Logan’s Word

The Logan Family Western Series, Book 1

By: Donald L. Robertson

Narrated by: Alex Boyles

As Lieutenant Rory Nance lay dying after the battle of Cedar Creek in the Shenandoah Valley, Captain Josh Logan gave his word to his best friend.

Now, two years later, deep in the Comancheria, Josh Logan rides to accomplish his dying friend’s request. As he rides through the rolling, West Texas hills, blood-thirsty Comanches could wait in the next ravine or around the next hill. Yet, he is determined to fulfill his promise.

His message delivered, he must make a decision that could cost him his life. Will Josh stay and help Rory’s father save his ranch from sharp-shooters, murderers, and land-grabbers, or continue to Colorado to join his brother Callum before the snow flies?

Logan's Word

I really enjoyed this book. Josh is keeping a promise to Rory, A friend he was in the war with. He goes to there home and gives them the bad news that he was killed. He stays and helps them with the problems with people trying to steal their land. Josh is a one man army. I like how he fights. He's a force to be reckoned with. This whole book was written in A way that I was one hundred percent wrapped up in it. I'll continue with the series. I think the next book will be about his brother. Alex Boyles does a great job narrating this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

Honest Men Keep Going

That two you couples find each other and live to be married ,while friends help their friend's family save their ranch

cliché after cliché

It was not a terrible story over all. The problem was it was predictable to the highest level and was a cliche page after page. It was like a city kid read one western book and tried to write his own story, not knowing anything about life on the western plains. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend, but I also wouldn't tell anyone not to read it. It just isn't the best story to read if your used to Louis L'Amour books....

Yeah, it really is bad

Not even a decent 10-cent Western. Trite, formalistic cattle rustling yarn written by a New Yorker circa 1905. Nothing against New Yorkers making money by churning out these types of books once a week for 10-year-old boys. Even adjusted for inflation they should still cost 10 cents.

Maybe It's Just Low Expectations

I cannot fathom how this novel received any positive ratings or reviews. Every scene, interaction, and attempt at period dialogue reads like a B-Grade, made-for-TV, Hallmark Channel Western. The cliches, stereotypes, and forced virtue are equally as bad as the clumsy attempts at caricaturing villainy. Even the bad guy is given the ridiculous name of Backshooter (Really?).

I am appalled at the mundane, pedestrian, fluff peddled in this novel. This work smacks of market desperation...keep the pulp churning and the Western fans won't complain. There isn't that much out there in the genre so they'll take what we give em'.

The real kicker is that I can't return this book.

I give this book two Yellow Boy Winchesters down for silliness and uninformed historical fiction writing.
