Completely false advertising. The cover shows a heavily armed man ready for vengeance, yet the protagonist comes across entirely as befuddled and inept and WON'T use a gun!
Massive logical story arc inconsistencies throughout, with a Mega lame wrap it up ending without addressing or even mentioning the starving villagers issue.
The book is begging for intelligent editing. I'm glad I only spent $2.31 on this destined for the outhouse paperback.

Not a vengeance story, unrealistic, not believable, like the author clicked and pasted it together.

Excellent...Excellent...A very good story page turner, should keep the reader engrossed in the tale and wanting to see how things turn out, it sure did for me! The finale had some surprises as well.
