Rambler was an excellent choice for my first venture into western fiction in decades. Mr. Winchester has crafted a fast-paced story that gallops along toward the inevitable showdown, but not so fast as to throw the reader from the saddle. Set in a time when life was relatively simple, brutal, and all too often short, Rambler has to work through complex relationships that challenge his principles while keeping his gun loaded at all times. Rambler is a fun read, and I look forward to his next adventure.
