A Stranger in Town

Will Tanner Series, Book 2

De: William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Narrado por: Eric Michael Summerer

America's greatest Western storytellers begin the explosive new legend of Will Tanner, a US deputy marshal who will risk everything to save a friend, and bring two desperados to justice....

The train grinds to a halt somewhere in the Indian Nations, and the bandits get onboard. They take everything on the train worth stealing and gun down a guard to make their escape - just another notch on the belt for Ben Trout and Zack Larsen, two of the most savage killers in the west. US Deputy Marshal Ed Pine follows them to Muskogee. There the trail runs cold, and Ed Pine diappears. To save his friend, Deputy Will Tanner rides for Muskogee, where justice extends only as far as the range of a Colt .45.

Tanner earned his badge in a blistering gunfight, when he got the drop on a trio of killers and saved the life of another fellow marshal. Now, he'll have to be just as quick - and just as deadly. To bring in Trout and Larsen, Tanner must set his badge aside and resort to the law of the gun.

Another good western

I’d like the Marshall Will Tanner series. There’s just enough gunplay, horseplay, bad men, and good men. There’s also a little comedic relief. I would say the only thing from beginning to end of the whole series is that Will’s English grammar changes from one time to the next, making him seem uneducated, and at another time, seem very educated. It may not be the best western ever, but it is a good read, and I like the narrator. If you want a western that doesn’t have too much blood and guts, cussing, and you want to learn a little about the countryside. This is a good series to start with.

J.A.Johnstone is not the nephew, but the niece of William Johnstone. Most of the books since 2004 are written partially by her or by someone else under her name. You can generally tell by the various series. She should do like other authors do, and that is to share the glory so we can follow those authors we like.

Great story

I especially like this store because I am familiar with several of the Kansas locations mentioned in it.

SLOW BURN

The book starts slowly but all the action and great writing is there. I loved the Perly Gates series, so this is another great series by the authors.

Entertaining

Westerns are not my usual genre, but I really enjoyed this fast paced tale, with plenty of action and well-drawn characters. And such an excellent narrator !

Fun Book

Will Tanner is a great Character that I’ll enjoy reading about. I’m ready for Book number 3.
