SMALLPOX IS THE DISEASE THE TRAILSMAN IS THE CURE A band of outlaws calling themselves the Night Riders have taken it upon themselves to execute anyone infected with smallpox in order to stop the disease from spreading. But the Trailsman believes the Night Riders are even sicker than the illness-and has his own remedy to deliver.
Making his way across Nebraska, Skye Fargo comes upon a burning cabin, and an entire family shot execution-style. He soon learns that there's a killer on the loose: smallpox. And then there's the night riders, and they're out to make sure anyone with the disease - and those near them - don't live long enough to spread the illness. Now the Trailsman is going to give the cowardly killers a dose of their own medicine. Jon Sharpe has turned out another terrific entry in the Trailsman series. A story filled with strong and entertaining characters of both sexes. There are many memorable moments in this book but the strongest for me has to be the scenes in the prison stockade, particularly the beating of Skye Fargo and his hanging from the fence. These scenes so well written they created vivid images in my mind. Then there's the mystery elements as to what is really going on and just who is behind it all. When revealed the answer came as a complete surprise. This and the savage action all interspersed with moments of humour. This book was so well written I found it impossible to put down so found myself reading it in one sitting. If you're a fan of the Trailsman series then this is an entry not to be missed, if you just like a great western to read then this book should be on your too read list. Highly recommended.
