Muleshoe Review

Muleshoe

Jess Butcher has done very well with his graphic "Muleshoe" trip through backwoods Oklahoma and Kansas. It is set in some pretty remote, but interesting country. Entertaining, easy to read and follow, this is a good effort. You'll have a a good number of chuckles with this one. Butcher's real-life characters are vividly described, and ....many of them we can identify with or recognize as those we must have known from somewhere. A very enjoyable, quick read, highly recommended!

Death is about to descend upon tiny Muleshoe, Kansas. Mike Bishop has arrived in the sleepy little town on a mission to recover a legendary cache of rare gold coins and Confederate currency. But others are racing to recover the treasure as well. Local Sheriff Laura Moss cautiously joins Bishop in his search. Together they unearth a dark secret; a secret with roots dating back to the Civil War, William Quantrill's planned assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, and an unexplained series of grisly local murders spanning more than a century.The line between good and evil blurs as Bishop and Sheriff Moss struggle to survive a murderous local legend ' a legend that threatens to turn the Kansas prairie black with blood.

I was pretty far into the first book before it became clear that it was not the first in its series. I checked online and found this collection pulls from three different series (and some stand alone works). Most of the series works are out or order.
If you want to follow the correct order, try this:
Ross Murdock/Time War Series:
The Time Traders (1st in series)
The Defiant Agents (3rd)
Key out of Time (4th)
(series is 7 books long)
Solar Queen Series:
Plague Ship (2nd)
Voodoo Planet (3rd)
(series is 7 books long)
Drew Rennie Series:
Ride Proud Rebel (1st)
Rebel Spurs (2nd)
The other books are either the only entry from their series, or are stand alone works.

The Time Traders (Part of Norton's "Forerunner" universe) Review

If you're like me, you read these novels as a youngster in the late 50's or early 60's, and you were drawn in not just by the no-wasted-motion adventure/scifi style for which Ms. Norton became so well loved, but by the glimpses of a not-too-distant future that was clearly based on a somewhat uncertain present. The style is still there in this new edition, but the future, sadly, is gone. For reasons that elude me, the political/cultural milieu of the original near-future has been updated (the Bad Guys are no longer "Reds," they're from a post-USSR-breakup "resurgent Russia"), and the result is not a good fit. The narrative and characterizations still have that squeaky-clean Fifties feel, so the 90's references feel anachronistic. Part of the pleasure of reading classic sf is to enjoy the retro flavor; this attempt to overlay a contemporary veneer simply rings false. What's worse, the paperback edition, which I purchased, bears no indication anywhere that these revisions exist. I discovered them only as I read along and became increasingly disturbed by things that didn't fit. If you want to read a classic, and especially if you want to relive the experience of reading the classic you remember from your youth, do yourself a favor and track down the original text.

Just a quick comment. I love Andre Norton. I have almost all of her books in my physical library. 5 stars for the content of this collection. However, all of these titles are available for free download at gutenberg.org. Project Gutenberg has thousands of free ebooks available. Check it out.
