Sheriff Duke #2
The Sheriff 2
On an Earth decimated by war, a lone gunslinger delivers justice, protecting the innocent and righting the wrongs of a broken world. Some call him lawman. Some call him madman. Some call him vigilante. Some call him killer. Some call him legend.
They all call him…
...the Sheriff.
This is chapter two of his story.
In the tradition of classic westerns and set against a post-apocalyptic sci-fi backdrop, if you like Fallout, Firefly, Mad Max, or the Dark Tower, you’ll love The Sheriff.

Excellent continued story
The Sheriff is back, and he's got a lot of new opponents to deal with. Excellent story, fine writing and a darn good yarn. Looking forward for the next book in the series!

A good sequel to book 1. I envision a couple or three different ways the next book could go.

I'm a big fan of these stories, but this one. hmmm
This was classic Sheriff Duke. But the proof reader dropped the ball. Too many simple mistakes. She when it should read he, or vice versa. East, West or was it West, East across the the river (Mississippi?). How fat is Huston from the River? O well I'll still read the next chapter of Sheriff Duke. Probably go back and reread some of the books. If you are new to these stories read the older ones first to get back the ground.
P. S. Forbes is a awesome writer!

Good read and I like the sheriff
This was as good as the first one. I enjoyed the twist at the end. I would like it if you used more senses in your narrative. like: from the open field came the smell of something like a burnt out match. He tilted his head and the click of a weapon made him drop from Zorro. Better but more elaborate. Use all the senses. I want to see your world in my head completely. Jon State.

The sheriff two, good story prefer more action.
Enjoy the story, pretty good world building, but not enough western action for me. I thought the book needed more gunfights, and I wish the sheriff could’ve kept sweetie. Imagine traveling around with a bot who you can control that has your back. Good story throughout.

An interesting and satisfying read. The Author has created a group of characters where The reader can have empathy and/or sympathy for both the protagonists and antagonist. Forbes character development is incredible ! I highly recommend this book.

A long road to nowhere
Time to move on from this story. Such a great author stuck in a seemingly unending loop of essentially writing the same story over and over again. I'll eagerly be waiting for his next new and original series. But until that time Happy Trails!

Great reading.
These two Sheriff were great to read. Always some action going on and I like how the future was combined with images from the past. Good fighting evil in the old western style.

Future cowboy, hero, protector
Great futuristic story. He cares for everyone else. They mostly care for themselves. It is hard to decide what people will do. Recommended for adult and teenage. Mostly clean, low cussing, not too graphic.

Excellent Series
A Sheriff in a post apocalyptic world. The series is a SciFi western, in the traditional sense of Zane Grey. Excellent character, great dialogue, adventure and action. I'm looking forward to the next story. Strongly recommend that you read it as well.

This book was entertaining and a good read. The writing is done in a classic western style and is not deep. He didn’t wrap up the story a well as he did in the first book. There were a lot of unfinished threads.

Fun Read
Easy to read and understand. It is a bit simplistic and the Sheriff is simply too altruistic to be completely believable. I keep expecting to find that he is really a bot.

Love the sci-fi westerns
The sheriff seems almost too good to be true but love it when he deals out justice to the bad guys

loved it
I can’t say enough about this series. It’s been fun, dramatic and teaching forgiveness of all things. I’m looking for the next one.

Terrific Sequel!
If you like the first book, keep reading. If you've never read the first one, then why are you looking at the second one?! Go back and read the first!!

Worth the read!
The Sheriff is a well developed character with an intriguing back story. I am looking forward to learning more about Hayden Duke as I read the series. Well done.
