Customer Reviews

Westerns

I have read most of the Johnstones books, but I enjoy the Will Tanner series at this time, as I read all of the Smoke Jensen and Drifter books, and Fallcon's books. I enjoy all of them and I read them over again incase I have missed anything, but in some cases, I find mistakes in some of the books that contradict previous stores, mostly those of Smoke Jensen. One that I am reading at present is the stories he is telling about "Liver Eating Jackson". When Smoke received his name from Preacher, he was caring a colt .36, not a .44. Also Smoke founded the town of Big Rock, not just visited it, and he put Monte in as sherieff when Big Rock was formed. Get your history together folks.

awesome

the Last Gunfighter: the Drifter, is now my favorite of all western books i have ever read. frank Moragn is straight out of a John wayne movie, heroic,, no-nonsense, quick to the draw,marshall. highly recommended to lovers of a good old fashion western shoot em up yarn. the gun play is non-stop, look forward to reading the rest in te series, the reprisal, the show down,, the rescue..

This book is Great!

I didn't think I'd read a book to match Ralph Compton's, but this one grabbed me quick. Another outstanding author. A page-turner of a western, and a terrific character in Frank Morgan. This is writing at its best.

Wonderful New Series!

Mr. Johnstone has topped his Mountain Man and Blood Bond series. Frank Morgan is a fresh new character and not a "Smoke Jensen" or "Preacher" knockoff. Once again, we see Mr. Johnstone's ability to make history come alive. Can't wait for the next installment coming in August 2000. Mr. Johnstone, please write faster! Thank you for a wonderful read!

The Last Gunfighter: The Drifter

William W. Johnstone has done it again. I thought his Mountain Man series would be the "last" of the best. I see now that the "Last" Gunfighter opens new doors for more terrific reading. He grabs you on the first page and you can't turn it loose. There has been only one other author with that ability and he's past on. His style of writing places you at the scene as if you are living it yourself. You don't want to miss this one. I only wish he could type faster for the next book!
