A WDO. Double Western Adventure (1. Sunset Trail) (2. Twelve Hours Till Noon)

WDO. has. penned a double western adventure. (1. Sunset Trail - A U.S. Agent is given a difficult assignment, a very difficult assignment. He has been ordered to deliver the latest rifles to Dante Fe, Mexico. There are three problems: 1. Weather - not the best time of the year. 2. Outlaws and Comancheros. 3. Comanches. These two reads are excellent for the genre.....DEHS

This is actually two books in one. The first one is a well-written though unspectacular novella around 60 pages. Not much of a plot, not much of a story arc. The second one is over 150 pages and is a fabulous nailbiter, very tense and exciting. A real satisfying read! I sense I might become a fan of this author.

I've decided to dip into a Western. I loved reading these as a kid and have found I still get a kick out of them. Some are better than others. This one looks like a good one.
