.45-Caliber Manhunt

.45-Caliber #3

by Peter Brandvold

It's hard living on the Colorado frontier--especially when you've got a bounty on your head. Ever since Cuno Massey killed Vince Evans, the no-good son of wealthy rancher Franklin Evans, men have been hunting his head for its sizeable bounty. Men like the big bear of a bounty hunter, Ruben Pacheca, the most fearsome tracker of them all, who robs and rapes as he hunts. And it's anyone's guess whether Cuno's new love, a sassy outlaw named Marlene, will be his savior or his destruction in beautiful disguise...

[Laur · Rating 4 out of 5]

Listened to this on the Graphic Audio Full Cast Dramatization format. The story moves fast and really comes alive in this gritty western of revenge, bounty hunters, and a man who aims to set things right and claim his life back. Great cast of characters.

Note: Occasional foul language and sexual scenes referenced.

[Jeff Tankersley · Rating 1 out of 5]

A bigfoot-sized evil bounty hunter named Ruben Pacheca is seeking out Cuno Massey, a fugitive living on the frontier. Massey had been unfairly charged in the murder of a rancher's son while saving a woman and now he keeps having to kill more and more bounty hunters as time goes on and the bounty goes up.

Verdict: A ridiculous and raunchy trash modern action western.

This book seemed really short. I did enjoy the fact that he kept Sandy with him, even it was just for a minute. The story itself was pretty weak though outside of that.

Picked this up on a whim and really enjoyed it. Good characters, nicely written, and part of a series, which I'm excited about.
