Wandering gun-hand John Fury meets up with an old pal, now a prosperous shopkeeper with a target on his back, in Jim Austin's River War.
Soon Fury is working as a sort-of bodyguard for his friend, and has his plate more than full.
Austin and the (brief) John Fury western series were written by prolific author James Reasoner. As a seasoned hand himself, Reasoner hits all the right beats, with plenty of gunplay, as well as a dangerous riverboat trip, hostile Indians, a buffalo stampede, and a prairie fire, among other misadventures.
Reasoner creates an enjoyable outing for fans of the genre.
I borrowed River War, and one more John Fury book, from the Parker City Library in Parker City, Indiana, and read this one quickly.
