He quickly clashes with Vickers’s deputies, supposed allies, and Vickers’s wife Sophie, on her own vengeance trail.Then lynching and gunplay muddy the picture. Can Joshua bring justice to the range and save Liberty?BONUS FEATURE: The Book that Blazed a TrailFrom the very beginning this book moves at speed, then races along like a runaway train heading for a collision and destruction. As Chap O’Keefe introduces more and more characters, so the plot deepens through twists and turns, and all sides are brought together for a final, exciting clash of wits, guns and knives. O’Keefe’s writing style is very readable and soon sucks you into the plot making this book very difficult to put down. There are plenty of strong male characters and a couple of memorable women, Liberty and Sophie, who take two leading roles. And if it’s action you want, this story is brimming with it. - Western Fiction Review
