It wasn't a bad book. There was plenty of action that kept me reading at a pace. But I really had trouble liking Foxworthy, even after he began to change as he saw what his actions had caused. Until almost the last 30 or 40 pages, I wasn't even sure if he was supposed to be a good guy, or just less bad than those around him.

Delightful book. Excellent writing, nonstop action, a wide variety of believable and interesting characters, and great plot. There was a bit more exposition in this one on one particular topic than I've seen in his other books, and it was a bit on the nose, but it didn't last too long, so it wasn't a big deal.

The Cheyenne Pool (1972) This Lewis B. Patten western had the potential to be more than it turns out to be. Dan Foxworthy is the foreman for the Cheyenne Pool, a cattle combine that has illegally had acres and acres of grazing land for years, and he is asked to lead the fight against a bunch of nesters, led by some in-bred Tennesee trash called the Stotts. In places this seems like it is going to recognize more moral ambiguities, but in the end it ends as a traditional shoot-em-up.
