William W. Johnstone's epic westerns brilliantly pit the courage of a man alone against the rugged landscape of frontier America. Weaving actual historical characters and events with hoof-pounding suspense, Johnstone's new Frank Morgan adventure finds the West's last gunfighter facing his toughest enemy yet. Death Is Not The End--Sometimes It's Just The Beginning When Frank Morgan finds there's a price on his head, there's only one thing to do--kill the man who put it there--and if he avenges the death of his beloved doing so, the sweeter the justice. But the trail of revenge hides many an ambush. From hired killers to hooded night riders, there's no rest for the last gunfighter, especially when a beautiful young trick rider needs his help. Guns blazing, the dust never settling, vengeance comes to a showdown in a Nevada ghost town, where an army of gunmen lies in wait. . .
This was my first Johnstone western novel. I wanted to see if he is on the same scale with L'Amour and Kelton. His characters do not have the same heart as the other two authors. The main character, Frank Morgan, is a misunderstood gunman who is constantly attacked by assassins, wannabes, and other scumbags. It is beyond belief how many times Morgan is missed by his enemies' bullets. It's similar to Star Wars where the stormtroopers almost never hit their targets. All that aside, once you buy in to the premise that the hero is unstoppable, his adventures are quite interesting. He even attends the 1892 Chicago World's Fair and becomes briefly involved with Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West review. If you love seeing the bad guys get their comeuppance, love flying fists, knives and bullets, then this is the book for you.
