Hammond
The Jones gang calls them missionaries, though they most certainly are not. Whatever they are, scraggly beards, thin skin drawn tight over skeleton frames, they’ve crawled out from the darkest cracks of civilization. And the Jones’s would sooner kill them all than give them their gold mine back. Enter Les Hammond. A man who lives in that undefined space between lawman and hired gun. His price is high, but he’s the missionaries' only hope. They’ll promise to pay, but where gold is concerned, a pious man’s promise is no better than a thief's.

RELIGIOUS CHAINS
A bunch of religious zealots, who let their children die from starvation, and didn't bother to bury them. Where they stopped is where they left them, no burial.
This sounds like a fire and brimstone type of cult. They weren't the type of people you want to live next door. They discovered a gold mine and they went to the nearest town and one them brags about the gold they've found and the next thing they know, the Jones gang shows up and takes over the mine.
This bunch justifies their existence by their convoluted religious beliefs. They consider everyone else as spawns of the Devil..They believe in exchanging women as cattle and that man is the ruler of all women...

A great Western piece that focuses on a situation different from typical stories, but could easily have happened. A lot goes down in this quick read, you get different perspectives and some twists that show great creativity. If you're strongly religious don't take offense to the book, keep in mind what life was like back then, and enjoy!

Tight prose, fluid action sequences, and surprising character depth for a novel of its size make Cordovano's entry into the Western genre a welcomed one.
Readers giving this book a negative review most likely did not appreciate the religious zealots turning out worse than the generic "bad guys."
If you like a solid Western with built-up suspense, check it out. If you're a religious nutcase and easily offended, this is probably not for you.
