Each actor is a mechanical wind-up toy set in motion and the outcome is predictable from the first couple of pages. There is little imagination, development, or drama here. I can’t give it the lowest review because it is, at least unintentionally, at times funny. It’s also useful as an example of a stale genre that greater writers (Cormac McCarthy) would respond to later. ( ) This book set the standard for me as an author. It was the first Kelton book that I read and his work in this novel is outstanding. His storytelling skills take the reader back to a time when the character of men was tested out in the open for all to see. And that is what this tale does. I actually felt like I was watching a movie on the big screen while swept up in the turmoil between the characters Kelton so capably created. This story will make you a Kelton fan!

Rugged and independent, Hugh Hitchcock loves his cowboy life. But when circumstances, loyalty, and honor drive him from his chosen occupation, he reluctantly assumes a role of great responsibility and risk in the new social order--sheriff. Although Hitch tries to settle disputes through diplomacy, his new charge requires constant vigilance and exceptional courage. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
