I liked everything about this book, and I highly recommend it. The story is great about a hero sheriff who is looking for a vigilante.

Finally I found a book that held my attention. It was because of the details, not so much the story itself.
The story is predicable, the hero-done before and the girl is no one special. The sex scenes are fun, but not all that arousing. Still, the writing is good enough that I finished the book.
I recommend this book as something fun to read.

Terrible Narration

I invested a credit on this story because the reviews were good. But I believe they are bogus because the narration is so bad! The narrator does have some talent, but he overacts to the point of distraction. I was never in the story. I was always listening to an overacting narrator.
I was so disappointed. Plus, the story isn’t very exciting. It’s definitely a lost treasure. And there’s a very good reason. Louis didn’t publish this book when he was alive.

I liked the world building, as I like the Western/Historical Fiction genre. Particularly when it includes women and has a meaningful story line rather than just being a shoot ‘em up bang bang.
This is a romance story. It’s predictable and cliche. However, the writing is good enough that I’m interested and invested in the story and characters, and I plan to listen to the next book in the series.
I thought the writer used religion and God as a way to avoid explaining the motives of her main characters. She kind of took the easy way out. Instead of offering us some amazing insight about the human condition from her perspective, she simply writes, “because God loves me (the protagonist) so much, I deserve…” I’d have liked that character Donna Grace to have found her value through many layers and dimensions of thought. Maybe taking a tour through her mind. But again, Ford is such a good writer, she still has my attention.
The narration starts out weak. The sound is inconsistent, as it’s sometimes too loud, other times too quiet. The narrator also makes quite a few mistakes in the beginning. In the beginning of the book, I focused on what is wrong with the narration, but as the book progresses, the quality of sound and narration improves, so by the ending of the book I’d give our narrator a solid B+. I completely forgot about her and I was absorbed in the story.
I highly recommend this book, even though it got too religious towards the ending. I love God, but I don’t need religious jargon smeared all over my face.

Frank Morgan and Ben Savage are my favorite protagonists the Johnstone’s write about. I’m a huge fan of JA, considering her a true hero of modern times.
Please, do yourself a favor and enjoy some Ben Savage !
I must also mention that the narrator is a genius! I don’t know how one person could keep track of so many voices. But he does it with smoothness and easy comprehension for the listener.
My father died in 2017. He was a big western/cowboy stories fan. I started listening to cowboy books in honor of him, and every time I listen to one, I think of my dad. This book, gives this woman a great deal of joy far beyond the fun, descriptive writing. What could be more fun than a shoot em up, in memory of my father?

Although I did enjoy this book, I liked the first one more. That’s because I find the long drawn out fight scenes in this one to be a bit tedious. I’m not all that excited about creatures being destroyed just because they are protecting their domains. In my mind, protecting one’s home isn’t really evil. Yes, kill the Earl and the bad guys, but can’t it be done more quickly, so we can get back to feeding and saving this world?
Somehow when I play video games, killing spiders is fun and meaningful, but in literature, it kind of reminds me of what was done to indigenous people through out OUR world.
I’d like to hear more about the cheese, the animals, Ben, the farm hands…more details about the wolf pups…not pages and pages of slashing at flowers.
If book 3 wasn’t free to listen to, I would have quit this series, hopefully this book will be good enough to get me back on track otherwise I’m off to…maybe a SpaceOpera or a Cowboy novel.
Don’t get me wrong, Germination is a good book, I think Seth Ring is a brilliant writer, it’s well like I said before, I’m not into reading about unjustified killing. Well… not pages and pages of it anyway.

A very good book that focuses on the story rather than the details of what life was like in the olden days. There’s a lot of killing that doesn’t quite fit with reality, but the story holds up and I was left wanting more when the book was finished. There is no gore or truly upsetting detail to be concerned with, so I definitely would recommend this book to almost any age reader or listener.

The author gave me everything I like in a story. The coming of age for the hero. A homely heroine who really is pretty. A little bit of action. Some history to add interest.
The story is a fantasy, more than real gritty life. In fact, if one were to dwell on it, it’s hardly believable. But the author is such a great story teller, who cares?
One thing I found odd is the author’s obsession with genitalia. I don’t think a human sexuality text book would contain as much penis/vagina content as this book does…except don’t worry, the author never actually uses those words.
I’d say this book is for adults, as no young person needs to dwell upon sex organs as much as this book does. In fact, there’s a sort of unhealthy obsession and underlying message that well endowed men are better than average men.
Still, I liked the book, but I wouldn’t recommend it to my mom or my grandson or my brothers, it would be inappropriate and awkward.

I’d say this book is about average. The character development wasn’t as good as, let’s say, “Hondo”. But then again that’s one of the best books ever written.
The protagonist’s luck is just a little bit too convenient, although I did root for him. The story kept my attention if I was doing something else, like playing Spades on my IPad. If I hadn’t paid for this book, I most likely wouldn’t have finished it because too many parts were illogically cut short. Like when the protagonist finally comes face to face with the antagonists…why didn’t they talk. We could have gotten a better understanding of the bad guys.
L. L.Amour uses wonderful adjectives to describe scenery and conditions.

This book just proves L. A’More is the greatest western writer who ever wrote about cowboys, gunslingers and soiled doves. He lays the story out so well and neatly, it’s easy to follow the many interesting characters.
The narrator is superb.
I’d say this book is a bit more harrowing than some of his more popular ones, I’d give it a PG13 rating.
