1867. The Civil War is over. Yet there is much unrest and resentment that lives on throughout the land, and in the hearts of many...

Marco steps out of the ashes of the war; a man turned bounty hunter had everything which mattered most to him violently stripped away. So he emerges with a burning desire like none other to find redemption, and a new purpose in life. He sets off into a brave new world on the other side of the wall made up by the towering peaks of the Rocky mountains as centuries of long-lasting peace in the many acres of land is about to come to a dramatic end as the desert will witness like never before...

With the ever present growing influence of wrongdoers and other outlaws challenging the limited reach of the sheriff in the humble town of Cotton Turnaround, Marco sees an opportunity to bring about justice in a way that only he can do.

It's going to be a challenge like none other. More than even he knows. But with an unchecked determination, he is like a force of nature that is going to step up, and is ready for the task at hand as he sets off into the unknown to do his part, and find his share of the American dream. But will the shadows of his past define him?

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't mess with Marco Martinez
Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2022

I am a huge fan of westerns and any book that has a storyline to tell I want to read. In brief, this books storyline takes place after the American Civil War is over. But that doesn't change the constant stresses and tensions that continue on, some leaving effects on the lives of many people. It all takes place in the year 1867, in the Arizona territory. A young man by the name Marco Martinez whose profession is of bounty hunter decides to go on a journey searching for his piece of a western legendary dream. During that course of time, Marco is instead faced with past and present hardships and unwanted face off's with others. Marco and character Willian were always at it. I enjoyed the fighting scenes between them and the words said back and forth between them. Another character I liked was Marshal Madison from Utah. He had a small family, wife Margaret and young daughter Lucie. He also had a dog named Bingo. For this being a self published book, I found the narratives storyline to be a good rather entertaining read. From the start of read there is some western action, I was drawn to the main character Marco. The added in plot is creative and goes deep. The gun powder, the fights, the train stand are all a good add in to the western aura. Though it was off at times that Marco would speak in lengths in an angry and impassioned way to his horse especially since it wasn't the horses fault. Other times he run out of shotgun shells which would frustrate him even more. The author dedicates the book to his uncle, Mark, who inspired him to
turn this story into a book, and to his father, who encouraged
him. He also writes about his young growing years and how he felt mostly as an outcast at times. He wrote this books storyline with passion.
Overall book is good, but slow read. The added image of the cowboy was a good idea as it reflects good on the storyline. Book's formatting is rather good, needs only minor editing which doesn't take away from the storyline. I gave the author a *5 star because I feel he deserves it for giving it his best in both effort and chosen western storyline. Thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Writer has a flair for character and dialogue
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2023
This book follows the adventure of Marco Martinez, a bounty hunter in the post-Civil War American West. The writer has a flair for character and dialogue. The book is populated with characters with names such as Marshall Madison and towns such as Town Turnaround and conveys the spirit of the old West: the colorful characters, the boozy mining towns and independent spirits such as Marco Martinez.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Gentleman as Bounty Hunter
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2023
I liked the cover and the synopsis of the novel. But I was expecting more action and less long-winded dialogue from the characters. I guess I am used to more Clint Eastwood Westerns where he barely said a dozen words in the course of a couple of hours.
For me, Marco is the most gentlemanly bounty hunter in the West. He concerns himself with cutting in line, and sneezing from dust in a woman's face. God Bless You? Would Paladin have ever cared?
There is much telling, either through narrative or dialogue, and minimal showing. "Information dumps" and cliches detract from the story lines. I was not able to develop a strong like or dislike of the main character or others.
Last, the author deserves kudos for writing and self-publishing this western story because I know it took quite a bit of work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Marco Martinez: The long-windiest Bounty Hunter this side of the Rockies
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020
Initially, this novel seems to be like The Last Wish- old western style- dealing with highway robbers instead of monsters, but as the pages drag on, so does the diatribes of our "fearless" bounty hunter. Between him ranting to his horse feeling sorry for himself, and constantly running out of ammunition, by the end of the novel you realize the only way he is considered the "best" is because he constantly claims to be so.

3.0 out of 5 stars An enthusiastic storyteller
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2022
Marco Martinez: The best Bounty Hunter this side of the Rockies is an ecstatic book told with such enthusiasm that it often gets the better of itself. It's told with the frenzy of someone who has just witnessed something otherworldly and is so amped up you aren't sure how to take it. For instance, there are numerous occasions where scenes from a superhero movie take place--like when Marco grabs someone from the collar as he rides a horse, only to toss the man into a moving train--which seem out of place for a gritty western about a bounty hunter. There is a lot of joy and enthusiasm here, though, and it makes this author one to watch. And unlike so much of modern fiction, there is VOICE here, an AUTHOR, which is always welcome. Let's just hope that chap thrown on the moving train was an editor to help with Mr. Allan's next outing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun!
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023
This book is set in post-Civil War America and follows a young man named Marco who becomes a bounty hunter. The author writes about the West and its people in a way that makes you feel like you're there. Marco is a complex character who tries to find his place in the world while facing his past. The story is about adventure, finding yourself, and what it means to be good. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, action, and characters who grow and change!
