Review: A tough Texas Ranger
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 29, 2013
This is a typical Western novel, rather like those of Louis L’amour.  Morgan Kane is an older retired Texas Ranger who recently shot and killed a badman.  The rest of the gang is out to get Morgan, luring him into gambling where he lost his money, and then showing up on the same train as he is on.  Three of the men catch him between railroad cars, beat him up, shoot him in his right hand and stomach and toss him overboard.  An ordinary man would have died, but because of his toughness and knowledge of the strength of the human body, he is able to survive long enough for a rancher to find him and take him home where he is nursed by the family.Morgan has a weakness for booze, women and gambling.  From reading the other reviews, I find that these stories were written in the sixties by a Norwegian and that probably accounts for the awkward sexual scenes that may have been inserted at this time.  Most westerns of those times had quick hugging and kissing, but nothing explicit.  Actually it is a quick, entertaining read and I enjoyed it.  I recommend it for anyone who enjoyed the Westerns of yester year.
