This is the first of six original novels by Joseph A. West "based on the CBS television series" which many Baby Boomers grew up on. West himself was an author new to me when I picked up the book, but "Gunsmoke"--known to its large online fandom as "GS"--was an old friend, and I hoped I would at least find here an author who'd done his homework regarding the series he was supposed to be adapting. The trouble is, he hasn't, quite. There are any number of little bits of incorrect background that will ... Read More

I loved this book and read it in one night. Thats not surprising to anyone that knows me because I love Gunsmoke very much. I didnt like the fact that Mr. West refers to Matt Dillon as City Marshal I think it takes away from his character strength. And the fact Doc wasnt involved very much. I'm okay with the relationship Mr. West began with between Matt and Kitty because he had to start somewhere and explained it well in the first few chapters of the book. And all Gunsmoke fans completely understand ... Read More

Although Mr. West is a competent enough writer of the western genre, his characterizations of Dodge's citizens leave something to be desired. In particular, the character of Miss Kitty was almost unrecognizable. I doubt that Mr. West ever watched the later years of "Gunsmoke" or else he would have written Kitty as a more mature, fully developed character. The Kitty in this novel is too soft and girlish--as if a 21 year old Kitty exists in the last years of the show. Where's the tough-as-nails Kitty ... Read More

This is simply a terrific western that works both as nostalgia for fans of Gunsmoke and stands on its own as a great read in the genre. Joseph A. West has given us not only a trip down memory lane, but a fine and atmospheric novel of the west. It is a fast read with humor, excitement, and characters most of us are already familiar with and quite fond of. It is no wonder that Matt Dillion himself, James Arness, writes the forward to this fun book.

I'm a big GUNSMOKE fan, I've watched 100s of episodes and all the TV movies. So I eagerly awaited this book -- and I wasn't disappointed. While there were a few unfortunate errors (as others here have pointed out) casual viewers of the show won't notice them or care. They didn't even bother James Arness, who wrote the introduction. West succeeded in his most important task, capturing the essense of the characters and the tone of the show. The Matt Dillon in this book is the Matt Dillon of the series...and ... Read More
