Along to Presidio: a western novel

by Eric H. Heisner, Ethan Pro (Illustrator)

When three brothers get involved in the problems of a border town, confrontations quickly escalate between disputing factions with a woman caught in the middle. No one cares enough about the nearly-abandoned, West Texas border town to give it a permanent name or stand up for the remaining citizens. With a few exceptions, unless someone works for the largest cattle outfit in the region or operates the only saloon in town, there isn’t much worth sticking around for. As the tense relationship between the two opposing groups simmers, a trio of brothers comes to town and quickly becomes embroiled in the battle for supremacy. Hostilities come to a head when a mysterious woman arrives in the border region to appeal to those involved and remind them of their dutiful sense of right and wrong. In a harsh western landscape, the struggle of moral consequence draws a dividing line between justice and survival.

A great western with greedy bad guys and the good guys and “ I wonder who’s side they are on”. I read this straight through because I had to know who would be left standing. Superb story telling! And the art work is amazing too.

Interesting book, a little drier Western.

All the characters were good in their part, showing some of the truer nature of the western men and women. The book is well written and the flow is a little slow, but it works out in the end. The story was a true good verses bad, with some of the in between added. The book is interesting to read.

Not Impressed

This was my first ever cowboy/western novel (other than Centennial) so I didn’t know what to expect. That said, this book seemed very cliched and ended similar to the shoot out at the OK Corral!

slow and drawn out

This book was slow to move forward in the story. The plot was drawn out to the point of being hard to pick it up again.
