Probably might consider this a routine Western revenge tale but the author draws vivid characterizations and fills the book out with wall-to-wall action, maintaining a fast pace throughout.
Enjoyable read.
I'd recommend this to long-time fans of Western novels. You can't do much better than T. V. Olsen.
