It seems there is no stopping the ideas that pour from the pen of Van Holt. Having finished twenty six published novels with four more scheduled for publication in the very near future, Holt has taken on the concept of ebooks and made them ride the range. People seem hungry for these tomes of yesteryear - back in the days before CGI blighted our imagination synapses  and we were dependent on fine writers to take us on a trip outside the everyday world in which we live.But the stories keep rolling and while we would expect there to be some repetition in themes or in characters the novels continue to be fresh. SON OF A GUNSLINGER is a strong story about a lad by the name of Dan Whitton who grew up in the shadow of a father named Bob Whitton, a true desperado gunslinger who was hunted by the man responsible for the death of his true love. Whitton senior was killed and his murderer is still alive and Dan Whitton responds to his mother's dying wish that he find the killer of Bob Whitton. Throw in mysterious strangers, subterfuge and some rowdy gunfights and you're immersed in the magic that makes Van Holt's Western dramas the best being written today. How it all turns out - leave that to the curiosity of the spaghetti westerns. Grady Harp, September 13
