an American outlaw

great story. lots of action good story line, could have used some romance narrator was ok. I liked the ending. story was great at telling both sides of the characters

Narrator's voice appropriate for this story

This is the first audio book I have listened to. I enjoyed it and the narrator's voice was appropriate for the story. His voice is deep with a Texas accent. He spoke slowly but fast enough to keep the story rolling along. I could understand who was talking when there were conversations. This audio book was very relaxing to listen to. This is an interesting story set in Texas desert country.

An Excellent Audio of this Thriller !

An excellent audio of this thriller with a great plot, fantastic characters, and a wonderful location. The story is well told, fast paced, and holds the reader's attention. A real page turner with unique dialog. I highly recommend both the ebook and the audio version of this story.
I received a copy of the audio from the author and chose to write this review. Purchased the ebook for my collection.

Great Texas Marshall book

Lived the book. I'm glad it ended the way it did.. Great ending. I enjoyed the book

Protagonist?

The Whicher character, series namesake, was not developed well at all, and the moral ambiguity he felt about Gil et al was more inconsistent than ambiguous
The Gil character was far more interesting but I had a hard time with the justification for his actions—lots of people go to war, not many use bank robbing for justice or redemption
The performance was above average but rather emotionally flat, even considering the main characters were even keeled by description
But the Texas background was great, as were the action sequences and gun detail
I’m ambivalent about trying the 2nd Whicher book —any help on whether I should try it?
