Ralph Cotton writes what hopefully won't be the last book about Danille Strange and her twin brothers Jed and Ted. In doing so, Cotton has carried on the works started by Ralph Compton while not missing a hoofbeat. Compton must be smiling from his writing desk in the sky at the magnificiant job Ralph Cotton has done carring on his(Compton's) work. RIDERS OF JUDGEMENT is a must read for any western fan.

--- Riders Of Judgement is a no-holds-barred story. Ralph Compton must be smiling from above, as Ralph Cotton puts forth a great story, finishing this trilogy.

Danielle, her brothers, Tim & Jed Strange are back on the trail, hunting the only remaining outlaw left alive who took part in murdering their father, Daniel Strange.

It's non-stop action, as they head across the border in pursuit of the killer. Together, they learn the price of riding a vengeance trail. Amidst gun-smoke and flying bullets, the children of Daniel Strange press forward... And not to ruin a great story, you'll have to read it on your own... *g*

Once I started reading Riders of Judgment I couldn't put it down. I found myself reading into the wee hours of morning. Ralph Cotton puts the main characters in situations that are so suspenseful, you remain glued to the book. I didn't want to fall asleep without knowing what happened to Danny Duggin, Tim, Jed, and Marshal McCord.

I know Ralph Compton would be very proud of the work Ralph Cotton has done on his behalf. Thanks Ralph Cotton for carrying on the great work of Mr. Compton.

tHIS STORY IS A VERY GOOD READ. i FOUND IT TO BE INTERTAINING AND FUN. yES AS ONE READER MENTIONED THE AUTHOR DID ALWAYS SPELL OUT THE ENTIRE NAME EVERY TIME A CHACTER WAS MENTIONED AND YES IT SEEMED AS IF THE AUTHOR MR. SMITH WAS JUST TRYING TO FULLFILL HIS OBLIGATION FOR A CERTAIN NUMBER OF WORDS, BUT THE STORY IS GOOD. aFTER ALL DON'T WE READ FICTION FOR FUN, i DO.

If you like westerns that capture the spirit of the bold and daring men and women who tackled the Wild West, you will love Rider of Judgement. Ralph Compton is in the ranks with Louis L'amour, Zane Grey , and even some of the newer authors such as William Johnstone. Riders of Judgement will keep you on your toes until the very end. This last book of a trilogy is the perfect ending to a two year trail of vengenance filled with showdowns, romance, and the true spirit of the Wild West.

I loved this book ,It just wasn't enough lets have another .Your doing a great job Mr. Cotton.

I love the story right from the first book. There was simply no denying the appeal of the storyline. This third segment though wraps the whole thing up with an ending still left some loose ends where Danielle's life is concerned. What happened to the guy she was in love with before? Do they ever tell people about her real idenity? Little things like that needs to be brought up. I love the story and would certainly not mind if someone was to pick up the pen and write another novel.

Like 'The Shadow of a Noose', this will be on the bestseller list. Count on it. With 'Riders of Judgement', the saga of the Strange siblings seems to reach a logical conclusion. The big question is, do the fans want it to end? Like Ralph Cotton's `Big Iron' series, where you want Ranger Sam Burrack and Maria to live forever - or at least long enough for a dozen or so more books - this story just don't wanna quit. I see a future where Danielle settles down to a `normal' life with her newfound love, Marshall C. F. McCord, and where Jed and Tim set themselves up as master gunsmiths, in the tradition of their father. But when a back-shooting low life puts McCord on his back for several weeks, Danny and her brothers have to dust off their guns and reluctantly get back in the game. How about it? Can we have just one more?

Great Book, Just like the last three. Excitement and drama. Please don't stop. What happens to the Steel Brothers and Danielle? Mr. Compton could not help but to be smiling down on how you are carrying on his stories and his tradition. Congratulations on another great book.

I found I was not interested in this book. In fact I never finised it. The main problem I had was with the authors use of using each characters full name each time a name was used. No one was ever mentioned by a frist name or just a last name. It was always Danny Duggin` did this, Danny Duggin` did that. Marshal C. F. McCord didthis Marshal C.F.McCord did that. After a while I lost interest in the story line because I was looking to see if the author would change this format. After 80 pages it was time to find another book.
