Product Description
Ingram
Heroin has been smuggled into Dallas, packaged as medicine. Now a child is in the hospital, and Walker is out to find the smuggler. But the men he's looking for are old enemies, who have waited for the opportunity to strike back at the man who put them in prison. Walker must track them down--before their revenge destroys him--and the streets of Dallas.

Undemanding fare for Walker/Norris followers.,
This review is from: Walker Texas Ranger (Paperback)
A fairly non-descript tie-in for Norris' morality/martial arts-lite tv vechicle. There is a great character submerged here, i.e Lone Wolf Gonzales upon whom the earlier incarnation of Walker was derived, but, heartbreakingly, here, in Reasoners novel as with the tv show, the grittiness and any much needed depth is absent. Perfuctionary stuff as it is, Walker is a difficult figure not to warm to, as this book demonstrates, but one gets to feel almost as frustrated as the real life Texas ranger may have, in the sense that his true colours and abilities, and ironically, those of Norris' are being diluted, understandably, for mass appeal. Walker needs to get down and dirty to make the character breathe, and unfortunately this offering barely touches the surface. Still, if Walker does it for you, great, but, for this reader and viewer Norris' original take on this theme, JJ McQuade holds far more creditable dimension and weight.

Excellent Book!,
By Richard Goettel (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hell's Half Acre (Walker Texas Ranger, Book 2) (Paperback)
I really enjoy the show, so I decided to try the books! I am not disappointed at all. The book flows well so you won't be bored. I also liked how they included in the story the story of the cowboy from 1910.

BETTER THAN THE FIRST,

This review is from: Hell's Half Acre (Walker Texas Ranger, Book 2) (Paperback)
Despite the nitpickings of some readers I found Hell's Half Acre to be the best of the Walker, Texas Ranger novels so far. A story worthy of a teleplay (and why isn't Mr. Reasoner on tap to write an episode?) with all the little touches that bring out the characters to the fans while not confusing new readers with meaningless trivia. The way Reasoner handles the storyline involving Ranger Cooper shows his knowledge of the old west and Fort Worth in particular. For those readers who enjoyed the Cooper sections and good old fashioned westerns I heartliy recommend the authors Judge Earl Stark series.
