The adventures begin with a simple tale involving Cash Laramie. These first two have the feel of the Western serials I used to watch on a Saturday morning. We get a snippet of Cash in action. There are shootouts and at least one woman bedded.Then we meet Gideon Miles, the black marshal. This is a nice touch. Gideon is a target for racial abuse. He can handle it. I don't mean he'll just take it with a shrug saying `it's all water off a duck's back.' I mean he can outdraw anyone around and is pretty handy with a knife. If you are going to use the N-word to Gideon you'd better make sure your affairs are in order first.Teamed up with Cash they are a formidable pairing. Which is why they are not teamed up that often through these stories. If they were they'd be pretty short stories indeed - Cash and Gideon had some arse kicking to do, which they did. They are together enough for us to enjoy the way they get along with each other.
