I like everything Doug Boulter has written.And most of it is slightly different from the others.Courtesan is great.But I like this book the best.It is about a man's man.Mad Dog McLean.If you enjoyed the movie Gunga Din or any John Wayne movie, you will like this book. The tone is "right".  McLean is unjustifiably hounded. And looks for redemption. But a hero he is.I love the quote that the author uses when he describes the book:"I have often been asked, had I the chance to do it again, if I would.  I have never answered that question and have ignored those who asked.  But I answer it now.  In a heartbeat.  For her.  I pay my debts.  If she were to call I, and all the others, would answer that call.  But she will not call; for she knows we have given enough.Alan (Mad Dog) McLean"Just read it.
