Reviews
4.0 out of 5 stars By Elizabeth J. Buck - Published on Amazon.com "Len Levison enlivens his characters with a realism that engages his readers immediately. The author portrays vividly the main character's loyalty to his childhood friend and love as he searches the Western frontier for her at the end of the Civil War. I am hoping for a sequel that leads John Stone to happiness." 5.0 out of 5 stars By Gloria - Published on Amazon.com "Lynch law this is a great western . I have read every book Louis glamour, Zane Grey, Ralph Compton, and every known writer. This book rates with the best. I should know I've read all of them. It is a 5 star book would recommend to anyone who loves westerns." 5.0 out of 5 stars A great followup to the first SEARCHER title By Jack Badelaire - Published on Amazon.com"I'm a great fan of Levinson's work and I'll read pretty much anything he's written, but I'm especially enjoying his SEARCHER series. Here, John Stone becomes the target of vengeance for Hank Dawson, a corpulent land baron of sorts who "owns" almost everything (and, de facto) everyone in and around the town of Dumont. When Stone defends a Chinese waiter in a restaurant from the abuse of Dawson's son and kills a couple of Dawson's men, he's locked up in the local jail only to find himself being fitted for a lynch mob's noose. Stone manages to escape the mob, but Dawson's son is killed in the fracas, and Dawson vows to scour the earth in order to find and kill Stone, and woe betide anyone who gets in his way. "The action is fun and fast, with Levinson's easy, enjoyable style. There's a good cast of secondary characters who come and go through the novel, and there are plenty of twists and turns. You definitely find yourself wondering on many occasions how Stone is going to escape his predicament, and it makes for a highly enjoyable read. As much as I enjoyed the first novel in this series, I think this is the book that ropes us in (no pun intended) and keeps us interested in the books to come."Purchase from these Retailers
