Synopsis

The masters of American frontier storytelling return with the saga of a bold, fearless western legend. When you're a gun for hire, the difference between right and wrong is settled with a bullet...

Crater City, New Mexico, is a bustling mining town brimming with the stench of men hungry to get rich the old fashioned way — killing the competition. Dennis Conroy is the owner of the biggest saloon in town, and he needs a few good sharpshooters to help protect surveyors laying out a route for a spur rail lie before his rival Hugh Thornton beats him to it. Jo Buckhorn's handy with a gun so he takes the job. Against his best advice, he'll also take a liking to the boss's daughter, which doesn't go over well with her father. Worse, Buckhorn starts wondering exactly what kind of man he's working for. Before the sun goes down much blood will be spilled and a lot of men will be blasted into the middle of next week. Joe Buckhorn aims to be sure he's not one of them...

Compared to the epic sci-fi I usually tackle, this was a very quick read. A fantastic story told at a break-neck pace with likable good guys and unlikable villains. This is the first western I've read since my youth, and it was a blast imagining the scenery you'd find in the series Deadwood or films......more

Goodreads review by James on June 16, 2022

A thoroughly brisk but generic read. I acquired a cheap back catalog of westerns and historical novels recently and figured I'd start with this. Now, I'm somebody who loves a good old fashioned Western, and the past three odd years of being hemmed up inside and constrained by draconian political fia......more
