Review: A great Western set in Australia

Ariel Tachna's INHERIT THE SKY is a contemporary western, but instead of being set in the western United States, it's set in the Outback of Australia, on a sheep station. The setting is perfect for a story about a man who gives up everything to gain even more.The story dragged a bit for me during the first half of the book with a great deal of information about Australian sheep stations but the pace picks up dramatically in the second half, which meant I was completely drawn into the story and couldn't put the book down. The initial slow pace gave time for deep character development. I enjoyed this excellently researched and written book very much and hope there will be additional stories about all of the characters on and near the Lang Down sheep station.
