Review
"A sizzler! Newcomb brings to life a larger-than-life frontiersman who strode boldly into legend. One helluva good book by a storyteller working at top form." --Matt Braun, Golden Spur Award-winning author of "The Kincaids" "Kerry Newcomb is one of those writers who lets you know from his very first lines that you're in for a ride. And he keeps his promise. "The Red Ripper" bounds along with unrelenting vigor. This is historical fiction crafted by a writer who never loses his sense of pace, drama, adventure, and fun. Kerry Newcomb knows what he is doing, and does it enviably well." --Cameron Judd, Golden Spur Award-nominated author of "Texas Freedom" "With the historical accuracy of a L'amour novel, the characters are well drawn, leaving the reader to feel the openness and harsh challenges of the Texas frontier...Don't expect to get any sleep when you start this one." --John J. Gobbell, bestselling author of "The Last Lieutenant" "The ornery, pugnacious and legendary William 'Bigfoot' Wallace, a sometime Texas Ranger and full-time knife-fighter, strides through early 19th-century Texas history in this rangy, fast-moving historical novel." --"Publishers Weekly" "An entertaining tale of high adventure and low villains." --"Booklist"

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
