A Lust for Lead

by Robert Davis

The American West, 1887. Six years ago, the legendary gunfighter Shane Ennis laid down his guns and swore never to shoot again. Now the Fastest Guns want him back and they won't take no for an answer. In the accursed town of Covenant, far out in the wasteland, a tournament is being held. Sixteen of the best of a new generation of gunfighters have gathered to fight to the death for the Fastest Guns' approval. But the tournament is not all that it seems. Dark forces are plotting behind the scenes and an evil power lies in wait, patiently biding its time until the clock strikes the Gunfighter's Hour.

[Robert Walsh · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book gripped me from the beginning, and I had a hard time putting it down, at least for the first 3/4 of the story. The last 25% seemed to drag a little bit, and the ending was somewhat predictable. I enjoyed how the main character shifted from the present to the past and recounted key events from his experiences.

I haven't read a book this good in a long time. the characters were very believable though they reminded me of the characters in the movie "The Quick and the Dead". The paranormal parts were, to me, very crucial to the story. Very reminiscent of a Stephen King story. I would definitely read more from this author.

I really like the author's writing style, but even though this was billed as a supernatural story it just has to many part to the story that were to unbelievable for me. As a fan of westerns and fantasy stories I found it a little disappointing.

A real page turner. This would also make a great movie. There were a lot of typos in the book but it didn't detract from the fast pace and the way it drew you in.

It was difficult to like the main characters. However, the premise was unique and it was pretty well written.
