Roamer: One man's quest to lose himself in the West.

First in the gritty, all-action Western series by Spur Award-nominated author Matthew P. Mayo, featuring Roamer, the loner with a face everyone fears.
Roamer is having a bad day--he is savaged by a grizzly, robbed by bandits, and attacked by wolves. So by the time he makes it to the little Rocky Mountain town of Tall Pine all he wants is a cup of coffee, a hot meal, and a soft bed. The sheriff jails him for murder instead. A seething mob marks Roamer's homely face as guilty and seeks twisted justice with his blood. Can he stop the townsfolk from destroying themselves or will they kill him first? It's a brutal race against time for Roamer as the mob rips apart its little town, leaving innocent people dead and the wrong people in charge. Welcome to Wrong Town.

Peter Brandvold, Western Writer

Terrific Western!

Matt Mayo is a relative newcomer to the western genre, and he's kicking butt and taking names.

I loved ROAMER: WRONG TOWN, and can't wait for the next one in the series. This is fiction writing at it's best, and some of the best writing you'll find in the western field. If you're a fan of well-written westerns, you won't regret adding this one to your collection, and you'll have a damn good time doing it.

An original piece of work

Matt Mayo's novel is an original piece of work. While it has many of the features of a traditional western, it is written from the point of view of a character who has a distinct voice and world view. The novel also has carefully managed word use and sentence style. This is a work that will hold the reader's interest all the way through.

Great central character, and outstanding series opener!

20 dicembre 2014 - Pubblicato su Amazon.com

A couple of years back, I read an exceptionally good short story by Matthew P. Mayo called “O Unholy Night.” It was a ghostly Christmas tale featuring Maple Jack and his buddy Roamer. I still think it ranks as one of the best things Mayo has written. I didn’t realize until much later that the character Roamer had previously appeared in Mayo’s second novel for the well-known UK publisher Robert Hale.

I was pleased to find I already had a copy of this book (the newer version, not the Robert Hale edition.) Like dozens of others, it had sat untouched on my digital bookshelf for way too long. Silly, really, when the book can be read in a matter of a few hours. It’s one of those edge of your seat ones that never seem to offer a good place to stop reading. The story revolves around the lead character, Roamer, accused of a murder he didn’t commit, but instead of fleeing and living as a wanted man he’s determined to prove his innocence. In contrast to his other novels, this tale is told in the first person. It also has one of the best narrative hooks you’re likely to read—Roamer wakes from sleep one morning to find a grizzly bear about to attack him. It’s an exciting scene, well researched, well written, and sets the tone for the rest of the novel.

This was a very entertaining novel. Of all Mayo’s characters, Roamer (who has the sort of face that turns stomachs) is his best hero and I look forward to reading his next adventure. (C’mon Mayo, write another Roamer tale!)

A strong character-driven tale

19 gennaio 2009 - Pubblicato su Amazon.com

Roamer's narrative starts with him facing certain death at the stinking jaws of a grizzly and hardly lets up from then on. He not only has had a bad day, it looks like the rest of his life is going from bad to worse. He survives the jaws of death only to be robbed of his few belongings by heartless bandits. The weather isn't too considerate, either. In pouring rain he trudges into the Rocky Mountain town of Tall Pine, where he hopes to grab a bite to eat, a decent mug of coffee and uninterrupted shut-eye. Simple pleasures - but even these are to be denied him as the sheriff arrests Roamer for murder. And this particular lawman has taken a strong dislike to Roamer, refusing him any kind of sustenance while in jail. The town idolises their sheriff and are a mite reluctant to wait for a judge. Without a doubt, Roamer has come to the wrong town.

First person narrative is not common in westerns, yet when handled well, it lends an added weight of authenticity and intimacy. Matthew Mayo succeeds on all levels. Within a very short space of time, the reader becomes a close friend of luckless Roamer; the man's attractions are a combination of his self-deprecating humour, his determination to survive whatever life throws at him, plus an innate decency.

Because the narrator is telling the story, the reader knows that the hero survives; which is no surprise, since in most stories the hero wins through anyway. Since threats to the narrator are not going to be fatal, the author has to involve the reader in more than the welfare of the hero. This means that other characters - often close to the hero - come under threat; if these people suffer, then so do the readers because they feel the narrator's pain of loss or hurt. Roamer is a strong creation, and we feel his hunger, his despair and his anger at the injustices he witnesses in the wrong town. The town is also wrong in the sense that many of its citizens are not as civilised as they would like to think; an undercurrent of violence permeates the souls of many, so that the innocents suffer as well as the guilty.

It would be unfair to divulge more of the plot, but all the characters - whether the robbers, the major villain or the townspeople themselves - are drawn without resort to stereotype.

A strong character-driven tale, well told.
