Review (PDF) Red River Revenge (Remington Book 1)
The Name is Remington...and he's the best there is. In an untamed territory that grinds most lawmen down to blood and bone, it takes a special breed to make justice more than just a fancy word. A man gunmetal hard, as fast as desert lightning-with the bains to outthink 'em and the guts to out fight 'em. Meet the law west of Stone County-Chief Territorial Marshal Ned Remington.Remington has his hands full, keeping a beautiful hellfire from the clutches of a killer and visa versa!

Deputy Marshal Ned Remington is called into Judge Samuel Barnstall's office to receive his next assignment. It's definitely not going to be an easy undertaking & gets more complicated the longer Judge Barnstall lays out the circumstances & hands him two warrants for Paco Gaton, aka El Cuchillo, The Blade, & Norville Haskins. Both are wanted for murder & cattle rustling after killing Woodrow Miller & his drover Frank Twokill & stealing a herd of cattle from the Mirror M Ranch in Osage, Arkansas. They have taken the herd into Texas & sold them to a rancher, Peter Van Hook which Remington will also get a warrant for as his past shady dealings of buying stolen cattle have earned him that privilege.To complicate matters even more, Remington is to find Woody's daughter as she witnessed the murders of her father & his drover. After giving her statement she took off for the Nations & is hiding with her Uncle. Judge Barnstall tells Remington he can "invite" two other deputies to join him in this little dance with the devil.This was a fast moving read that anyone who is drawn to this venue will enjoy.
I am writing this about 90% through the story. I have read several of this author's books and own several more. I was looking forward to enjoying this one. I am terribly disappointed that he just made this hero look super stupid and unworthy of the title of hero. Also I was never drawn very far into the story, nor do I care about the characters. I cannot dredge up enough interest to care about how the story even ends!! I may never finish it. What a shame, good stories and dependable writers are a valuable commodity, as far as I am concerned. Hope y'all like it better than I did. Happy reading!
Received an advance copy for an independent review. Interesting western about US marshals (sheriffs?) doing their duty to bring in killers/rustlers.There's enough action and adventure here, and the writing harkens back to the Hopalong Cassidy days. The characters are well-written but with some exception need more development (which I assume will occur in the sequel or sequels).The lead is Ned Remington, who is more fully fleshed out than the other characters. With a 3-years-past tragic loss of his wife, and the incapacitation of his daughter, some complexity is added to him.The bad guys are truly bad, and the deaths at their hands are often tragic.You learn that distances between states and territories can be measured in a few days, and means of transportation were more than just horseback and stagecoach.
A sweeping tale of the old west where stealing cattle creataes wealth ad wealth justifies protection and protection encourages outlaws. This vicious cycle spreads to kidnapping and murder and finally justice. A classic tale of the old west with plenty of action, twists and turns by an experienced author who knows his characters and settings. Well worth the time..NOTE --the above is based on a preview copy, sent with a request for this unbiased review.
Received an advance copy for an independent review. Have read other books by Robert Vaughn and enjoyed them. This one has a good story, in the area of the Red River, which provides a little more variety than the standard story about cattle and cowboys on a flat range. Enough drama to keep me reading. Would recommend to any fan of westerns which I have been since watching black and white westerns when we went to town on Saturday and I got too go to the "show" to see Tom Mix, Gene Autry or Hopalong Cassidy. Like the Chief Marshal Ned Remington and hope to see him again
This is the story of a lawman chasing after brutal men who are murderers and cattle rustlers. It was a very good story, and well written. It was easy for the reader to place their self into the story through the authors descriptive and emotional writing, I greatly enjoyed this book. This the second book by Robert Taylor I have read, and he is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
I received an advance copy for my honest review: I normally do not read westerns but this author knows not only how to grab your attention but keep it also! His story telling ability reminds me of the great Louis La'Amour. The characters are in depth, realistic and it doesn't take long to care about the main characters. I quickly became invested in the Marshall and his life. Read this book, you will NOT regret it!!
It was my pleasure to preview this book and once again mr Vaughan has done a great job of weaving a great tale of he old west!If you are a fan of Louis LaMoure you will also become a fan of Robert Vaughan! Both authors keep you reading and their booksAre hard to put down. Robert Vaughan is fast becoming my first choice in western authors.
