4.6 out of 5 stars 77 ratings
Dakota Territory, 1883: A land of violence, lawlessness--and vicious monsters.

Jules Castle can outsmart, outgun, and outrun any bandit in the Old West. But are her legendary skills enough to save her father?

Three years ago, Jules' outlaw father vanished during a mysterious mission. Since then, she's kept up the family business, robbing banks and chasing clues to his whereabouts across the Territory. Unfortunately, his trail sets her right in the path of supernatural, hard-to-kill creatures known as Vipers, whose bite will transform anyone into one of their kind.

Jules is determined to save her father, no matter the peril or cost. With the help of a bounty hunter and her adopted sister Miranda, she will have to pull off an impossible rescue. Hounded by former members of her father's gang, hunted by a U.S. Army posse, and pursued by Vipers, Jules' chances are slim. Can she beat the odds one last time?

From Amazon bestselling author Rob Blackwell comes Riders on the Storm, a unique urban fantasy combining elements of a Western with the supernatural, suspense, and action. Find out why readers praise his novels for their unpredictable twists, jaw-dropping endings, and unforgettable characters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book to define a genre!
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2019
    There is little that Rob Blackwell writes that is not pure excellence and very unique. However when I heard sci-fi western I will admit to a brief raised eyebrow. I am not typically a reader of westerns. If you feel the same let me tell you - this book will convert you. It is a true page turner, I could not put it down until I was finished, and then immediately wanted more.

    Set in the year 1883 in the Dakota Territory it is decidedly unsci-fi in many ways. Horses and six shooters are the standard fare. No space blasters, shiny silver space suits and hover cars here. Throw in bandits, stick-em-up bank heists and stagecoach robberies, and it is looking almost decidedly normal. Then comes the twist. The rolling storm clouds, that are squirming, alive with monsters. These are the Vipers and they are impossibly fast, can’t be killed with regular bullets and if they so much as scratch you, well say your goodbyes fast.

    Early on in the story we meet Jules Castle - she is a thief, con artist, the daughter of an outlaw and raised amongst outlaws. She is the best of the best. Whip smart, ruthless and unbeatable with her gun, and with her sister by her side, nothing can stop her, except perhaps the Vipers. She is searching for clues to track down her father, who vanished mysteriously a few years before. However pursued by the U.S army, some of her father's former posse and not to mention the Vipers how successful can she be?

    This book evoked memories of Firefly, but dare I say it, even better?! More Jules Castle please!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A unique hybrid of Urban Fantasy and Western that cant be missed
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2019
    This was an incredible story. The blend of Western and Urban Fantasy is a strange idea but it works really well!

    Imagine the creatures of Richard Laymons Beast House in a story with characters similar to Annie Oakley and Billy The Kid and you start to get an idea where this is going. Packed with gunfights, robberies, betrayal and lots of blood and guts from some truly nasty creatures, this is a fast paced book that you won't want to put down. Jules Castle is the perfect strong lead character and jeeps everyone in line, even whilst battling her own self doubts. There are some great original ideas and some nice plot twists that keep you page turning until the very end. I was gutted when I had finished this book and I can't wait for book 2.

    One for fans of Urban Fantasy / Western / Horror and also for those not afraid to try something new - you won't be disappointed!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An urban fantasy with cowboys and monsters??? Yes!!!!

    When i saw that it was set in the wild west I remembered my grandmother always reading westerns and thought i wouldn't like it at all.  Let me tell you... this ain't my grandma's old west and i loved it!!

       Blackwell's books always have very original story ideas and characters.  The Soren Chase series, (The Forest of Forever, etc) is one of my all time favorites and I can already see this series is going to be awesome as well!

      Here you get a kickass female outlaw who will steal you blind one minute and save you from a storm full of monsters the next.  The story starts off with a bang, (pun intended), and the action doesn't stop.  The ending is satisfying, although I did shed a few tears, and it sets up an exciting storyline for future books.   I was so disappointed when it ended.

      Can you really mix up an urban fantasy with a western then throw in some monsters and have this crazy mixture work?  You bet you can and it's gonna be a hell of a ride!  Yipee ki yay......!!!

    Enjoyed this story, a new slant on sci fi western. It kept me engaged and turning pages. The female villain/hero grabs you and drags you with her. I am looking forward to more of this adventure.

    A new take on western and paranormal and it Works! (Unlike cowboys and aliens “shudder”)
    A wonderful antiheroe who is a strong woman with non of the suddenly discovered superpowers to save the world.
    And now on to what it is. It is a wonderful suspense filled book that kept me reading straight through to the end in one go and no breaks. I truly loved this book and I think you will too. Give it a try. You will be glad you did.
    And now I wait impatiently for the next book in series. 😁

    I took my time getting into this book, but once I got truly invested in seeing what the characters were going to do I didn't put it down until I finished it at 4 dark 30 this morning. The characters are mostly likeable and interesting and the bad guys get their just deserts in the end. Don't skip passages and stick with it to the end. If you like spooky reading with a Western twist you should really enjoy this one. Im going to be finding other books by this author and see what all he's got.

    From the moment I heard Rob Blackwell was working on a new project I was excited and knew that I would read his new work the second it was released. I have been a fan of his work since reading The Forest of Forever (which I highly recommend if you haven't read it btw.) I was drawn into Riders on the Storm from the first few pages and didn't want to put it down. What I like most about Blackwell's books is his character dialogue. It seems very realistic to the situation, and his characters are always true to themselves. There's always plenty of action, and just the right amount of description to set the scene. (I personally find too much description a bit tedious.)
    If you like action and good character development, give Riders on the Storm a shot, I think you will enjoy it!
