"Sheriff Jack is the bad-ass protagonist that you want in any action series, and when you finish, you will not be disappointed. 5/5" ( Bauman Book Reviews)

Incomplete story

I was sold on this book by a friend who hadn't listened to it yet. We both liked the premise: "Time traveller goes back into the old west"

The first 1-2 hours... seemed to deliver on that... then....

Everything unravels. The writer introduces multiple story threads, and barely relates them to each other. He has characters spend time togehter, remarks that one is brimming with questions... and asks NONE of them. Zero exposition to explain what the hell the author is trying to say.

I also blame GoodReads as apparently this "first" book, was a collection of 5, previously smaller stories, now put together. I thought this would mean it was a complete story, But no, it's barely an introduction, and despite being published 4 years ago, the sequel is only now being released in July (no word on audio adaptaion).

Stick a pin in this, come back in a decade to see if it's done, then waste a credit or 3.

Great start to a series

Looking forward to the next installment. Good pace and great settings. Very interested in continuing.
