Customer Reviews

A great tale in the Rockies...

Loved the bear scenes. Tons of action and suspense. Cotton has painted the Rockies with words. While reading, I felt as though I could look out my window and see the mountains. Plus, the tail is believable... Again, Cotton makes the reader feel he/she is a part of the story.

A very gripping, and well put together story.

Killers of Man, was a very nice piece of work. Once you start reading it you cant put it down, and very compelling. I have had a bought with a Grizzly, and this story was right on line to the way they are,even before they have tasted human blood, which just makes it worse once they have. And it sends chills down your back. I hope he writes more on this subject. Very well done, A+.

Wonderful Story--masterful story-teller.

Though I have enjoyed all of Mr. Cotton's books, Killers of Man remains my favorite. It is such a gripping tale, I sat down to read a few chapters, then next thing I knew, it was 5:00 a.m. and I had finished the book.Wonderful story. Masterful story-teller.Buy this book!

In a class by its self

Make that a 10+ + + + RW has written a most compelling piece of literature and like most of his work, he has disguised it as a western. There is essential relevence in Killers Of Man for both the hunter and the preservationist alike. I started not to buy this book because of the title. What a mistake it would have been! Coton speaks to violence in a way that makes one think he sees it as something inherent within us only to the extent that we have not came to grips with it. From that point on he paints it on a broad canvas with such masterful strokes that we can neither ignore or deny. To assume that the story is only about a bear hunt is to assume that Tolstoy only wrote a military novel. Ten thumbs up for this enormous, powerful work (with such a childlike title

Gripping. Couldn't put it down!

Once again Cotton has shown that he is cleary the best in his field, and his field is far ahead of western genre. I don't know if Miller Crow and Jack Smith were real people or not when Cotton wrote about them, but they sure are now. Compares to Twain, London, and many other greats. Killers Of Man is a classic that will be here a long long time
