 Change of Pace, March 2, 2010
By Bernard Henriques (Syracuse, IN USA)
I am blown away as to how RB Conroy is able to write a book about a topic that is totally different from his last two books. This goes to show what a tremendous and capable writer he is. I am currently half way through the book and enjoying it. At times I wonder if the book is based on a true story for it sounds so real. Well done RB. |
 A must read!, December 13, 2009
By M. Rent
In My Father's Image is a compelling family drama that left me thinking long after I put the book down. The characters were so lifelike that at times I wanted to cheer and other times cry. Coming from the viewpoint of the son, Dan Kinsey, let the reader into the complexities of the father/son dynamic and how a child could still love a man that has hurt him him so deeply. This is an extremely well written book with vivid descriptions and very colorful characters. A must read! |
Well written book, December 6, 2009
By T. Cornell (Greentown, IN)
In My Father's Image is very well written book, and the characters are real. This book is excellent as a character study of individuals as people's lives weave in and out of each other's situations.. It also portrays the reality of life over a period of years. At the end are some surprises.. It has a good message, and one that provokes thought. Leelia |

Together they fight to regain control of El Cabrera, from mining magnate George Staton.There are lots of gun fights and excitement and ultimately good triumphing over evil. |
RB Conroy has done it again!, December 26, 2008
By M. Rent
Return of the Gun is a compelling read that is difficult to put down. After reading Devil Rising, I was really looking forward to the sequel. John Stoudenmire is the perfect blend of good and evil. Again, I was surprised and intrigued by the actions of this conflicted man. Filled with grit and guns, this book is more action-packed then the first. There is also just enough romance for the female reader. I highly recommend this book. |
RB Conroy another great book, March 2, 2010
By Bernard Henriques (Syracuse, IN USA)
Finally I got to my signed copy of the Return of The Gun. I just could not put the book down. Having traveled out west I could picture the scenes, the places and the people. I totally recommend reading and owning this book. RB Conroy did it again. |
RB Conroy does it again!!!, March 4, 2009
By Bill Harper (Phoenix , AZ)
RB Conroy has done it again with "Return of the Gun". This book is an exciting page turner about the old west using a compelling character named Jon Stoudenmire, "Return" is somewhat of a sequel to Conroy's first western "Devil Rising". Conroy masterfully develops his characters in a fast paced, exciting western pitting villians against miners and merchants. Staudnmire reluctantly enters the fray and then the action begins. |

I got the book from a local signing done by the author. When reading the book I could imagine being right there. Having visited a few old cowboy towns, this book describes the scenes as if you are there. I look forward to more books from this author. A very good read.

I couldn't put it down, January 11, 2008
By Deb Patterson (Milford, IN USA) reporter/photographer
One would say I’m an avid book reader of all types of genre. However, a book must catch my interest after reaching the first chapter. “Devil Rising” did more than that. I could visualize what the words were saying, as if I was watching it all take place. I liked the descriptiveness of the scenery, they didn’t just draw their guns. You knew what kind they were using. While I had insight to the book, I couldn’t put the book down, wanting to read what happened next. It held my interest so intently I finished it in two days. I can’t wait to read the sequels.

Fun reading, January 13, 2008
My husband read this book and suggested that I read it also. He thought that the author did a really good job in researching the old west. I think the development of the characters is good and the author's portrayal of them is vivid and draws in the reader. Of course, my husband liked the action and he liked seeing the bad guys get what they had coming. We are anxious to read the sequel. |
