experienced writer. I very much look forward to hearing more of his stories in the future.

Enjoyed Hunter. Not a complicated story line and just a nice read.

Gritty, confident, authentic western. Frank Hunter learned the arts of surviving – and killing – as a youth serving in the American Civil War. After the war, Frank uses those same skills to become like his name – a bounty hunter. He’s the eternal loner, but then he finds himself in a teacher-pupil relationship with Donny, a teenage waif whose dream is to become like Hunter. Together they chase and battle white and Indian renegades around the lawless Indian Nations (now Oklahoma) of the 1880s. Bobby Sanders tells a tough, gritty tale, leavened with black humour, with total authenticity – I learned how to catch catfish by hand, for example (should I ever need to!) His writing’s so confident and original you’d never guess this is a debut novel. So why only 3 stars? Because the book is badly proof read and littered with typos. Otherwise it would get a solid 4 stars. Andrew McBride

Great western story and the characters are as western as they could be.
Great story telling Mr. Sanders. I don't know if this was your first book or not, but you definitely have that western way of life and times down very well. Good luck in your writing and your western character of Frank Hunter is a winner. Keep writing, and thank you for the story.

A good man finds a son
When Frank finds a skinny kid who reminds him of himself, he finds a partner. Frank teaches the boy about life and how to survive while hunting criminals. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Excellent bounty hunter western!
Great book! I can't wait for the sequel. Even though they sometimes have to be tough, they're always fair. Frank and Donnie stand up for the good guys!

Bounty Hunter
Great story. Lots of action and love. The descriptions of towns and different party of the country are very true. Hope there is a sequel.

Great book!! Would give you six stars if I could!! Love the build up of the characters and a perfect finish. My kind of story. For Pete’s sake keep it going with many continuing books. Great talent. I read all of the C J Petit and R O Lane books and this is the same quality of writing. Thanks for a good story and keep up the good work!!!

A Surprise Welcome Western
This is the first book by this author and it was thoroughly enjoyable! The colloquialisms were new and quite humorous; I do believe they came from the author’s father and grandfather. I’ve read Louis L’amor, Tony Hillerman and William Johnstone and this book is right up there in my opinion. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!

Just a good old western
Just a good old western about a simpler time in our history. Nothing at all wrong with the story, just felt the author passed up the opportunity for a few good plot twists that could have fleshed out the story a little. Perfectly good as is.

Truly an education
I enjoyed the similar backgrounds of the two main characters and the interaction between them as they became partners in spite of their age differences. The geographical locations were well-described and coincided with my personal knowledge of the country.

A Good Read
I liked the plot and the setting was well done. I do wonder why it had so many grammar grammar errors. I'll read Sanders next one though.
