A brilliant mashup of the events of 9/11 and the old West! Richman, a town in the old West is attacked not by planes but by men on horsebacks throwing around dynamite. The result though, is the same - the death of innocents.The perpetrator is Alf Gant. And just like the perpetrator of the real 9/11, this man lives among the hills. He is brutal and has sinister plans cooking in his hideout.  He is hell bent on causing more damage and the Richman massacre was just the beginning.The author Van Holt has certainly got me interested in the Western genre and this is the second book of his that I have now read. The book kept me engrossed and the characterization and the flow of story was very good. The vivid descriptions are very helpful too. It almost felt like the old West had come alive and that it faced the same threat of terrorism that we do in the modern world.So, the US did go in and avenge for the real 9/11 attacks. What happens in this story? Will there be revenge? Will some brave souls go and take the fight to Alf Gant? Will they even succeed in it? Read this to find out!
