4.0 2 ratings

They called him Chopper, because of the way he destroyed his victims. Peace Officers claimed he was the most ruthless hired killer since Beguinage ...
Then he made a mistake. He gunned down two of the elite Company Z, and suddenly not only the boys of Z were after him, but also Rapido Clint. The hunt spread to England, the trail of Mr. J. G. Reeder, and Clint and Reeder found they had an identical problem – to discover the identity of Chopper ... then destroy him!

J.T. Edson was a former British Army dog-handler who wrote more than 130 Western novels, accounting for some 27 million sales in paperback. Edson’s works - produced on a word processor in an Edwardian semi at Melton Mowbray - contain clear, crisp action in the traditions of B-movies and Western television series. What they lack in psychological depth is made up for by at least twelve good fights per volume. Each portrays a vivid, idealized “West That Never Was”, at a pace that rarely slackens.

OK sequel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2014

This is a sequel to J.T.Edson's previous novel: Cap Fog, Texas Ranger, meet Mr J.G.Reeder. Fog is on the trail of a contract killer known as Chopper who was responsible for the murder of two Texas Rangers and follows him to London where he meets up once again with Edgar Wallace's famous detective J.G.Reeder. Despite the cover painting most of the action takes place in London.
While Alvin Fog has developed as a character since the previous novel, the book is less like Wallace's J.G.Reeder stories than the previous oine. Having J.G. Reeder as four different people, the original and his three nephews, while an original idea at the end of the previous book, and fitting in with the author's obsession with continuity, both with his own and Wallace's canon, really doesn't work here. Finally for someone who describes firearms in considerable detail the author makes some fairly major mistakes. For example, the Webley-Fosberry automatic revolver was horrible to fire and would be impossible to use as a quick-draw weapon as described.
