The Ruthless Men

by Lewis B. Pattern

Luke Partin was dust-covered and beat but he would not rest. The trail he was following was very, very, fresh. Exactly half an hour old. The man he was going to kill was somewhere in this town. A foam-flecked bay horse was there, tied to the rail in front of the courthouse. Luke knew that horse. He'd followed it for several hundred miles. Now, at last, Luke would speak through his gun and cut down the man who had ruined and murdered the people he loved.

Good story, quick read, typical “turn a page” western. There were a very few areas that were unclear and a couple of grammatical errors like “He could of done that.” Ugh. It’s “could have” or “could’ve” but you can’t “of” something. That was minor though. I enjoyed the book and will read the author again. Also, I felt the very end did not completely finalize the story, but not in a forthcoming sequel way.

This book was what I wanted and needed - fast paced, revenge, little lovey dovey, straight to the point and did I say, “REVENGE?

I read this because of a review from another user. As an introduction into the Lewis B. Patten literary world I must say that the first impression was a good one. I now know where to go when I need that fix.

This is an exciting and well-written novel. Unable to put it down, I read it straight through to the end in a few hours.

It was almost the 1960s when this was written, racist savage Indian tropes could’ve been left out. YA level writing with adult violence. Predictable in the extreme. What about Raphael?
