Publisher's summary

At the age of 18, Oliver James Blackstone was the youngest deputy marshal in the state of Texas, and as the handpicked recruit of Marshal Andrew Lofton, there was no time to ease him into the position.

Fortunately, after years spent working in his uncle Jedediah's gun smith shop, there was hardly a weapon forged by human hands that Oliver couldn't expertly wield.

As Marshal Lofton would soon discover, not only was his new deputy deadly accurate, but he was also unbelievably fast, and with the ruthless Scorpion Hill Gang operating in Marshal Lofton's district, Oliver's skills would be tested time and again.

Although the citizens of Texas revered him as a guardian angel, the members of the outlaw gang would come to fear him as the Grim Reaper. But, unlike most gunslingers, Oliver's reputation spread slowly, because by the time an outlaw learned his name, they were already dead.

The Fastest Gun in the West

Great sequel to the first book. Comprehensive tale on how Oliver Blackstone became a marshal. Loved how there's good guys and bad guys, and the bad guys always lose.

Tom Lennon did a fantastic job narrating!

Good Story

I loved book 1 and this book 2 is great that it gives the reader Deputy Sheriff Blackstone's back ground and history. In this Story we get to see how he grows up and how it comes about that he becomes a Lawman. This book has hints of religious thought on how Mr. Blackstone accomplished this arrests in the 1st year he worked as a Lawman, which I did not care for, but otherwise a good book. Narrator does a Great job with Characters and the Entire Storyline

The Making of Oliver Blackstone

I enjoyed hearing the background on how Deputy Sheriff Oliver Blackstone became the great man he has become. I enjoyed this book as much as I enjoyed book one. The narrator did a phenomenal job bringing the story to life. The story just pulls you into Oliver's world and you become so engrossed that you just need to keep listening to find out what happens next and what evil he is about to take down. I highly recommend this book and series. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Great book for kids

I loved that this book was clean and kids could learn that crime never pays. It was well written and narrated. It kept my interest from start to finish. I believe I have reviewed this narrator before, and as I recall, he did great then, as well.

Recommend

This was a very suspenseful exciting story. I enjoyed finding out about Oliver's early years and all his conquests . It was very rewarding hearing how Oliver cleaned up on evil one after another. Courage, integrity, and tenacity to the core. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion. The narrator did an excellent job bringing it to life.

True Western

I really enjoy this series. The Marshall is a Good Man. Not corruptable and just in his responses. This is a true and authentic western in every way.
