RsReading | Nov 8, 2022 |   A Caleb Marlowe Novel #1 Caleb Marlowe was hard to say goodbye to as I finished the last page of this book. I have not read a good Western for awhile and this one really hit the spot. It took me back to the days I would borrow books from my father that were written by Zane Grey, Louis Lamour, Max Brand and other authors that he had collected and treasured enough to keep on his shelves. This book has the feel of those old time favorites and took me back in time…in more ways than one. What I liked: * That I was grabbed immediately in the first page of reading. * Caleb Marlowe: intriguing man with a backstory I can’t wait to hear more about. Capable, lethal, deadly, strong, moral, good friend, animal lover, in tune with nature, interesting – there is a lot more to him than we learned in this first book of the series. * Doc Burnett: physician, war veteran, moved west for a reason, father, widow, brave, wise, a good man. * Sheila Burnett: Doc’s daughter suddenly home from the East and there for a reason. She grew as the story progressed and in so doing she became a character I would like to see more of. * Imala: a widow that I would like to hear more about, and hope shows up in the future. * The blacksmith and his son – good people that took in a young man in need – wondering if all three will show up in future books. * The action scenes * That there were an interesting assortment of characters * The code of the Gunslinger… * The way justice was meted out. * The potential I feel there is for more books in this series. * Knowing that at least two more books are scheduled for release in the future. * All of it really except… What I didn’t like: * The bad men that I was meant not to like * Having to say goodbye to the characters. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in this series? Definitely Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC - This is my honest review. 5 Stars (  ) CathyGeha | May 24, 2021 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML: Fans of William Johnstone will love this unique and riveting historical western series. A perfect gift for Father's Day, birthdays, and holidays for the men in your life. It will take all this lone frontiersman's skills to save his only friend from murderous outlaws. Caleb Marlowe carved out his own legend as a frontier scout and lawman before arriving in the Colorado boomtown of Elkhorn. Famous for a lightning-quick draw and nerves of steel, he is mysterious, guarded, and unpredictable. Now, he wants to leave the past behind. But the past has a way of dogging a man... When Doc Burnett, Caleb's only friend in town, goes missing, his daughter Sheila comes seeking Caleb's help. Newly arrived from the East, she hotly condemns the bloody frontier justice of the rifle and the six-gun. But this is outlaw country. Murderous road agents have Doc trapped in their mountain hideaway. To free Doc, Marlowe tracks his kidnappers through wild, uncharted territory, battling animals and bushwhackers. But when Sheila is captured by the ruthless gunhawks with a score to settle, Marlowe will have to take them down one by one, until no outlaw remains standing. .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Nikoo and Jim are masters at crafting unique, vibrant characters. Branching out into the Western genre doesn't change that. Elkhorn, Colorado, is a growing town teeming with life and enough trouble to keep Caleb Marlowe on his toes.
