Man Hunter
by
Dusty Rhodes
Was it justice...or revenge? What drove a simple farmer to set out
on an impossible quest after a gang of bloodthirsty kllers that raped
and murdered his wife and slit his small son's throat?
Their trail led him halfway across the country and deep into Mexico.
One by one he tracked them down and brought them to justice, sometimes at the end of a short rope, more often in front of his fast guns,
and he didn't care which.

REVIEWS
"I just finished reading, Man Hunter, by Dusty Rhodes. This is one fantastic
book. I've always been a big fan of Zane Gray and Louis l'Amour, but they've
got nothing on this new author.
From the opening scene to the last page, Man Hunter is not to
be missed. This is the western genre at its very best. Non-stop
action and wonderfully developed characters will keep the reader
turning the pages long into the night. The author is a master
at putting a reader into the thick of the story with his command
of the time period. Dusty Rhodes is destined to become one of
the great western authors of our time. I can hardly wait for
his next book!"
---Marion Marshall, author of eight Historical Romance novels and 2002 winner
of the prestigious Eppie Award for best Historical Romance novel.
"Man Hunter" by Dusty Rhodes possesses all the criteria of a good western,
and then some. Rhodes' passion for the old west translates into a gripping
story of Matt Henry, an Arkansas farmer, seeking justice for the gang rape
and murder of his wife and murder of his young son.
Matt Henry's life hasn't been easy. Orphaned by an Indian raid at the age
of six, kidnapped then raised by the Apache, Matt became skilled at tracking
and fighting. Later, after escaping from the Apache, he learned to drive
cattle and handle a gun under the guidance of the cattle-drive ramrod, a
famed gunfighter. On Matt's sixteenth birthday he was goaded into a gunfight
and unjustly sentenced to Yuma Territorial Prison, a notorious hellhole.
Even then, Matt continued to learn - this time about survival.
All of these skills are brought into play when he goes after his family's
killers. One by one, he tracks them down and brings them to justice. Early
in his search he meets a lawman who helps even the odds against this gang
with the gift of two unique weapons. Matt's reputation spreads and he
becomes known as the Man Hunter, a man of justice but one to be feared.
Matt's search takes him halfway across the country and deep into Mexico. He
has major setbacks, impressive successes and somewhere along the way, he
finds something he hadn't expected -- love.
Before the final quest for the surviving gang members, Matt meets his old
friend - the ramrod who befriended him and who is now a Texas cattle baron.
Matt undertakes the biggest cattle drive in history -- driving
twenty-thousand head of longhorns all the way from Texas to Abilene, Kansas,
thereby establishing himself as an important figure in the cattle industry.
He still has unfinished business - finding and dealing with the remaining
killers.
Man Hunter manages to keep suspense at a high pitch throughout the book.
Rhodes gives his character a grittiness with a sure sense of justice, yet a
man of compassion and gentle nature. Bravo to Dusty Rhodes for this
award-winning masterpiece.
