If you're a fan of Robert B. Parker's 'Spenser' series of detective novels, and a fan of Westerns, too, then you're in for a real treat in his novels featuring Everett n' Hitch, the 2 protagonists of 'Appaloosa', 'Resolution' and now 'Brimstone'. There will be one final episode in this series, due for release this month (May 2010), which I believe is entitled 'Blue-Eyed Devil'. Since Parker's untimely demise recently, I am eagerly looking forward to this last "chapter" about Hitch and Everett and their steely-eyed exploits....not just good versus evil, but also right against wrong, greed & power-hungry folks. This series is not just a set of novels, but is also a character study of human nature, and the things that make people do what they do ~ read 'em all; you won't be disappointed!!!Read full review
I bought Brimstone because it was cheaper than anywhere else. I am not a collector, so the condition of the book did not matter. In fact, I have already put it back on EBAY and sold it for the same price I paid. The book was a former library book and was stamped accordingly. As I said, it did not matter to me. I liked the book because I am a fan of Westerns and also of Robert B. Parker, may he RIP.
Boy, will I miss this guy. Loved this book and all of his other books as well. Talks to you as you are part of the story and makes you feel and see everything that is happening as it happens. Highly recommended, start with the first of the series and each will be more enjoyed as it passes through time. Get these books and all of Robert Parkers books. So sorry we won't have him to help us through our reading experiences.
This is the third in a series of novels about two interesting and unique characters from the west. The storyline is catching, the characters human and very interestig. With the recent passing it is indeed unfortunate that this will be the final chaper in the lives of our two heroes, so it should definitely not be missed. Easy reading, short chapters, and just hard to put down.
Parker's style is perfect for western genre - his characters are as great as always. This is the third in this series (Appaloosa, Resolution..) This may be the best of the three.
