L.J.Martin does westerns right. This was another great novel describing the construction of the railroads in their early days in California. The Auburn area was depicted accurately and everything makes sense and is believable. Wonderfully described characters are acted out with enough action and suspense to keep your attention. Join ex-sailor Noland O'Bannon, now a construction crew section leader for a railroad, as he tries to keep his men working to complete the track through northern California mountains. Everything seems to be against him completing his goals - employee fights, fires, deception and killings. Dispite having some typographical errors (Kindle edition), it was a very good story and a delight to read.
