Publisher's Summary

For years, Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch have ridden roughshod over rabble-rousers and gun hands in troubled towns like Appaloosa, Resolution, and Brimstone. Now, newly appointed as territorial marshalls, they find themselves traveling by train through the Indian Territories.

Their first marshaling duty starts out as a simple mission: to escort Mexican prisoners to the border. But when the governor of Texas, his wife, and his daughters climb aboard with their bodyguards and $500,000 in tow, their journey suddenly becomes a lot more complicated.

The problem is Bloody Bob Brandice. He and Virgil have had it out before, an encounter that left Brandice face-down in the street with two .44 slugs lodged in him. Now, 12 years later, on a night train struggling uphill in a thunderstorm, Brandice is back - and he's not alone.

Cole and Hitch find themselves in the midst of a heist with a horde of very bad men, two beautiful young hostages, and a man with a vendetta he's determined to carry out.

    The pacing, the dialog, and the story were just as Mr. Parker would have written it. Much enjoyed.

    "Cole and Hitch back in the saddle."

    Our first Virgil Cole and Everret Hitch novel since the passing of Robert B. Parker. The author stayed true to the characters and their actions. Really didn't notice the writing was not Mr. Parker. Great western novel. We hope there will be more to come.

    "A happy surprise for Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch"

    I was really pleased with' Ironhorse.' Robert Knott picks up the threads of Cole and Hitch's story and does a fine job. Parker fans that are nervous about the new writers taking over the established characters will be glad to know that Mr. Knott was a great choice for this series. Titus Welliver brings the characters and action to life with his usual flair. I can't imagine listening to anyone else reading the "Appaloosa" books.

    "not Robert B Parker"
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    the story line is one sided only a part of what made Robert B Parker characterss live


    Would you be willing to try another book from Robert Knott? Why or why not?

    i would not buy a book from Robert Knott unless it was hid own work and i heard it was MUCH BETTER THEN IRONHORSE


    What does Titus Welliver bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Titus Wellive is the best part of the book


    Was Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse worth the listening time?

    no

    "Narrator sounded bored!"

    The narrator sounded bored reading the book so I was bored listening to him. This book reads like a cheap Made For TV western action movie. I loved Appaloosa but I was disappointed in this book.

    I have purchased over 400 books. I have high standards for writing and content, but indulge in "travel trash" or fairly good entertainment.

    "Ho Hum"

    I love Robert B Parker, and enjoyed the Appaloosa series enough to listen to them all twice. I thought I would give this a try because Titus Welliver is a good narrator. I thought he could bring some continuity to the extension of the series and I was hopeful. Frankly I was just bored the whole way through. I listened to the whole thing, being somewhat desperate for entertainment, but this did not deliver. It was like a meal with no salt. No spice, Pretty predictable and a lot of rambling dialogue that did not create interest or depth. So sorry Mr. Knott, good effort. but C-.

    What did you love best about Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse?

    A solid no nonsense story. A very easy to follow and enjoyable listening experience. I enjoyed this novel as much or perhaps even more than than Robert Parker stories about the same heroes.
