To me, they need look no further than Randisi.”

every genre though his main concentration has been crime and western.
Amazing as the number is what's much more startling is how consistently
good and sometimes GREAT his work is. The Gunsmith series, one of the
oldest and most revered of western series, would tucker most writers out
after book thirty or so. Not Bob. The series, written as by J.R. Roberts,
has just notched number three hundred and sixty-eight.
And the hooks are just as strong as the writing. In the new Bullets And Lies,
Talbot Roper helps prove that a man he knows, a man who
stands accused of lying about his record in the Civil War, is telling the truth.
Never thought of that before. I guess all wars produce men who lie about
their courage and honor.
Fast-paced and action-packed, rich in humanity and lore, this is a fine
sample of Bob's work. If you like realistic adventure, you'll want this book.

There's only two ways to describe Mr. Randisi's literary output: dedication and discipline. I have read a few of the Gunsmith series and enjoyed both his stories and writing style though I haven't read his crime-fiction yet. Assuming he started writing in the early 1970s, Mr. Randisi would have written an average of 10-12 novels a year. So 500 novels over some 40 years is mindblowing. I hope I got my math right.
