Spider Rain — John Locke

It's business as usual for Emmett Love as he attempts to overcome terminal illness; murderous, cave-dwelling cannibals; looters; schemers; fraudsters; bounty hunters; mercenaries; and the crazy cast of characters who are somehow beating him in his reelection for sheriff.

PRELIMINARY COMMENTS:

“The excruciatingly long wait for Spider Rain is finally over, and it doesn't disappoint! Poor Emmett appears to be the only sane person in Dodge, and that makes for lots of laughs. Of course, precocious little Scarlett -- my favorite character -- outdoes herself, yet again.”

“Of all the books John Locke writes, the westerns are my favorites. Spider Rain -- announced a year ago -- is here at last. I was mildly annoyed the author wrote and published two other books while writing this one, but he says the westerns are a labor of love, and maybe what makes them so special is the extra time he puts into writing them. Spider Rain will give you at least one smile per page. It's Locke at his best.”

“John has confided this might be his last western. I sincerely hope that's not the case, because reading these books is like spending quality time with your favorite friends and family. Spider Rain is funny and sad and hopeful and crazy and good-hearted and I loved every minute of it.”
