Bowers, John
Entry updated 16 January 2023. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author, most of whose Westerns have been Space Operas, all assembled in series; the first of these is The Fighter Queen Saga beginning with A Vow to Sophia (2009). The most sustained is the Nick Walker, United Federation Marshall sequence beginning with Sirian Summer (2011), a Planetary Romance set on the colony world Sirius 1; the protagonist, a replacement marshall arriving from off-planet, finds his assigned home-base Kline Corners to contain deadly enemies. The style is brisk, the action continuous, and ambiguities are shunned. Nick Walker is very tough on shady hombres.
Bowers should not be confused with the American novelist John Bowers (1928- ). [JC]
