Review: Old West tale in outer space
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 07 9, 2014
As a fan of science fiction and of westerns, I wanted this to be enjoyable. It exceeded my expectations.  Good plot, great characters, evil-beyond-normal-villains, human greed, but anti-heroes and everyday heroes of epic proportions.  The only quibbles are with some of the names that make you expect this to be a retread of some old tales.  When you combine Hiawatha, Doc Holliday, and others, sometimes you wonder if this is going to devolve into just plain silly.  Guess what?  It never does get silly, and the book works.  If you enjoy westerns and sci-fi, you will at the very least like this book.
