Author Van Holt's traditional Western, contains all the elements one would expect--the tall, broad-shouldered fast-gun hero, his half-brother, who was even faster before he was shot, the frightened, but kind-hearted woman and her cowardly husband who are squatters trying to scratch out a living, the small town bar and general store, the evil rich rancher who is trying to run everyone else off the land, so he can have it all for himself and his big operation, the "hands" who follow his orders, sometimes orders to kill, the rancher's beautiful, but rebellious daughter, the final shoot-out where the odds are against our hero, ten against one.Van Holt writes great scenes, straight out of the Western tradition. Stay tuned to learn whether the hero goes down fighting or rides off into the sunset with the beautiful girl.If you like a traditional Western, you won't be disappointed. Easy, entertaining read.Dorothy May Mercer, Author The McBride Series, Romantic Suspense
