Thunder Voice (Sam Keaton: Legend of Laramie, 4)

Summary: Charming and Entertaining
Review: 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.

Summary: A satisfactory conclusion to a great series
Review: 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.

Review: 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.
