Praise for "Robert B. Parker's Ironhorse "
"Hits with the intensity of an eight-gauge shotgun blast. "Ironhorse" is written by first-time novelist Robert Knott, taking over this series by the prolific Robert B. Parker. Knott was co-writer of the screenplay for the film version of "Appaloosa, " and it's obvious from "Ironhorse" that Virgil and Everett's fates are in excellent hands. Local readers will also enjoy the descriptions of 19th-century Oklahoma, as well as the joys and troubles of rail travel during that time, in addition to a rip-snorting tale full of sparse dialogue seasoned with wit as dry as an Oklahoma prairie wind and enough flying bullets and buckshot to fill a caboose."--"Tulsa World "
"Robert B. Parker's legion of fans will be thrilled with "Ironhorse." Robert Knott, co-writer of the screenplay for "Appaloosa"--Bob's remarkable western--has penned the next great saga featuring itinerant lawmen Everett Hitch and Virgil Cole. Knott's new novel reads just like vintage Parker and the storyline crackles with all the excitement and humor of what is a perfect continuation of the Hitch/Cole series. Parker fans are going to love it!"--Ed Harris, Academy Award-nominated actor
"Knott effortlessly handles the nonstop plot complications."--"Kirkus Reviews "
"Continues the classic Western tradition that the late Robert B. Parker featured in novels such as "Appaloosa "and "Blue-Eyed Devil.""--"NewsOK "
"[Knott] breathes life back into the characters Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch without missing a beat. He has the dialogue, the timing and the character of the two gunslingers-turned-marshals down. He has a new story. So it makes for a refreshing read. Parker would approve."--"Deseret News "
