Kid Fury

 Kid Fury

by

Michael D. George

The remote settlement of War Smoke lies quiet - until the calm is shattered by a gunshot. Marshal Matt Fallen and his deputy Elmer spring into action to investigate. Then another shot rings out, and cowboy Billy Jackson's horse gallops into town, dragging its owner's corpse in the dust: one boot still caught in its stirrup, and one hand gripping a smoking gun. Meanwhile, the paths of hired killer Waco Walt Dando and gunfighter Kid Fury are set to converge on War Smoke...

Matt Fallen has his hands full in this fast‑paced western. A murder kicks things off, and before the dust can settle, two deadly gunmen ride into town. One is a hired killer, determined to make this the marshal’s final sundown. The other is barely more than a boy—Kid Fury—quick on the draw and burdened with a reputation he never wanted. Like it or not, he may be the only hope Matt Fallen has left. Black Horse Westerns don’t get the recognition they deserve. Sure, like any line, a few stories miss the mark, but crack one open and you’re almost guaranteed a fast, exciting ride. This book is no exception. Strong characters, intrigue, suspense, and enough action to keep the pages flying. I’ve read several of Michael D. George’s novels over the years, and this one delivers exactly what I’ve come to expect.

5/5.
