Review of Wolf Spencer on Julies Book Review
Wolf Spencer
by
Joe Prentis
The opening of this book reads like a Clint Eastwood / Sergio Leone spaghetti western. Credit goes to Joe Prentis for a cinematic vision and being able to write in a style that captures the details of the Old West. If you like reading Westerns this first book of Prentis’ Renegade series will keep your interest. It has the makings of establishing a new genre. Call it the Western as Mystery. Wolf Spencer is a man with a past. Who he is and why are part of the mystery. Why did he leave the town that opens memorably with, ”If Wolf Spencer saw the gallows as he rode into town, there was no indication...under the shade of his flat brimmed hat”? Why did he come back? Does he loveShannon ?
Does Shannon love him? What happened between them?
Who are the bad guys? Who are the good guys? It’s the kids’ game of
Cowboys and Indians all over again with a twist not all the Indians are bad guys. Many questions arise and many answers are given. But many answers are not given.
You have to read the whole Renegade series to get all the answers.
4 Stars
