We say farewell to Stuart Brannon and Stephen Bly!
22 Mar 2012
By Trinity Rose
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Stuart Brannon's Final Shot by Stephen Bly with Janet, Russell, Michael and Aaron Bly is such a fantastic book. I love it, but I must say it was hard for me to read because it is the last work of Stephen Bly. I've been a fan of Stephen and Janet's for many years. I joined their Yahoo group before there was a group on facebook, etc... So it saddened me to read this book, but also made me happy to have Stephen's last work. In Stuart Brannon's Final Shot only 7,000 words were written by Stephen Bly, just before his death, Janet, his dear wife and three sons got together and completed the final book Thanks for doing that Janet and sons. It was put together so well that the scenes and words flow very smoothly.
The characters were some of the ones from other books of Stephen's that we loved or hated for years. These characters are strong and very descriptive. The scenes and action were very well written and had me on the edge of my seat.
I love how Stuart still does the right thing even in the most horrible circumstances. How he believes what the Lord says and goes by the Code of the West.
I highly recommend this fantastic book. It will end up on your book shelf for sure. A western full of action, adventure, close calls, humor and even romance. A 5-star book and one to be loved.

If you buy one fiction book in your life let it be this one
1 May 2012
By Cheryl Wyatt
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
If you buy two books in your lifetime, let it be the Bible and this one. This family effort was a long-awaited treasure since I have loved all of Stephen Bly's books. I love Western themed stories and the rich historical delicacies of Stephen Bly's writings. I literally feel like I'm in the setting, riding the trails, with his characters.
I learned with a heavy heart that the author passed away in the middle of writing this book after starting it in the hospital. His wife and three sons circled the wagons in the midst of their grief and completed this book...in many ways the title is reminscent of the fact that Stuart Brannon's last shot was Stephen's last book as an earthly storyteller.
However, I have no doubt because of this author's rich faith elements intricately woven into words effervescent with humor, meaning, depth and emotion, that Stephen is galloping around on a horse in Heaven and entertaining angels with his amazing tales.
I HIGHLY recommend this book. But warning: Stephen's and Janet's books are like potatoe chips....no one can devour just one. Look for the others wherever books are sold.

Old time westerns ride again!
20 Mar 2012

Format:Hardcover
One of my favorite things I miss the most are the old time western radio programs. I know you can sometimes find them on Sirius radio now and on the Internet, but that's exactly what I was thinking as I was reading, Stuart Brannon's Final Shot by Stephen Bly.
Although only 7,000 words remained in the original manuscript by Stephen Bly just before his death, his family members got together and completed the final book in the Stuart Brannon's series. This book is definitely action packed adventure from the beginning pages as Stuart Brannon is involved in the prevention of a train robbery. After he convinces the criminal to turn himself in to the local authorities, he finds himself the center of attention by some of the passengers on a train, namely a young boy who idolizes the person he believes him to be. While correcting the young man on all the rumors he believes as truth, he faces a challenge of another kind.
Brannon receives word from a close friend Lady Harriet Fletcher who asks him to participate in a gold tournament event in conjunction with the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition. However Brannon just wants to return home to retire on his ranch in Arizona. When he receives another invitation from the President of the United States asking for his involvement in the disappearance of Tom Wiseman, a U.S. Marshall, he can't ignore this one. Tom is too close of a friend and has aided him in many personal and legal problems in the past, and also the many times Tom had stood with Brannon against the lawbreakers when no one else would.
I received Stuart Brannon's Final Shot compliments of Christian Fiction Blog Alliance for my honest review and really liked the story-telling behind this novel. Like I described it above, to me, it read like the old time western radio programs with fast-paced action on every page, from chandelier swinging ladies to out of control horses in a small town. This one is geared to those that love that Old-Time Western Fiction much like Louis L'Amour! I rate this one a 4.5 out of 5 stars and commend his family members for all the time involved to put this final novel together!
