El Paso

by Matt Braun

It is 1881. El Paso, the wildest border town in an untamed Texas, is at a crossroads. A booming sin city crawling with corrupt politicians and gunslick outlaws, the town now faces its greatest challenge: the savagery of the notorious Banning Brothers.

Dallas Stoudenmire is the marshal El Paso has hired to bring a quick end to the Bannings' reign of terror. Bloodshed erupts as the Bannings hire an assassin to send Stoudenmire to an early grave. Now the former Texas ranger will rely on nerves and a quick gun to save his own life-- and bring swift justice to a desperate town...

You have to stick to the story... it becomes interesting. Not too bad for the first western book that I ever read.

[Keith B · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read this as a teen and ended up living in El Paso a couple times. Not because of the book itself though.

Good story but don't look for a lot of historical accuracy.

[Ross Rawnsley · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice easy read....nothing too deep, but entertaining nonetheless!

I think I have to move Mr. Braun to my list of best western writers along with Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour and Elmer Kelton ... I couldn't put it down.
