"If you love Westerns, and can stand just a Little Sci-Fi or Steampunk, Then You'll Love This Series!" 5-Star Reader Review"I can promise the most unusual Wild West romp you've ever experienced," 5-Star Reader ReviewCombining the best of gritty westerns like Tombstone and The Wild Bunch with the sci-fi inventiveness of Firefly and Star Wars, Bernard Schaffer's Guns of Seneca 6 series is an Old West romp on a remote planet where gunslingers, outlaws and lawmen battle over the frontier. In this short-story prequel, fan-favorite Sheriff Sam Clayton returns, and readers will finally learn the details of what happened to Zeke, the accused child-molester, on the day Sam took him out to the desert.

The Guns of Seneca 6 series blends the best of the Old West and science fiction for all-out adventure. Sheriff Sam Clayton chewed and spat and wiped off his mouth. He chewed again and spat again. He started to chew once more, then stopped and said, "Prepare the prisoner for transport to Seneca 5 to see the judge." Tom Masters looked up at him, not moving until the Sheriff looked back at him. "Yes, sir," Tom said. The deputy walked into the office and pointed at Zeke, "Get your hands up against that wall." "I'm going to tell that judge what you been treating me like," Zeke said, turning around and sticking his hands against the bricks above the cot. Tom stuck the iron key into the door's lock and turned it. "You stay like that until I say otherwise, else I'll shoot you in the spine and leave you pissing in a bag for the rest of your life." Zeke giggled, "I bet you'd like that. We'll see how tough you are after I see that judge." Tom snatched Zeke's wrists and pulled them behind his back and slapped cuffs on them. He leaned close to Zeke's ear and said, "There ain't no judge at Seneca 5, stupid." Old-Time Lawmen is a short-story prequel to Guns of Seneca 6. For readers of Cowboys and Indians books who love old west outlaws and old west fiction. This scifi western is reminiscent of the old west stories about Doc Holliday, Jesse James and Wyatt Earp, while being a new kind of gunslinger kindle book completely. Views: 15
