Outlaw Valley

by Max Brand

Terry Shawn was a kind-hearted outlaw. He took from the rich and gave to the poor and while doing so, stole the heart of a beautiful young woman. Infuriated lawmen could never catch up with him. But deep in one secluded valley lived an older man with such a haunted past, he chose the solitude of a wild mountain range to find peace for his troubled soul. From this man named Shannon, Terry came to know the real meaning of honesty and friendship. More importantly, he learned that adventure without regard for others could lead to disaster.

Reviews

[Mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

Had a great beginning and ending. The book was a bit slow during the middle but concluded very well. Some characters I felt were not given justice in terms of the story. I wish it were longer but it had a good ending.

This is one of two books I took with me for airplane reading, wanting a book I did not need to bring home. I simply did not care after 100 pages and switched to the other book.
