Not sure how this ended up on my Kindle, must have been a freebie. More than likely I was attracted by the cover. Actually had to import this to GR so everyone can see it. Not familiar with the author, but looks like he's done some impressive things. This one meant to be a prequel/teaser to his Solomon Creed series and as such it gets the job done. Normally old west (any west really except for maybe Wild Wild one) doesn't do it for me, but this was a pretty entertaining well written story and it does in fact make you interested in the series. Not sure I'm go looking for them, but if they came across my path, I'd seriously consider them, despite the genre not being my top choice. For what it was, a pretty fun quick read, maybe about 45 minutes.
