The Last Ride

by Ethan J. Wolfe

In 1885, Walter Burke is making his
living as a bounty hunter. After his sister,
a New York City socialite, passes away,
Walter travels east to assume responsibility
for her only son. The young, sickly
boy stands to inherit his mother’s vast
estate, despite protests from the boy’s
stepfather. Walter takes his nephew west
on a long journey into a world the boy
has only read about in schoolbooks and
dime store novels.
Walter and the boy embark on their
journey as strangers, but after facing danger
and adventure together, they begin to
form a bond. Then the boy is kidnapped.
With a hired band of gunfighters, the kidnapper
plans to take Walter to Mexico,
leave him for dead and claim the vast
inheritance. But he hasn’t reckoned on
Walter’s skills as a rider and tracker, nor
on his determination to free his nephew
by any means necessary.

[Blaine · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have longed to get into reading Westerns and this is the first one I have read. I don't know why I chose his one but I am very happy I did. This is a fun and easy read that moves along quickly with short chapters. The story, though not "action packed" keeps the reader engaged and wanting more. Very happy to have started my journey reading this book.

Wolfe’s first novel is as solid as any of his other westerns. You can’t ask for much better when it comes to modern day traditional westerns. I do wish his audience was larger. I feel like I’m the only one who reads his books.

Another well written story of the old west.

[Christina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good story. Some editing errors, but good story with humor thrown in. Looking forward to reading more novels by Mr. Wolfe.
