Review: Will Cannon Action Slows Down
Rating: 3 out of 5

I have read many of the Will Cannon books available and I generally like their "read in an afternoon" story length.  This one had some great potential, but I felt really got bogged down in the mechanics of rebuilding the community of Red River.  The action was sparse in comparison to the details of building this and cleaning that.  Too much reuse of dialog and reoccurring scenes. Once three men were taken prisoner as Mexican Bandits they were put on a work release....but they continually were known only as the Mexican Bandits...come on, don't get lazy, lets develop a wee bit more identity.  As in all the books read so far the dialog is bunched up not formatted out so that causes some slowing up of reading to make sure that you are "hearing" what "which" character is saying.  Also the last 1/3rd of the book on my kindle had the margin formatting problem...again!.  Could have been a great story of rescue of a town and redemption of individuals, but felt the author was a bit lazy on this one.
