Been a long time follower of Mr. Slade, and I hope this is the beginning of a new developing series of western adventures. A very heartwarming, and compassionate, story of realistic American western folklore adventures, with enough suspenseful episodes to appease anyone's desired expectations. Great job!!
Most definitely another five star masterpiece by one of the most compelling author of the old western genre. One exciting episode after the other, with Matt and Sheriff Jones trying to bring justice to their beloved town of Reno, and the surrounding areas, as well. This deadly duo, along with former U.S.Marshal Treadway, and Matt's charge, Charlie burn the midnight oil in their ongoing efforts to bring justice once more to their beloved area of jurisdiction!
Outstanding storylines that successfully portrays compassion and love of their compatriots, and the outstanding character selections were perfectly selected for their commanding assignments throughout the entire book! The ongoing camaraderie of the good guys goes above and beyond in their quest for justice.
I, without hesitation, recommend this outstanding western masterpiece of realistic western folklore adventures to everyone, especially you dyed in the wool western enthusiasts, as you will certainly enjoy following these compassionate series of justice as they pull no punches in bringing peace, and tranquility to their beloved not responsibility. Even you non-western fanatics will find yourselves completely engrossed in following these compassionate leaders of justice, as they certainly put the safety, and welfare, of their constituents first and foremost, in all their endeavors!😄

An OS. Nevada/Utah Western Action Adventure (TTR) (ADSMLW)
OS. has penned a Nevada/Utah western action adventure titled, "The Train Robbery" which begins with a Deputy Sheriff settling into his job on a permanent basis. The Deputy had been a very successful bounty hunter but had grown tired of being on the road all the time. He accepts the job as Deputy. And is a good one because he can tell the good from the bad. One gang, in particular, is causing them fits, until the Deputy remembers who the men really are. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

Matt Laing was a very sharp deputy.
Matt was helping the sheriff to get Reno under control. A famous train robber had his headquarter a short distance from town. They set out to try to get him stopped. Matt had to call in a lot of favors. They finally got it under control. Then he decided to stay in Reno for a while.

Dull
No mystery or excitement. Hank should have escaped and gone after his brother Ted or Deputy Matt. Couldn’t keep my interest!
