Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 28, 2014
Five-plus stars for this one. A great story, memorable characters, lots of action and plenty of suspense. Jeb Taylor is a great and yet believable hero. He is both very human and extremely competent. He loves passionately, is super-efficient with his weapons, honest to a tee, but unrelenting in his stand against his enemies. The heroine is not a wilting, over-scrupulous woman inhibited by religious piety. On the contrary, she is strong, supportive and dependable, and hence worthy of her man.The cattle baron who is the anti-hero is bad beyond belief and Jeb suffers terrible misfortunes at his hands. But Jeb's efficiency and competence, with the help of his friends, mean that the greedy baron has perhaps bitten of more than he can chew.The story is well-told, the descriptions are vivid, the characters are believable. A truly great western.
