Editorial Book Review For Bounty Hunter Nate Landry-Major
Issues by Mark L. Redmond
Book 1: Bounty Hunter Nate Landry.
5 Stars: The Language Of A Six-Shooter!
Author Mark L. Redmond is a western action-adventure writer,
who takes his readers back to the old wild west in 1877, where campfire coffee
is strong, and everyone knows the language of a six-shooter.
Chapter One of Bounty Hunter Nate Landry: Major
Issues opens in Florence, Arizona, when Bounty Hunter Nate Landry returns
home to find Anna Thomas waiting in his cabin with her pistol aimed straight at
him. Anna is a mother on a mission to recover her kidnapped son Daniel.
The adventure unfolds as Nate and his trusted companion
Wolf, accompanied by Anna, begin their search for Daniel Thomas.
Here is a quote from Chapter Six, as Nate, Wolf, and Anna go
in search of bad man Major Campbell.
…We rode in silence for nearly an hour, letting the horses
run awhile in the coolness of the morning. I was praying and watching. One of
the things that made Campbell so dangerous was the fact that he was
unpredictable. He had often succeeded in defeating the rebs by making moves
that no other officer would have considered. He had never cared about
sacrificing the lives of his men. Most of the time, the insanity of his tactics
had protected his soldiers. He had favored the element of surprise, and he had
known how to make it work in his favor. I reckoned Campbell hadn’t changed.
…I considered the matter of what to tell Anna about Campbell
and how we had met David. We had no idea of what she already knew about this
devil who had murdered her husband and stolen her son. And then she told us.
“We named him after you,” Anna said.
…I looked at her, but she stared straight ahead. “Daniel
Nathan Thomas,” she said. “David wanted to name our son after you. He said you
and Wolf had saved his life. He was wounded and came home a year before the war
ended.
…He told me about what happened to the other men who were
captured with him. He always believed that God had spared him so that he could
take care of me—”
…Anna began to cry softly.
… “I’d like to kill Campbell very slowly,” Wolf said.
… “I reckon he’d do the same to us if he got the chance,” I
said.
… “If and when he finds out who we are,” Wolf said, “he’ll
come after us. We have the edge right now because we know who he is. All he
knows about us is that we’re two riders escorting Mrs. Thomas.”
If you need a change of pace, miss the old, wholesome
western stories, and appreciate mid-western Christian values, Bounty
Hunter Nate Landry: Major Issues should be your next read. Author Mark L.
Redmond has two western books for “grownups” and six westerns in
his Adventures of Arty Anderson series, geared for middle grade
readers.
