Comanche Moon

Pony Soldiers #3

by Chet Cunningham

Tired of the evil doings of the government in Washington, the Comanches go on a rampage. Sick of dealing with corrupt whiskey traders, they devote themselves to destroying the lives of the settlers. They go through the land like an unstoppable force, the finger of God, stealing, raping, and murdering. The only group with any chance of stopping the Comanches is the equally bloodthirsty Pony Soldiers. Which side will surrender first?

Sadie is saved

This story was the ending arc in the hunt for Colt Harding's daughter, Sadie. At first I thought this story line was going to drag on for several books, but spoiler alert Sadie is saved along with two other white captives. I did find a very few typos in this book, but they were so minor that they didn't hurt the flow of the story. I will say that as the end nearer I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and White Eagle got his revenge on Colt Harding. So when it didn't happen I was surprised, but now I wonder if Harding and White Eagle are going to cross paths at a later date. For me a story has to have likeable characters and this one did. My only problems was I wanted to know more about them and that didn't happen. Still this was an enjoyable reading for me. If you like westerns then give this one a try.

I try to read books with redeeming historical, educational, value! Fiction is fun if the thread is supported by accurate research and sufficient relevant fact to justify spending time reading the yarn.

Mr. Cunningham does not purport to be Michener but I am enjoying his Indian tales and he is providing enough accurate data to, in my view, make a read of this sort worthy of the time spent.

I will read book 4 of the series next month ............................ Many would rate this book 5 star, I did not simply because I reserve such a rating for works of fiction only when the book is wrapped in copious fact and tedious historical detail!!

Interesting and seems to be like is. I enjoyed it and would liked to have believed that our historical pony soldiers and their leaders could and would have adapted to the type of training and fighting portrayal in this novel. It was so real like!

I would recommend it to all western readers.
The cannibalism talked about, "Indian soup" was a little unreal but added to the overall effect.

Finished

Good book will continue reading this series as long as it is entertaining. So far all of these books have been good.
