Good, but the second one is better

This book is very good, it entertained me, but I enjoyed the 2nd book in the series better. This also caputres the naievete of a three month old in a 20 yer old persons body. Very interestin.

I highly recommend all 3 Mike Resnick's Widowmakers books.

Mike Resnick has done a great at translating the Old West lawman/bounty hunter to the frontiers of space. However, Jefferson Nighthawk, aka the Widowmaker, the best at his job is sent on a mission ill prepared to face the emotional realities of his world. This Widowmaker is a clone that is trained with the original's physical skills, but not the his emotional mind set or memories. Read the book to see if the young Widowmaker survives to complete his mission.
