Three Heroes in one book

When Clint Adams gets caught in a town that makes money off murdering strangers like him, he finds an unlikely ally in a lightning-handed shootist known as Slocum. Luckily, they both get out alive. Unluckily for the Gunsmith, when he heads for Denver, he finds himself a wanted man. But not for murder. A hard-nosed deputy federal marshal by the name of Custis Long needs his help to bring in Aaron Caulfield, whose vile depredations upon men, women, and children are the stuff of nightmares. J.R. Roberts, gives his reader another dialouge driven, easy to read, fast paced book. To celebrate reaching book #300 he teams Clint Adams up with Jove's other two main western heroes, Slocum and Longarm. By involving Adams with them in seperate incidents the book comes across as two stories in one binding, the longer story featuring Longarm. Roberts writes in short chapters, often only three or four pages long, and uses them to switch from character to character, both good and bad. Fans of all three series should find it to be an entertaining read, as indeed will all fans of westerns. There is one thing about this book that really annoys me - and this has nothing to do with the author - and that's the use of blank pages so a new chapter always starts on a right-hand page. With something like 23 of these blank pages it makes you wonder why the publishers do this. Is it to make a shorter story seem longer? Why not just use bigger print? Some other reason?
