[Merlin · Rating 4 out of 5]

May hat ganze Arbeit geleistet: Aus Ferrys ursprünglichem Roman, der nahezu unlesbar war, hat er ein spannendes Werk gebastelt, das seinen Charakteren viel gerechter wird als Ferrys endlose und dabei noch flache Gedankengänge. Nur das Ende ist bei May etwas arg überstürzt.

[Jerimy Stoll · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everything I love in an adventure book rest in the pages of this classic piece. The book starts in Spain where a crime is committed and most of the main actors are introduced. The characters are then found in the Southern United States in a time when Native Americans were still considered savages, and the laws of the desert were harsh. There are noblemen, adventurers, herdsmen, vaqueroes, peasants, savages, criminals, coast guardsmen, trappers, hunters, and sailors. The plot is loaded with twists and turns. Some of the common themes include murder, vengeance, love, romance, greed, scheming, friendship, regret, family, God, and more. This book was a page-turner for me. I would recommend this book to people who like classics, adventure, historical fiction, and westerns.
