Review: An entertaining and well-written story.
Rating: 3 out of 5

This story is written as a traditional American Western: A tough main character, romance, gambling and violence. I could easily picture a young John Wayne in the Kane role. However, I tend to enjoy more realistic and deep novels -- more like the James Mitchner book Texas -- for this type of story. The book was well written and action filled, but I found the women characters a bit unbelievable (comes with the western style?). One woman stayed fiercely faithful to a terrible abuser, and two other young women wanted to drop everything and follow Kane just after meeting him. Still, this book would be a great read for a plane trip or somewhere you don't need to think much, just to pleasantly pass time.
