Definitely one of the better-written Whitman TV tie-ins for younger readers. It's a neat plot, and filled with plenty of interesting details - clearly written by someone who had actually watched and enjoyed the show!

I always wanted a shirt like Mark wore.

I was a little disappointed in the book. The t.v. series was one of my favourite westerns but the book never capture the feel of the t.v. show.

Great book. I read this as a kid. In fact, I got caught reading it behind a schoolbook by my Dad, who threw it in the trash. {I retrieved it.}
Well, years pass and I'm now an adult. I never forgot this story. Found myself wanting to read it again but time had once again taken the book away from me.
I ordered another copy and found it as entertaining as it had been when I was young. I recommend it to any youngster and if you were a Rifleman fan, to any adult! It reads very much like an episode and the author captured the feel of the show.

Wow, what a great original western tale.

The show was always fantastic, and this was like unlocking a secret episode.
Despite this one being published in 1959, the language, imagery, and story telling is equally effective to the tv series. If you are a fan of The Rifleman, The Andy Griffith Show, or GunSmoke, you'll find this one a breeze and a cozy read for a true Western lover.

10/10 🌟

Picked this up at an antique store because I've always enjoyed the tv series. The book was great too. I love the relationship between Mark and his father, my main reason for following the series. So if you like the series and want more, this is the book for you.

The rifleman stands for justice and uses talk when able and his rifle when it is not.

Great story, read just like an episode.
