A CS. Western Action Adventure (CC)
CS. has penned a western action adventure, which begins in a gunfight over cards and the shooter on the run because no one claimed they saw the gunfight. The man in the run stays home for eight months and then learns his father had been shot. He returns home and the law is expecting him. It's a Deputy Sheriff in cahoots with the Sheriff to take over the Lassiter ranch. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

What wild western throwback! I loved the dialogue and the characters! The author really made you feel like the story was set in a time period that suited the genre. Nothing like reading a justified old western tale.

Close Call
A pretty good book. The author did a very good job keeping the reader wondering what is going to happen next and how will the hero escape.
