No one knows much about the Baron. But one whisper in that cultured accent is enough to set even the most hardened of men shaking in their boots. He's clearly cut from a different cloth than other hired killers in the Wild West. But he's just as deadly. And that's all Decker cares about. Because in the eyes of the law, all men are equal, and Decker will make sure the Baron faces American justice.

VERY GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES--POSSIBLY THE BEST,
By
This review is from: Bounty on a Baron (Mass Market Paperback)
BOUNTY ON A BARON is one book in a series of westerns that Robert J. Randisi wrote approximately 20 years ago. So far Leisure Book Westerns has reprinted three others of this series as well: DOUBLE THE BOUNTY (1987) republished August, 2008; THE LAWMAN (1987) republished December, 2008; and BEAUTY AND THE BOUNTY (1988) republished June, 2009; with possibly more of the series to appear in coming months. The books all have as main character a man named Decker who makes his living as a bounty hunter. As we follow Decker's life and adventures from book-to-book we find him to be very much a realist, one who does what he does very well, strictly for the bounty to make a living. Yet he always hopes to find his bounty innocent of the charges listed on the wanted poster, so in some ways he is also a romantic as most of the bounty posters turn out only too accurate. In line with this thinking, though it seldom if ever happens, we find that Decker would prefer to bring his quarry in alive rather than dead. In this particular book, if not taken note of in previous books, we learn that Decker "wished he was a more competent shot with a six gun.". And one of the trademarks of his identity is "a cut-down shotgun (double barreled) in a special holster.". Also he carries a hangman's noose attached to his saddle to keep his mind focused, yet that is another story that unfolds as one reads these books by Mr. Randisi. Decker has a few intimates but mostly he travels alone living a solitary life, always on the move, going wherever the trail of his next bounty takes him. He is an intellignet and interesting man living out a very dangerous existence albeit an interesting one. The Decker books are smoothly written, offering satisfying storylines with both occassional humor and wit, and can be quickly read by most readers. Being an admirer of the western story for years, I feel confident most other enjoyers of the western novel will also find them interesting as well. Great stories written by a great contemporary writer. Semper Fi.

HAS DECKER MET HIS MATCH??????,
By Mac Blair "Mac Blair" (Huntingdon, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bounty on a Baron (Mass Market Paperback)
This is another book about Decker the bounty hunter. I think this is the fourth one. They have all been good.
The Baron comes from Russia, is good with a rifle, knife or pistol, does not matter to him. He is a hired killer, he makes one mistake and a wanted poster is issued. Decker is on his trail. The Baron now goes by the name of Brand and lives in a town where no one know who he is. He is tipped off that Decker is looking for him by a Sheriff looking to make money for himself. The Baron and Decker finally meet and the book has a very good ending. This is a fast read, full of action and will hold you attention. If you enjoy a good western I think you will like this one. I have read a lot of Robert J Randisi Books and have not been disapointed in any of them.

This review is from: Bounty on a Baron (Mass Market Paperback)
Justice is blind, or at least it's supposed to be. Randisi writes a thrilling tale of justice and bounty hunting. The Baron, a cultured killer with a big reputation, comes up against Decker, who wants to see justice done, either at the end of a noose, or barrel of a gun. Good writing with enough action to keep the pages turning and your inner camera running. Clint Eastwood would make a great Decker! Tim Lasiuta
