Review: Their Refuge and Fortress
Rating: 5 out of 5

The David brothers, preachers and shootists one and all, continue their stand with the settlers and the attractive widows against the 'bad guys'.There are plenty of 'bad guys' to go around. "The Shadow" tells of an encounter weighted in the favor of the 'good guys' only because they draw on faith. Knowing from whence cometh their defense, they are overcomers against greater odds.  The 'good' embrace the 91st Psalm as they go into their battles and they do triumph. This time.  I admit, I'm hooked; I'll be waiting for the next episode/volume to learn what happens in that encounter.  Even though I know the good guys win in the end (especially win the girls), Murray Pura writes a very good story that keeps a reader's interest.Murray Pura moves us through one more episode in The Old West; through the emotional and meteorological heat of the desert. Description of the environment, the love combinations, the sadness of 'war' losses, and the bravery common to all pioneers is bright and clear for the reader who cannot be there in person.
