Summary: The Last Gunfighter: Rescue
Review: This is the 7th in the Gunfighter series, which follows Frank Morgan in his quest for a peaceful retirement which continues to elude him. In this story, he is in California, where he initially is mistaken for another man, a notorious outlaw. That man, Val Dooley, was the basis for the previous story, Imposter.

I have been hooked on Johnstone's writing since first encountering the series, which follows the man known as The Drifter in a years-long series of encounters of bad people all over the west.

I have written to Mr. Johnstone, telling him that never since all the Louis L'Amour books have I been so taken with a series of tales. I told him that his writing style is different from L'Amour's, but at the same time is equally thrilling. It has been a long time since I have had to struggle to put a book down, and this one finishes the Gunfighter series so far as I can determine.

But, I hope that is not the case. I am ready to read more stories of Frank Morgan, and hope one day he is allowed to find peace and settle down with a good woman.

I highly recommend the series and intend to start reading other of Mr. Johnstone's works.
