This is Mr. Vaznis' second western and it is more thrilling and captivating than the first. This is the kind of western I grew up reading and seeing at the movies. Reading the exploits of the man in the dirty white stetson as the story progresses kept me turning page after page. Great story, well written and very intriguing. When I sit down to read a western this is the kind of story and book I hope to read. I hope everyone finds it as enjoyable as I have.
