Gunquick

The Gunsmith #174

by J.R. Roberts

"I want to get rid of as many of those vermin as I can before I die," says Ben Farmer. He's as worn as an old truss—and twice as weak with cancer—but the fire in his eyes is as hot as Clint Adams has ever seen it. Farmer wants the Gunsmith to ride with his handpicked posse, gut-shooting all the outlaws and murderers the law couldn't stop. Clint Adams ain't no vigilante. But the right-quick addition of the beautiful, fast-as-lightning Anne Archer to the posse might change his mind. She's one hellacious inferno of an old flame, and she's led the Gunsmith on more than one hard-riding adventure. Is Ben Farmer's offer all that it seems...or is there something unsavory waiting around the proverbial corner? The Gunsmith can't wait to find out...

[Christopher Granczynski · Rating 1 out of 5]

My issue with Gunquick was that it just seemed like the book would never end. It could have ended, I think, at least a couple of times before it actually did. When a book or a film or television show does this, I lose interest quick and Gunquick was no different. Even though I finished the book, I never thought that it would finish itself.

It also never seemed to me like Clint Adams or Anne Archer were ever really in danger from Ben Farmer's right-hand man or the group that he had with him. It's like he was all bark and no bite and had the tables turned on him quickly, with Clint and Anne gaining the upper hand and never letting go.
