To start out on my soapbox, I would like to say that whoever wrote the summary on the back of this book should be shot. They should be shot after they are forced to actually read the book. The back has nothing to do with the book.

Okay, got that out of the way.

This was another Ghost Rider romp from Sigmund Brouwer's fine pen. The western aspects again were excellent and historically accurate. The mystery was good, although easier to figure out as a reader than the previous Ghost Rider books. I did like the fact that Sam gets out of Wyoming and heads to a different state to uncover another mystery and more attempts on his life.

I cannot say too much without giving away the entire plot. So I won't. I will add my one criticism of this book: Brouwer wraps this one up much too quickly. It seems that he ran out of space in the book and had to quit with the whole thing in 10 pages. Quick! Explain the mystery, sort out the characters, get home, and add a happy ending! The ending was too abrupt and too unsatisfactory.

So, all together, this was a good book of a great series. I recommend the entire Ghost Rider series.

What can I say? Samuel Keaton has taken my breath away in every one of his fast paced, heart pounding, and oddly funny adventures. And " Thunder Voice" is no exception.
The last of four books, I felt that this one was the slower one of the others. Less brawn and more brain is what this small town marshall needed in his search for renegade Texas Rangers, the murderer of an old drunk, and if a wealthy widow's sister was murdered or commited suicide.
It also left the reader wondering if this extremely loveable character would fin love with the Right widow.

It's been a year since the events of Sun Dance, the last book in this fine series. Samuel Keaton has stayed off the bottle and tried to get on with his life, but it hasn't been easy. But then two Texas Rangers show up looking for a man brutally murdered in January. Instead of answering Sam's questions, they try to kill him. A beautiful woman also shows up, claiming a connection between the dead man and the death of her sister. Hardly trusting her, Sam follows the trail to Pennsylvania, where his life is in danger around every turn. Can he stay alive long enough to sort through all the clues and reach the right conclusion?

This book had me hooked from the moment I picked it up. Every time you get one answer, it leaves you with more questions. Sam, his friends, and their world are so realistic, that it draws you right in. I must disagree with the previous reviewer because I didn't feel the ending was rushed at all but reached a logical and fulfilling conclusion. And the epilogue tying up Sam's personal life left me smiling for hours.

This series is must reading. I plan on rereading these books many times over the years to come.

I have to say this book is good because it is a good
clean read which is truly an accomplishment for a western story-line. However, I do not recommend it if you are looking for a fast moving cliffhanger. It reminds me a little of the ole-style country/western songs...it has a tendency to drag on. Sorry Mr. Brouwer, the first book in this series, 'Evening Star' drew me in but this one fizzled out. Do not give up on S. Bouwer
though - he is a great writer...maybe just not westerns?

Samuel Keaton has returned to Laramie, this time as the Sheriff. But things aren't as simple as arresting the occasional drunk. There's the traveling revivalist in the cell arrested for attempted murder who taunts Samuel whenever he's in the office. Then there's the double murder in the bank vault set up to look like a robbery gone wrong. And, to make matters worse, a gang of confederates has wandered into town. While they aren't causing any trouble, the townsfolk blame them for everything bad happening in town and are mad at Samuel because he's not taking any action. His hands are tied, however, because of lack of evidence.

Sigmund Brouwer has written another great book. Samuel Keaton's world is enhanced by the introduction of Doc and Jake. The mystery is very engaging and the writing style is relaxed, inviting the reader to sit back and enjoy. I highly recommend this entertaining mystery, originally released as "Moon Basket."

You will have a new awareness of the golden days of radio theater,if you have never heard it before. All others will take an amazing trip down memory lane,a trip that will remind you that images don't always have to flash on a screen,and can flash just as vividly in your mind's eyes, as in the two in the front of you head. The Cisco Kid episodes rank as the most childish of the bunch.the best are the Six Shooter,Jimmy Stewart could do any acting job credibly. Followed by Gunsmoke,and the lone Ranger Hopalong Cassidy with Andy Clyde repriseing his movie roll as sidekick California Carlson,and Fort Laramie.Gunsmoke is the most unusual as Bill Conrad was a wide as Arness was tall as Matt Dillon but Conrad's voice and acting ability were amazing.Also The Mayor of Mayberry Parley Bear plays Chester Proudfoot.and Floyd the Barber Howard MacNear playsDoc,and Georgia Ellis long time Jack Webb cast alum plays Kitty. You will be absorbed in all this stuff no matter where you listen these. Good Luck and Enjoy.
