By Kerry Newcomb

Book Overview

Praise for Kerry Newcomb's Texas Anthem series: "[Kerry Newcomb] knows where the West begins...In the tradition of Louis L'Amour and John Jakes, he blends fast-paced action, pulse-raising romance and historically accurate settings."--Dallas Morning News "Adrenaline-pumping!"--Booklist Praise for The Red Ripper: "[A] rangy, fast-moving historical novel [with an] action-filled plot...broad-brush sagebrush scenes and the romance of the Texas Republic."--Publishers Weekly "Readers are rewarded with an entertaining tale of high adventure and low villains."--Booklist "A sizzler...Kerry Newcomb brings to life Big Foot Wallace, a larger-than-life frontiersman who strode boldly into legend. One helluva good book by a storyteller working at top form." --Matt Braun, Golden Spur Award-winning author of The Kincaids "Kerry Newcomb is one of those writers who lets you know from his very first lines that you're in for a ride. And he keeps his promise. The Red Ripper bounds along with unrelenting vigor. This is historical fiction crafted by a writer who never loses his sense of pace, drama, adventure, and fun. Kerry Newcomb knows what he is doing, and does it enviably well." --Cameron Judd, Golden Spur Award-nominated author of Texas Freedom "A compelling mix of passion, revenge, and a gallant people's quest for freedom. With the historical accuracy of a L'Amour novel, the characters are well drawn, leaving the reader to feel the openness and harsh challenges of the Texas frontier...Don't expect to get any sleep when you start this one."--John J. Gobbell , Bestselling author of The Last Lieutenant Praise for Mad Morgan: "Colorful, old-fashioned adventure...Awash with treachery and romance, this well-spun yarn fairly crackles with danger and suspense. Vigorous historical fiction."--Booklist i0 "Swashbuckling adventure!"--Indianapolis Star

Couldn't put it down!

I am a student, of sorts, of Native American History. I stumbled upon this book by accident, and was intriged by the story summary. I was not disappointed. The author spun a tale with rich characters, history, drama and a heartwrenching ending that kept me reading till the wee hours. I also thought his Native American characters were respectfully depicted. That is very important to me. I look forward to other books by this author. If this is his usual caliber of writing, I have found a new favorite.
