The Marshal rides after some of the toughest killers ever to ride the border country of Arizona in this fast-paced, action-filled adventure novel. "A hell-bent-for-leather ride in the tradition of Louis L'Amour ... leaves you wanting more Max Blake as he rides into the sunset of this Western gem." --Steve Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of "Lucky Lady." "A hell of a ride from a hell of a story-teller." - Peter Vanderwall, award-winning screenwriter for "Uneasy Listening," "Rogue River," "Transference," and "Memory Chips" "If you like your Westerns like you like your steaks, well-done and and sizzling with action, then Bill Florence's Max Blake is just the right cut for you." -- Gary Husman, Publisher, Redmond (Oregon) Spokesman.
