You remember who murdered your family
Holt Hamilton was ten years old when Reid Sinclair killed his father, seven-year-old twin sisters, and mother. Holt is playing hookey from his chores on the farm and returning home when he sees and hears Sinclair and Sinclair’s men kill his family, pretending to be Indians.
A nearby Comanche tribe found him exhausted running from the killers and gave him sanctuary in their village. The law would not believe Holt when he accused Sinclair, that or they were in Sinclair’s pay.
Time passes, Sinclair becomes even more entrenched in the area. He owns the lawmen of two nearby towns. No one dares to cross him, except a cautious Holt who is now grown and ready to get revenge.
Follow Holt as he attempts to get the goods on SinclairHe has to be careful. He does not know who works for Sinclair.
Journey to a time in the West when land barons rule, trains are just starting to roam the land, and there are guys in white hats, that just might have a feather or two!

Vengeance is definitely the game here. Holt was 10 years old when he saw his family being murdered. And that is something and someone you never forget. He was taken in by Indians. Now all grown up he’s out for his vengeance...but will he be able to get it ? As the murderer owns so much to include the police. This story makes you wonder how many times this really happened in those days. Sad but captivating with suspense and twists.

Very poor, not at all believable
As a long time fan, and avid reader of westerns, I have to say this is one of the worst I have ever read. Virtually no action, long drawn out musings , a boy orphaned at 10 , raised by Indians, yet has plenty of cash. Blonde curly hair to his shoulders but is mistaken for an Indian. Rides equipped with a lantern so he can track at night! Really?
Won't be reading any more of these books.

As a young boy, Holt had lived in two worlds, the one he was born in to and the one that he lived in with the Indians. Both ways of life served him well. He was a bitter man who felt much had been taken from him. The book is filled with action and human suffering. We have enjoyed the way this author writes as both my hubby and I have read this book.

This is the first book I have read by this author and will not be the last.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's a story about Two people who lost their families, finding each other.
It has murder, suspense, intrigue, plotting, stealing, love, romance, and a happy ever after so I am sure you will find a lot about it you like.

A feel good book
This is a book of good over evil and was nice to read a book that told the story of the compassion and good of the Indian people rather than characterizing them as just savages . There is not a lot of violence as is normal but the story and the characters had interesting story lines and you felt like you got to know them.

This is written like an old fashioned western. Men were men, and women were lower on the list than a horse or gun. There were also good Indian tribes and bad tribes. Everything was plausible, but not likely.

The Last Call for Vengeance
This was a good read that gives you a lot of action and adventure,which avoids a lot of useless bloodshed and violence making a good read better.

A pleasant read
Ethan Westfield writes a gentle kind of story with positive outcomes.
Although the style is not perfectly to my liking, I'm positive many will think otherwise.

Did not like
I did not finish reading the book because of the language. The story might have been good if the author had not felt it necessary to put profanity in it.
