The legend born amid that bloody landscape will forever transform the Wild West.BOOK 2: California’s Gold Rush found a mountain of minerals and a wealth of cutthroats. When bandits kill Robby Miller, Apache Jack must lure out his cousin’s killers. Then Nevada’s Comstock Lode explodes and Jack must impose peace before he marries Geronimo’s lost daughter. Finally, the Civil War breaks out and the Apache Wars intensify. Through it all, Apache Jack plans vengeance on Geronimo for murdering his mother.BOOK 3: Geronimo wants to die fighting, Billy the Kid wants the last laugh, and Wyatt Earp wants vengeance for his brother’s murder.

[Flo · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story seemed a confused mix of historical fact and total fiction. For example ending with Geronimo being tortured slowly on a remote island, which is not true. However, some of the incidents seem to be based around factual events, including names of Apaches and military involved.

The story seems very much two-speed. At times it goes into detail about family manipulation of circumstances surrounding events. At other times I seems to do not a lot more than state facts or abbreviate the fiction.

I did enjoy the main characters not being heroes but being as evil as everybody else (e.g. how they used Apaches to kill Mexicans and Americans in competition with them for land).

The longest novel I’ve read in awhile

I give Mr. Reilly high marks for a lengthy, and very detailed adaptation of our Old West. Some of the characters had depth, like Apache Jack; but others did not. There was a tad bit of repetition in the telling; but isn’t that what Life is about, repetition. I felt the scene settings could have been brought to life better; but overall they were acceptable. Some good history mixed with fiction.
