Critics Review
“Fans of classic shootist drama and the complex morality of the old west will find The Gun Man: Jackson Swagger wholly satisfying. Another in the long list of winners from Hunter.” * Men Reading Books *
“This is a Western espionage novel filled with unlikely twists and turns… tremendously explosive… A superb and engrossing book by an award-winning author and highly recommended.” * Historical Novel Society *
“The Gun Man Jackson Swagger is like a long lost script for a Clint Eastwood western that was supposed to be directed by madman Peckinpah, but it somehow got lost over time and has now been dusted off and polished by an expert craftsman.” – Zachary Leeman * Hollywood in TOTO *
“Hunter, with his great command of the action novel, excels again with his unputdownable book.” * Library Journal *
