I love a good western, but this wasn't one.  Too much of the story is left unexplained - why the bad guys threw in with the cattle owner and how they dispatched him, why and how the hero hooked up with them briefly, how he got to be so good with a gun.  The hero himself is off-stage for most of the book and never becomes a flesh-and-blood character.  It's more like he was walking through someone else's life than that he had a passion to go after the villains.  The character you get to know best is the deputy, who turns out to be a minor character.  All in all, a quick read, but a disappointing one.
