Starlight rider

by Ernest Haycox

Hugh Tracy was a man born to trouble. He proved that when he first bucked Tad Shadrow's move to control the country around Antelope. Tough as he was, Tracy lost the fight to a gunslick hired to ambush him. It was a high price to pay for a spread that was almost worthless. That was in the past, but now he was back to prove he was too big to scare and too tough to kill.

[Kellyt · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not one of Ernest Haycox’s best books but nevertheless a good weekend read. To get a real feel for his best work read Canyon Passage, Alder Gulch, or one of his short stories like Stage to Lordsburg, from which the classic movie Stagecoach was made or The Border Trumpet. In those stories, his position as one of the deans of Western writing is evident.

Loved the writing, the characters, the scene setting, the dialogue. The plotting was lacking.
