Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 12 10, 2011
African-American U.S. Marshal Gideon Miles in this first-rate novella dashes the stereotypes of the Old West found in its popular literature. Miles has a firm code of justice as a sworn peace officer, but he wields it with compassion, even-temper, and intelligence as he hunts down a wanted bank robber. This yarn makes for an entertaining way to spend a couple hours reading.
