Very Amazing book! Just as amazing if not better than the first in the series. Perfect characters, mystery, humor, and love. I highly recommend this book and Book1. I was not disappointed in the woman Lucy became. She was captivating as a child. I was concerned that I would be disappointed in the woman she would be in this book.
Rangers and Raiders. William Quantrell's raiders are cornered by Capt. Tom Andrews and Quantrell and a number of his men are killed. Two are captured whilst Montana Smith and the others escape to carry on their illegal operations. Clint Stewart and Willie Martin are the two captives, who much to their surprise, are spared a death sentence on acc of Capt. Andrews vouching for them as soldiers of integrity and honour. Sentenced to 20 years hard labour, the guys are faced with an interesting proposition when Andrews offers to break them out so as they can join the Arizona Rangers. The plan being for them to infiltrate the renegade Raiders and support to bring them down. With few votes and even less reviews of substance written, one could be forgiven for thinking that Arizona Raiders is barely worth the time. Using elements of the Quantrell Raiders legacy and blending with the Texas Rangers plot lines, Arizona Raiders is not found wanting in the entertainment department. Directed by William Witney and starring Audie Murphy, Buster Crabbe {this movie not to be confused with Crabbe's 1936 film, The Arizona Raiders} and Michael Dante, it's a movie that has a number of problems within its plot. It would have been simple to just have it as a straight forward tale about poor guys turning amazing {something other reviewers claim it to be}, but writers Frank Gruber and Richard Schayer add impetus to the amazing v poor axis by cramming in other factors. Murphy plays lead protagonist Clint Stewart, asked to basically switch sides and loyalties, his conflict-ion is excellently portrayed by genre legend Murphy. His resolve is further tested by emotional pulls involving his brother and best friend, with Witney and his squad seemingly satisfied to place Stewart thru the mangler, with the effect being a richly told hero strand. Also into the equation comes the role of the Indians, so often seen as the nemesis and poor boys of the genre, here they obtain something slightly various as they become involved in this white man squabble, it's really rather refreshing the part they have to play. Tho the score from Richard LaSalle is badly out of sorts, this is off set a touch by the visual treat on offer with the locale. Beautifully shot by Jacques R. Marquette, the Gold Canyon zone is a sumptuous additional character, giving an added depth to the story unfolding. The story is nicely paced by Witney, who rightly gives us development of characters in the first half of the piece, while all the genre staples of shoot outs, villains and chases are nicely added to the already intriguing broth. A small treasure as far as this viewer is concerned. So if you be a genre fan such as I? Well do catch this one given the chance. 7/10
Ransacking Rigmarole. Night Raiders is directed by Howard Bretherton and written by Maurice Tombragel. It stars Whip Wilson, Fuzzy Knight, Lois Hall and Tommy Farrell. Melody is by Raoul Kraushaar and cinematography by Ernest Miller. Build a fire under the sheriff to see how he jumps! Pretty unexciting "B" Oater that finds Wilson as a Location Marshal investigating why in the city of Bitter Springs night raiders are ransacking property - but taking nothing?! Plot is uninteresting which in turn marries up with the over all tired feel to it all. It feels more like a 1930s spooky mystery, something which is further felt via the musical accompaniments. Whip of course cracks his whip and punches heroically and Knight is naturally a lovable buffoon, while the finale involving shootings and fisticuffs among the rocky terrain is pleasingly safe. But it doesn't have enough about it to warrant recommending even as a time waster. 3/10
More recruits for the butcher brigade. Kansas Raiders is directed by Ray Enright and written by Robert Richards. It stars Audie Murphy, Brian Donlevy, Marguerite Chapman, Scott Brady and Tony Curtis. A Technicolor production, melody is by Milton Rosen and cinematography by Irving Glassberg. Plot has it that the James and Younger Brothers along with Kit Dalton, join Quantrill's Raiders after witnessing at first hand Redleg atrocities. However, after believing they would be fighting soldiers for the battle effort, the men search themselves participating in equally worse battle crimes. Something that deeply affects the young Jesse James. OK, it's very fanciful in its telling of a bitter and sad period of American history. Facts of the period and the characters are jettisoned in favour of making an exciting 1950 Oater. Any hope of a depth strewn historical take on William Quantrill's Raiders will lead to disappointment, something that is all too evident with a lot of of the venomous reviews of the movie out in internet world. Yet judged on its own unfussy entertaining terms, movie scores high for the casual Western fan as shoot-outs, knife wars and stand-offs hold the movie perky. The ominous black flag of Quantrill. As a story the movie provides enough of an edge to create its point, we are left in no doubt about the "atrocity exhibition" dealt out by Quantrill's Raiders. There's also a neat thread within about the corruption of youth. Yes, for sure it's a picture low on accuracy, but it doesn't soft soap the topic to hand. This is a 1950 production after all and the makers at least manage to leave us in no doubt about the nature of the crimes committed by certain factions in the Civil War. In fact a couple of scenes really leave indelible images, and from an action viewpoint the "sacking of Lawrence" is perfect in construction and impact garnered. Production wise it's also amazing value, Glassberg's Technicolor photography is gorgeous, not just for the Garner Valley and Kanab locations, but also for bringing out the quality of the set decoration (Russell A. Gausman/Ruby R. Levitt) and Bill Thomas' costuming. Cast are fine without pulling up any trees. Donlevy is the class act on show, but here as Quantrill he gets by on presence alone, the absence of outright hero nastiness is sadly felt. The latter of which, however, is provided by the solid Brady as Bill Anderson. Murphy as young Jesse James has youthful exuberance and bravado down pat, while Curtis as Kit Dalton is enjoyable in amongst the five group dynamic. Marguerite Chapman (Coroner Creek) as Kate Clarke (Quantrill's girl) has the tough task of playing the sole female in the film, and although well older than the hero in true life, she does a nice line in sexy and wise older woman for the scenes shared with Murphy's James. 7/10

I just finished reading Kimberly Cates' "The Raider's Daughter" and loved every min of it! Unable to place it down, I hid away in my personal study in an attempt to avoid interruptions from my husband and son. After all, I had fallen in love with the Earl of Valcour. All others would just have to take a number and obtain in line behind him!In "The Raider's Daughter," Ms. Cates has spun out a sexy tale, full of suspense. The character is to die for, and the heroine is as spunky as an adult as she was as a kid (see "The Raider's Bride"), a rare occurrence, as so a lot of authors "raise" powerful kid characters to be nit-wits. Not here! Lucy is a delightful challenge for a delightfully complicated man.Another huge hit by Kimberly Cates!I would like to take a moment to thank Ms. Cates for taking a private interest in her readers. I experienced a glitch in downloading this book to my kindle. Ms. Cates looked in to my predicament immediately and helped me resolve the problem, demonstrating a real commitment to her readers.

This second book of The Raider's Series is much better than the first. The plot is edgy and the writing is very good...keeps you on the edge. I actually could not stand Lucy for most of this story...she's self-centered, immature, @#$%!y. Of course, I wasn't too crazy about Valcour, either. So to not like either of the two main characters but still continue reading this book is a first for me...I didn't lose interest. The plot was so amazing I wanted to search out what happened next. Cates is very amazing at dialogue and suspense. Her characters are very true with all their foibles and scars. I would definitely recommend this book, and I now go onto the third book of the series.

The second book in the Raider series is just as amazing as the first, and follows up with Lucy, Pendragon and Emily's headstrong daughter all grown up and off to England to solve the mystery of her supposedly dead father. If you have read "The Raiders Bride" you will know the back story, but Cates does a amazing job of filling in the fresh reader with the reasons Lucy pulls all the capers she gets herself into. The plot is so intricate, the people so real, their stories so believable that you can't support but ache for them. Dominic and Lucy will each have to face the dark secrets of their past and do a lot of soul searching. There are a lot of touching moments the reader will want they could have for themselves. The plot is fantastic! A must read!
