Praise for the Caleb York Westerns "A straight-ahead, story-driven
Western about captives held by bad men in a ghost town called Hell
Junction. It is a straight-shooting, two-fisted Western that will
satisfy fans of the genre while paying homage to the Spillane
legacy."
--True West on Last Stage to Hell Junction "Max Allan Collins is
the closest thing we have to a 21st Century Mickey Spillane."
--This Week "Collins does a fine job of creating a realistic
environment and some pretty darned interesting characters."
--Booklist on The Bloody Spur "Well-crafted ...great fun."
--Publishers Weekly on The Bloody Spur "The authors have created a
protagonist larger than life--he usually comes through each
conflict without a scratch--who delivers all the cheeky dialogue
and comebacks...This book will not disappoint."
--Library Journal on The Legend of Caleb York "Using characters
created by Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins pays tribute to the
mythic West and casts an informed eye on the end of an era in The
Bloody Spur."
--True West "There are plenty of twists and turns here, as York
takes advantage of a break here, some luck there and an unexpected
ally who may well figure in potential future installments. In the
meantime, those delving into this fine work quickly find that there
is no good place to stop reading short of the last page. What
higher praise is there for a book than that?"
--Bookreporter on Last Stage to Hell Junction "As always, Collins'
prose is just as smooth and fast-flowing as can be, and his
characters are interesting, including the villains...If you're
looking for good, solid traditional Westerns with a hardboiled
edge, I highly recommend Last Stage to Hell Junction and the other
Caleb York novels."
