Reviews

[Donadee's Corner]

"Guns of Arizona: A Land Where Legends Are Made" by John Legg is the first book in the Arizona Territory series. The story follows Jack Guthrie and his new wife, Addie, as they leave Apache Springs for California, only to be thwarted by Apache warriors. Taking refuge in the town of Bonito, they find themselves cut off and under siege. Guthrie, driven by the need to protect the townspeople, challenges the Apache war chief, Esparto, to a decisive battle. This gripping Western novel is filled with action, bravery, and the rugged spirit of the Old West.

Very good, slightly different style than I’m used too!

I got this book on a fluke. I was trying out western authors I’ve not read before. Tried this one, I’m hooked. I’d just read 2 really poor authors, cleaned my mind with a history book, and started this book. It was a page turner. I’ll read more.

Easy...

Easy to visualize while you're reading. This is the mark of a great book ! I very much like John Legg's writing style , crisp and real ( smack ) and keeps you immersed.

Wonderful

Legg has yet again created a true masterpiece. Gun fights, Indians and if course romance. Everything a good Western requires.

[Rita Jean]

This guy writes like he has never has a pregnant significant other, ever driven through the West and never gone to a shooting range.
