Reviews

[P.S. Winn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this novel that introduces Andrew Apperley when he visits his brother David Andrew brings along a giant wolf dog, Comanche. Something his brother didn't expect. Comanche is wild and has to be chained up for the safety of others. The Apperley brothers come across a man drowning and Comanche surprises all when he becomes a hero. Good story.

Amazing story

This is another of his excellent works of art. I've never been disappointed in any of his stories. Excellent author.

It was an interesting story which captured the idyllic wild west of good vs evil, and redemption.
However, the writing style just wasn't something I could connect with as it had a dime novel feel. With that said I know of several people I could recommend to read more from this author. It's never a waste of time when you find something you can use to connect with other readers.

Great story of the bond between wolf and man and the power of their commitment to each other. Great read of those who like to take a little diversion into the world of the Ole' West.

[Paul Parkinson]

Like him so much better than Zane Grey. I'll read more of him when I get the chance.
