Along the way, he meets a beautiful woman named Lou Macon and must navigate the treacherous terrain of the Wild West to protect her from harm. With thrilling shootouts, heart-pumping action, and a cast of unforgettable characters, ""Ronicky Doone's Reward"" is a classic Western tale that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end.He had a great proprietary, possessive air which was not really offensive. Now with one hand he turned Ronicky Doone around. With the other hand he struck a match and lighted a lamp and then held the light high, so that in the dusk he could examine the face of the youth. In another man it would have been intolerable impertinence, but in Al Jenkins it was simply an idiosyncrasy with which Ronicky for one was quite willing to put up. He even broke into laughter, as Al Jenkins stepped back and lowered the lamp, shaking his head in bewilderment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reviews

[Mateo Tomas]

2.5

Third and final book in Max Brands Ronicky Doone series. Stand alone, doesnt reference or depend on prior stories.

The writing is good but the story never connects. Its a threadbare setup that goes on and on, elements added that never feel like stakes. Unlike the prior two adventures of Ronicky, this one doesnt feel like he needs to be caught up in other peoples business.

Best part is a character named Curley whos a fool and liar and something of a comic relief until he isnt.

[Mike Grady]

A good, solid entry into the Ronicky Doone trilogy.

[Michael P.]

The study of pulp writing and writers continues. This book is not without interest, but would be twice as good at half the length.
