The Sunshine Killers

by Giles Tippette

Book Overview

Saulter rides into the town of Sunshine, still raw from the bullet hole in his side. He's not looking for trouble, just a place to rest up and heal. But Sunshine's not as warm as the name suggests, and neither are the locals--they plan to kill the U.S. President and they don't want Saulter messing up their plans. Previous publisher: Dell.

A fanatastic book

I thought this was a fantastic Western story; and in all honesty I am not biased as I was the man on the original cover of the book; illustrated by my friend Tim Tanner; and it was truly a Sharps buffalo rifle I was holding when we did the photo shoot for the painting I modeled for. Giles Tippette is truly an outstanding writer and has held his own in the world of the Western genre..Doug Lindauer, ...

Would have been a great Eastwood film

This book should have been made into a Clint Eastwood movie when it came out. The main character, Saulter, seemed to have been tailor-written for Eastwood. The mannerisms, the laconic speaking style, even the cover of the original novel had a picture of a a man reslembling Eastwood aiming a Sharps buffalo rifle at an unseen target. As for the story, it was one of the best westerns I'd ever read. A dispicable main villain, a shadowy boss, and a foul-mouthed whore with a heart of gold she never let anyone see, were top-notch. Some of the other characters, namely Billy and Chiffo, were great. The final shootout is one of the best in print.
