Review: A New Hero in Town
Rating: 5 out of 5

Ned Cody is my new hero.  Big, strong, handsome, awkward but kind around the ladies, and good with his guns.  Buckshot is the first book I've read in the Ned Cody series, but it is a good story.  Martin writes in such a descriptive way that you feel you are right there in the story with the other characters.  I also liked the way the story includes some of the local history of that time and place.  One of the little subthemes of the story seems to be the way that people from many different places and ethnicities were able to come together in the west and create a brand new culture.  It is a good, entertaining read in the genre of westerns.
