I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I was wary when I started as I've never really read a 'western' before, but the description appealed to me so I thought I'd 'give it a go'. Boy am I glad I did!  To start with my understanding of 'western' seems to have been misguided...this is no cowboy and indian shoot em up!Right from the beginning you are taken in by the story and find yourself wanting to get to know Jonas Cable, our cowboy hero, some more and see what he does when he gets to L.A and things get hairy with the gang that he is trying to extract his grandson (that he never even knew existed) from.The characters in this book are solid and very real. The authors ability to be descriptive in his writing had me almost able to smell the clear, crisp air of the Montana mountains, see the events unfolding in L.A, and most impressively, feel the gammet of emotions that Jonas and his grandson are experiencing in their journey together.To me a story is defined as gripping and successful if you feel that you don't want to put the book down, and can't wait to get back to it to see what's happening, if you did have to take a break for 'real life' stuff. The author, L.J Martin has a style of writing that is captivating and I look forward to reading more of his work!Thankyou for this entertaining and heartwarming read Mr Martin. Highly recommended!
