The widowmaker series are scifi westerns. There's fun characters with nicks that would largely fit in in the old west, except for the scifi parts. Even if you don't care for westerns (I don't), they're great. |
As a voracious Resnick reader, this series wouldn't be my first recommendation.
I'd say that his top-tier "Birthright" stuff includes the Soothsayer/Oracle/Prophet trilogy, Ivory, the first Santiago book, and The Dark Lady.
In my opinion his "B" work includes Tales of the Galactic Midway and Tales of the Velvet comet series.
THEN, I'd put the Widowmaker series, the second Santiago book, and most of the rest at grade "C."
If I was only allowed to recommend a single Resnick book, I'd make it
Ivory.
