[Wilde Sky]

A man is offered a bizarre challenge by a mysterious stranger - he can shoot three times at the person, but if he misses he must allow him to do the same within the year.

The plot of this Western was very mystic, with the main character meeting a series of weird people on his travels, but enjoyable.

Not your traditional Western story but worth reading if you want to read something out of the ordinary.
