This is an excellently written story with action, compelling drama & at tmes nail biting suspense. I've read many of Max Brand's books, but this has become my absolute favorite. The characters are well developed & the plot is engaging. I couldn't put it down. It is so much more than a typical western (though I do love the genre). I rooted for the villian despite his dreadful deeds. There is an eerie component to this story that will stick with me for a long time.  The wordless understanding the main character shares with his unusual companions is chilling, but simultaneously endearing - an odd mix of emotions for any story -  which only proves the talent of the author. I didn't want the story to end. Read this book, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! The Kindle edition does have some typos, but not enough to drive me crazy.
