Showdown

Even though Bill Johnstone has passed, this series that he started is still some of the best western writing available. Frank Morgan, known as The Drifter, has a sense of right & wrong. If you want to live, don't mess with Frank, Dog (his dog), Stormy (his horse) or any of his friends. He does have a habit of finding trouble, or better yet, Trouble, with a capital T, finds him. And believe me that's not good for the trouble maker. If you like westerns (or Horse Poop & Gunsmoke as my Dad used to say) I highly recommed this book and the rest of the Last Gunfighter series.

This book moves along at a brisk pace. It's fun and there's lots of gunplay, cowboys, bad guys and women folk. There's lots of humor, even in the heat of battle. It appeared that the author didn't want to end the book. He was probably having too much fun. There could have been a few more chapters, but it also could have ended after Frank and townfolk completed the big shootout. By all means read this book and I promise you'll be entertained. It's definatly worth the price of admission.
