THIS STORY BEGINS WHEN THE TWO "BROTHERS"  ANDY MOORE AND BEN BLUE ARE FOURTEEN AND TWELVE, RESPECTIVELY.  THEY HAVE TO GROW UP REAL FAST.  THIS IS A REALLY WELL WRITTEN, WELL DEVELOPED STORY.  IT KEEPS YOU INTERESTED, FROM THE VERY FIRST PAGE.  THE CHARACTERS ARE VERY REAL AND BELIEVABLE.  THERE ARE SOME REAL SURPRISES IN STORY FOR YOU.  I DIDN'T WANT TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN UNTIL I FINISHED IT.  I DIDN'T WANT THE STORY TO EVER END.  IT IS THAT GOOD.  THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK READ BY AUTHOR LOU BRADSHAW, BUT I HOPE IT ISN'T THE LAST.  HOWEVER, IT COULD STAND SOME EDITING.  BUT THIS DOESN'T DISTRACT FROM THE STORYLINE.  BRADSHAW DID A LOT OF WORK RESEARCHING THE HISTORY OF THIS SITTING.  I REALLY DIDN'T CARE FOR THE ENDING, WITH ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS GITTING KILLED.  THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LONG SERIES ABOUT HIM.  BUT MAYBE IT WILL BE A LONG SERIES ABOUT THE ONE.  IF YOU LIKE A GOOD WESTERN, WITH A LOT OF ACTION AND SURPRISES, YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK.  I RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE WHO LOVES TO READ GOOD, ACTION PACKED WESTERN'S,
