More praise for The Buntline Special


Whee, that was a fun read! ….It was an absolutely original read that neither slowed down nor felt incomplete. Resnick obviously knew exactly what he wanted to tell for a story and did so…So how great is The Buntline Special -- A Weird West Tale? Let's just say that I look forward to adding it to my library and will definitely reread it again, as it's that good.” -Green Man Review

“Mike Resnick has written a highly entertaining Steampunk Western… I loved how characters that we know were placed in an alternate version of the American West and how the author incorporated paranormal elements into the story giving it additional depth and some humor…The author did a fantastic job with character development and did a good job of keeping a large number of characters involved, moving the plot at a brisk pace, and at the same time giving depth to the different threads in the storyline. The dialogue is witty and sharp and the sections dealing with 'Doc' and 'Johnny Ringo'…were simply inspired. The end of the story is well done and very interesting. I look forward to reading more of Mr. Resnick's work. For a tale of the Wild West like you've never seen before, give The Buntline Special a ride. 5.00 / 5 - Reviewer Top Pick.” -Night Owl Reviews
