Rating: 5 out of 5

This book begins in Oak Park, Texas in 1869 where seventeen-year-old Willy Boy is in jail about to hang and this is not an option for him.  So, he decides to break out of jail and tells the other five prisoners that they either come with him or die right there.Thus, the beginning of the "Willy Boy Gang."In the jail break Willy Boy shoots Deputy Seth Matthews in the head leaving him for dead and before the gang gets out of town two more deputies are shot and killed and the gang is on it's way to creating a price on their heads of $12,000 each and leaving a bloody trail of revenge across the United States.This book has an estimated length of 134 pages and normally I don't read books that are so short because my experience is they are too rushed and not enough time to get really interesting.Wrong!!  Chet Cunningham does an amazing job of cramming so much excitement in such a short space and this series was something I couldn't put down until I had read each book.  Unfortunately the last two of the series were not offered on Kindle.After having a Kindle it felt like going from e mail to snail mail when I had to read a regular paperback book.Every book is about a different member of the gang and the reader gets an in-depth view of the each outlaws life and what brought him to his life of crime.If you like a really well written western that will keep you involved from beginning to end I would definitely recommend this series.Thanks for your kind attentionJane
