`Dynamite Riders : 9/11 in the Old West' delivers just what the title suggests. Full-length western fiction novel about terrorism, lots of gun fighting scenes. Take a step back in time and experience terrorism in a whole new way. In 1875 terrorism was not the same thing that it is today. Now, we have bombs and people crashing planes into skyscrapers. In 1875, sticks of dynamite were the norm. Terror was accomplished simply by riding through town on a horse tossing sticks of dynamite into opened doorways and windows.The day Alf Gant decides to do this, he happens to kill a young couple and their baby son, only in town to do some shopping. The couple was part of a very prominent, rich family who now has an axe to grind. Gant, whose birth name is Omar bin Laden has started a Holy war that he might not be able to handle. However, when the avengers of the young couple begin dying one by one, it looks as though there is a traitor amongst them. Who's to know who will win? You will have to read it yourself to find out.This is another highly impressive work of Van Holt. If you read one, you will be hooked!
