This review is from: Billy the Kid and the Lincoln County War: A Luke and Jenny Adventure (Paperback)

Gayle Martin has done it again. For the second time she has written a perfect mix of fact and fantasy in "Billy The Kid And The Lincoln County War: A Luke And Jenny Adventure". As with Gayle's first book; "Gunfight At The OK Corral", I believe she has written what will soon become another classic in childrens/young adult's literature.
Gayle's writing style is crisp and the story will hold everyones attention with its fast-paced chases and wild west gunfights. It also contains little known facts about all of the historical characters.

Congratulations to Gayle Martin on another fine work of literature. I eagerly await her next adventure.
