Die Avonture van die Lone Jack Kêrel
by Joe Corso Marlette TaljaardAgterblad Beskrywing (Back Page Blurp) “Deur die skrywer van The Starlight Club wat Silwer gewen het in die 2012 eLit boek wedstryd” Dit was oorlogstyd en manne het geleef en gesterf in gevegte teen hul vyand ... en somtyds het hulle gesterf in geveg teen mekaar. Cole het na die manne gekyk, sy hand opgelig en in ‘n stem hard genoeg vir almal om te hoor gesê, “Moenie dit doen nie, ouens. Sturman was ‘n geel brak, en ‘n droster, en julle hoef nie te sterf om sy soort te probeer wreek nie.” Daar was sewe Indiane en hulle het rondom twee semi-naak wit vroue, wat gelyk het soos ma en dogter, gestaan. Charlie het sy asem diep ingetrek en stadig uitgeblaas. Toe het hy gemik - - en gevuur, en gevuur, en weer gevuur, herhalend. Hy het vier van die Indiane platgetrek voor hulle geweet het wat hulle getref het. Toe het hy die oopte ingestorm en nog ‘n Indiaan geskiet wat vir sy geweer gereik het. “My naam is Charles Longstreet.” Die mans het na mekaar gekyk toe hulle hom erken. “Jy is die Lone Jack Kêrel?” Die Kêrel het geglimlag. “Die een en enigste.” Hy het sy hoed afgehaal en dit in die lug geswaai, toe gee hy die Rebelle skreeu. “Sien julle geld rowers in hel, manne.” Hy het die teuels gepluk en Comet met sy hakke in die lieste gedruk. Sy het haar kop gedraai en in die borrelende stroom ingespring met water so hoog soos die stiebeuels en het oorgenael, met die water al spattend in die lug om haar. Dit was nogal ‘n indrukwekkende vertoning van ruiterkuns, en die tol kollekteerders het met wrokkige admirasie toegekyk. Deel in die pret. Ry saam met Jesse en Frank James en die Younger broers terwyl hulle deel in die avonture van Die Lone Jack Kêrel. Lone Jack Kid het twee pryse gewen naamlik: Finalis van die 2012 Leser’s Gunsteling boek wedstryd & Finalis van die 2014 Laramie Toekennings boek wedstryd

by Joe CorsoToekenning: Truewest Magazine – Beste van die Weste 2016 – Westerse Boeke – Self Gepubliseerde Kategorie. Charles Longstreet se Broadway toneel het geëindig na ‘n jaar en hy wou die aktrise iets gee om hom te onthou.

As gevolg van haar onvolwassenheid het dalk nou die man van haar drome verloor. Nou is dit te laat om enigiets daaromtrent te doen behalwe om te waai terwyl hy stadig verby ry en om te dink aan dit wat kon gewees het. Ned het die rook weggeblaas van sy geweerloop en na die kroegman gedraai. “Hy is die Lone Jack Kêrel, en as hierdie vente hom net uitgelos het, het hulle nog geleef.” Hoekom ry ‘n gewonde Indiaan saam met Charles Longstreet en hoekom dra Charlie ‘n Maarskalk Kenteken? En hoekom laat President Grant hom na die Withuis kom? Hierdie is die tartende vrae wat beantwoord word sover as wat die leser die Lone Jack Kêrel in sy nuutste avontuur volg op die wandelpad wes na Kalifornië.
