Review: And just as bad
Rating: 2 out of 5

See my reviews of "The Silver Trail" and "Hangman's Noose" for more about O'Brien. This one is as bad or worse than Hangman's Noose". I actually started skipping page after page of the story when it was obvious that O'Brien was being a fool. Then I threw it away in disgust - took me two days to be able to face up to it again. I skimmed through the second half and it was just as I expected - O'Brien taking unnecessary risks, and failing to be prepared for the actions of the baddies. He deals with the leader but forgets about the hired gunslinger and this oversight causes unimaginably disastrous results.I have enjoyed other books by Ben Bridges and have rated them both 4 and 5 stars. But I cannot enjoy any of the O'Brien series.
