A good book
Keith Baker writes about Longshot, who worked for the Union during the Civil War as a spy. Great read!
not as good as some others in the series
If you like Louis Lamour westerns all the Longshot’s should be good reads
Good book for being entertained and learning some about history.
Interesting insight into USA history
If you enjoy westerns, you will enjoy this book. This is the first time I’ve read this author, and I will be following up with more of Keith Baker’s work.
I really like these books. Well written, interesting, good read.
Well written, but a bit dry. Nice historical references.
An entertaining read out of my usual genre.
I love these Long Shot books, this is the 3rd one I’ve read and it’s always a treat
i liked all three books in this series.
Quite half way through. Not very interesting.
It plodded rather at times and the switching between scenarios tended to be confusing. As a Welshman I found the author’s interpretation of a Welsh accent to be very Irish, though to be fair this was a very small element. In fact I nearly decided to stop reading at about the 2/3 point but I did continue nevertheless. I can’t say that I’m inspired to read more of this author’s works.
Audible reader is weak.
Great read! Good plot and characters.
The character development could be a little stronger and parts of the story happen faster then they should. It was a missed opportunity to add more.
A good, solid read.
I am now following this Author. I love the series. Follow the family, hear the history and the stories.
The writing is great I like the character and time period and am looking forward to his next book.
