Nice Western Story, Jan 31 2010
By Eskychesser - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fatal Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
I am an avid reader of everything and after catching 'Unforgiven' on television one afternoon I had the craving for a Western. So - I was at the store and saw this book and decided to give it a bite. I'm glad I did! It was a very good story. Of course, this type of book won't bang down the doors of the great literature halls, but for a story it was well worth the money.
The premise of the story is obvious and the plot is predictable, but what I really liked about the book is that Compton made me laugh several times and also put my imagination to work when the main character got into some trouble with odd outlaws. Compton also gets you to FEEL emotionally for the main character - which for me gives the story huge credibility. For all that - the book would get 5 stars. However, a few tangles in Compton's language broke my attention a couple times and although the ending was great, it seemed rushed, so I have to knock off a star for that. Still - this is a very good story and I'm glad I was able to experience a wonderful ride with Marshal Asher Thrall.

A western delight, Jan 28 2011
By Michele Greene "Michele Greene" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fatal Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
If you love westerns you will love this book. This book should be made into a movie. If it was done in the 60s Clint Eastewood would be the main character,70s or 80s Sam Elliot would be outstanding. This book is a must read for anyone who love a great western. The sheriff is out to get the man who shot him and he is dying every step of the way looking for the man who is responsible for his death before he dies. Terrific. I got at the thirft store for 50 cents. What a steal.

A Dead Man Walking, a must read western!, Jan 19 2010
By Kathy J. Kolega "mountain_katt" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fatal Justice (Mass Market Paperback)
Revenge? Simple enough. Someone does something to you and you get even. But this story is far from simple. Revenge isn't the only operative.
Marshall Ashton Thrall no longer is wearing his badge, but he is on the trail of one of the vilest outlaws there is, Ben Sharkey. As long as there is one breath left his body, he is going to get his man. Or is he? Those breaths are numbered. Ashton Thrall is a shawdow of the man he once was. It isn't only justice or revenge that is keeping him going. There is a lot more to this story than meets the eye.
Time is running out. There is lots of action. You find yourself hooked from the beginning. Addicted to what is going to happen next.
This is one of the best character studies of a man I've read in a western in a long time. Great read well worth your time!
