A gunslinger on the run. A distant mining outpost. And the ruthless boss who rules it.
I came into Jackson Depot on one engine, scraping the Bucket along the sand before managing to get her to stop. Not great, but not quite a crash.
I chalked it up as a successful landing.
Jake – The Warded Gunslinger – doesn’t want much in life. A place to hide, a good meal, and a quiet time with his pet void dragon hatchling. The small mining colony of Jackson Depot seems to promise just that.
But when Jake’s short-lived peace is shattered by a gangster boss and his army, and the hatchling is stolen, it’s time for Jake to pick up his guns!
The Warded Gunslinger is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warpstone ships roam the galaxy, and courage sets heroes apart from villains. It’s got cowboys and gangsters, found family, true companions, and magitech in a sprawling space opera.
The Warded Gunslinger is the first standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.
