About this listen
2019 Independent Audiobook Award Winner for Contemporary Fantasy
Coilhunter
Welcome to the Wild North, a desolate wasteland where criminals go to hide - if they can outlast the drought and the dangers of the desert. Or the dangers of something else.
Meet Nox, the Coilhunter. A mechanic and toymaker by trade, a bounty hunter by circumstance. He isn't in it for the money. He's in it for justice, and there's a lot of justice that needs to be paid.
Between each kill, he's looking for someone who has kept out of his cross hairs for quite a while - the person who murdered his wife and children. The trail has long gone cold, but there are changes happening, the kind of changes that uncover footprints and spent bullet casings.
Plagued by nightmares, he's made himself into a living one, the kind the criminals and con men fear.
So, welcome, fair folk, to the Wild North. If the land doesn't get you, the Coilhunter will.
Rustkiller
Welcome to the Rust Valley.
The Wild North is full of nasty places, but there are some places you just don’t go. One of them is that scrapyard desert known as the Rust Valley. It’s where vehicles go to die. That’s why you don’t go in after them.
The bounty hunter Nox made a promise to himself he’d never be caught dead there. Yet when a couple of kids end up wandering inside that metal maze, he finds himself with no other choice.
He decks himself out in his finest armor. He’ll need it. That land is where the rust-covered Clockwork Commune live, and if they don’t scavenge the metal off you, they’ll scavenge the flesh instead.
Nox is used to being called the Coilhunter, but this time, he’s saddling up with a new, more fitting title: the Rustkiller.
Dustrunner
Nox is a wanted man.
While searching for a criminal, the fabled Coilhunter wanders into a tribal village massacre. He didn’t do it, but that doesn’t matter. The clues point to him, and he’s made a lot of enemies over the years. Many would happily see the tables turned.
His pleas of innocence fall on deaf ears. No sooner does he try to find the real killers than posters go up across the Wild North - posters with his face and his name. He isn’t the only bounty hunter out there. Dozens assemble to cash him in.
Tasked with finding out who’s framed him, Nox must also survive the constant onslaught of frontier law. He’s used to hunting others. He’s not so used to life on the run.
©2017 Dean F. Wilson (P)2018 Blue Heron AudioI’ve never listened to steam-punk-western before, but I will be searching for more after this!!
Completely cliche in every way, but brilliantly so and is exactly what’s needed in a book like this! Pure action, brawling and gunfights seasoned throughout by the honourable hero of the tale.
I can’t imagine anyone pulling off the narration of this better than Mr Bray; he is the essence of a cowboy!
Listen to it, you won’t be disappointed! Plus you can’t beat a trilogy for value on your credit!
This is my honest opinion of a free review copy.

The Three stories grabbed me instantly and I was drawn into wanting to know more about the universe that Dean F. Wilson has created. This is far from a standard western with an added Steampunk feel and the main protagonist feeling like somewhere between the Lone Ranger and Batman, hell-bent on seeking justice with his many gadgets to help him along the way.
I'd go as far to say that I hope the author decides to expand on the Coilhunter series and adds more as there definitely feels like there is room for plenty more stories.
A pleasant surprise

Listening to these books as a set, it was interesting to see character recur from the previous ones, it helped to breathe more life into the world as a whole to see the cast grow around the Coilhunter himself, who starts out as a fairly familiar western archetype of the man seeking justice following tragedy.
The tone and voice of the narrator of these books was ideal for the character and setting, enhancing the story and world greatly.
Overall, this was an enjoyable and good value collection of books and I would be interested in further installments from this world in the future.
