    "From the Cumberland Mountains of 1858 Kentucky comes a young man forced by circumstances to start killing men at an early age. Adam Payton thereafter cannot escape the fateful continual life of a skilled gunman as he moves along the road to adulthood.
    "Later drawn into the Civil War, Payton and a small unit of determined Confederate cavalry are constantly faced with challenges from Yankees, Indians, and each other. Ultimately the tightly bonded knot of survivors overcome the odds against them, but after the war still find themselves facing an uncertain future.
    "Across the country and into the booming growth of the west, Payton looks for the personal peace and satisfaction that eventually comes within his grasp. The faith of friends and the love of a woman will encourage his attempts to avoid the violence that always seems to find him, but -- is such a dream meant to be?
    "Rich with intriguing characters and bitter violence, this stirring odyssey-like saga of an intense young man's search for a west he can't find is thoroughly captivating from its dramatic beginning to its gut-wrenching finish."
(Synopsis from book cover).

BOOK REVIEWS


WHAT THE READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT
A CERTAIN JUSTICE  (Released November, 2004)

"A great book! ... The writing, both style and prose, is excellent ... The descriptions and word usage paint everything that is going on in a very literate, intelligent, manner ... I think this book is even better than When Good Men Ride!" -- (reader; Peoria, Arizona).

"It was a book that was very difficult to put down. It drew me totally into the story. Chuck Lewis does have a way with words." -- (Deborah; Gilbert, Arizona).

"I was drawn into the book from the very beginning and wanted to just keep learning more and more about this sensitive young man who is the main character ... Excellent writing ... I did not want this book to end!" -- ( reader; Wickenburg, Arizona).

"I have all of Chuck Lewis's books ... I like the definition he gives to all his characters, and his descriptions of people and scenery and action scenes are always so perfect ... Each of his books is really different ... He didn't disappoint me with this one. I enjoyed it very much." -- (reader; from "upstate New York.").

"I couldn't stop reading this book and finished it in two days in spite of my busy schedule. I absolutely loved it! I did not want it to end, and I think that's a great recommendation for any book ... I had just given up on a Dean Koontz book that I didn't like, and found this book to be much more satisfying ... It was also a learning experience and I watch shows dealing with this subject with more insight now ... Delightful characters in a good story to make me care about them ... I truly hope there will be a sequel." -- (Mrs. Allen D.; Salt Point, New York).

"I was impressed from the first page ... it let me glimpse into a past that most of us cannot even comprehend ... the portrayal of a Confederate cavalryman sheds light on the war from the historically accurate viewpoint of the southern soldier ... Mr. Lewis peoples his tale with men and women who lived life with little more than their personal code of honor and needed nothing else. A great book!"  -- (Brian H.; Phoenix, Arizona).

"Another good Chuck Lewis book ... This is a very readable story with interesting characters and a different view of the Civil War ... It was just plain good!" -- ("Harry;" New Mexico).

"Wonderful! I like history books and all of this author's books are very believable ... The historical notes at the end are a bonus ... Even the locations and identifiable local family names of some of the characters amazed me ... I would recommend this book to anyone as a terrific read ... By now in our home library we have a Chuck Lewis section and have all of his books and will continue to look forward to all that he writes." -- (Rich; Glendale, Arizona).

"I liked the hell out of A Certain Justice. It’s the story of the evolution of a young man eventually cast adrift in the old west. Through the book we find him experiencing his first killing, his first love, and his exposure to the rougher elements of the Civil War. Overall, we find that he is defining that ‘certain justice’ to himself. Chuck never slows down the pace and this book ends all too soon, and what an ending it is! Anyone who wouldn’t like this book just doesn’t have red blood flowing through their veins!" -- (Dan B.; Edna, Kansas).

"The only word I have for this book is 'stunning.' I wish I could find more books like this. More Chuck Lewis books, I guess." ("Pistol Packin' Parson;" Texas).

"I just finished reading Chuck's book, A Certain Justice. I have now read all of Chuck's books and have thoroughly enjoyed them all. A Certain Justice was probably his longest book (As far as page numbers) and hands down my favorite! It could be set up for a sequel, and yes, I wrote to Chuck hinting at just that! Chuck, thanks again for yet another enjoyable read!" – ("Duke"; Santee, California)
