Customer Reviews

Great Western!

I've always been a fan of the Western Novel but all too often I've faced poorly written material. Not so with Shadow Warrior! This is a great western in the old tradition and one can only hope that J. C. Gotcher will visit the keyboard again!

Wanting more...

J.C. Gotcher has captured the true spirit of the Western novel. He introduces us to characters and in turn lets us truly get to know them - so well, that we're not always sure who to cheer for and in the end we miss them all. I especially appreciate that Gotcher doesn't force a relationship between reader and character, but allows it to develop on its own. This is a fabulous read and one I will enjoy again.

A Thrilling Journey Back in Time

A great story with non-stop action. You won't be able to put this one down. A unique blend of great story telling with a lot of historical accuracy. You are captivated by the wit and grit of the characters in a clash of cultures. It captures the spirit and realism of the old west.

A Great Read For Lovers Of A Good Story

This book, gripping with non- stop action, reminds me of a story your grandfather might have shared with you on a long road trip.It truly feels and speaks of another time. There are three main characters locked in a three-way struggle.This is not your typical good guy- bad guy western.I liked the freshness the author brings to this genre(and this is from a dyed in the wool Louis L'Amour fan!).This book is picturesque,exciting,and thought-provoking.If you love a great story this book is for you.
