The Old West. A time of man’s bravery and fears. A place where a man needed every ounce of his strength to survive. A barbaric time. A better time. It is a place we call the Old West. This is an exciting adventure in that dangerous, yet dramatic and exciting place.
A powerful new series from John D. Fie, Jr. continues! Morgan Deerfield finds out his quest for peace is not easy after gaining the reputation as a notorious and deadly shootist that spanned fourteen years. Morgan realizes now that his desire for peace is much harder, as each day brings him a new challenge.
Sheriff Farley is still investigating Morgan’s first escape from death with only a leg wound. When a second attempt is made on his life, Morgan wakes up to the real reality of the task he is trying to achieve. Erasing a giant shadow is not an easy thing to do.
Morgan Deerfield was seriously wounded and per the doctor, it's going to take from six months to a year before he's totally healed. He can barely walk without getting weak and his legs giving out on him. It's so serious that Sheriff Seth has assigned bodyguards to him for constant protection. Miss. Elizabeth Delaney has now become President of the local bank that her deceased father left her. She also needs bodyguards and a driver for her carriage. The town has been assaulted by the "Hamilton Slasher," who slashing throats and gutting those unfortunate to meet his machete. This town seems to have had a bad time, there was the crooked Mayor and Banker who embezzled money from the bank and committed land fraud. You know the type who start demanding mortgage payments and loans that are due..just another hot 🔥mess. They either Matt late in life such as men in their late thirties and the women marry early as soon as some hot their teens. I know that Kansas has a law giving thirteen year olds the right to marry. But I also heard they were going to change the law..makes sense, don't know why it's taking them this long to amend that law.. A real head scratcher. We all like Morgan Deerfield, I hope he heals and feels better soon. Then he and Miss. Elizabeth can marry and start a family..howdy boy
Not the normal Morgan Deer story, due to him being in a recovery mode both Sheriff Rarely keeps everyone moving along in a pretty fast !ode. Plenty of fast moving adventures to maintain your undivided attention from beginning to end though!
Certainly worthy of five stars, as there are enough suspenseful episodes, and gunfights, to maintain anyone's attention. The characters certainly certainly are entertaining enough, as they fulfill their assigned roles to perfection throughout the entire story. The author certainly did his homework with his exceptionally exciting storylines. There were enough suspenseful episodes to appease anyone's attention, and again, there were enough romancing to maintain your full attention, also. Too, anyone loving gunfighting will certainly be well entertained. There were a few very descriptive deaths throughout the first half of the book, but all is well in the end. Recommending this book to all the readers of western genre is not a problem, but some you non-western enthusiasts might find the story to your liking. But then, who am I to select stories for everyone, as you just might find the book entertaining!😀
As always another great read from a great author. John D Fie Jr. keeps you turning the pages to see what will happen next. Thank you John for an awesome read, looking forward to the next one.
