He appeared out of the dust storm… So begins the story of Roids Cavanaugh. A raw-boned young man of pure courage who had a heart for justice. Growing up in Enla’s R Street Orphanage, Roids had no parents, no family, no past. But he had a future, and it was clearly written in his actions, his loyalties, and in his natural inclination to do what was right. And when he put on the badge of Sheriff for the lawless mining town of Bombala, his future was written in blood. Falstaff Books and ENLA Publishing join forces to bring to life the first Terran Edition of the novellas of H.K. Devonshire, Mars' most popular author! Thrill to the adventure as the brave Martian Rangers fight against lawless villains and bring order to the new frontier! "Everything a reader could want from a rootin', tootin' Western--on Mars. Fearless Marshals and wily villains battle for control in a hard, harsh new land. Action, memorable characters, and believable worldbuilding make for one heck of a good 'space Western'." --Gail Z. Martin, author of Scourge
Everything I had hoped for after reading the first book.
After reading and thoroughly enjoying the first book, I waited the long wait. Only nine months, which is reasonable for a well-crafted tale - but oh, so long when waiting for the next in a series. Very happy with the results.
If you love the western voice and science fiction, the Martian Ranger series is for you. The first book set up the Martian Rangers. The second book (this one) is when a new sheriff comes to town.
