Eager to strike out on his own and create his own path, Luke Dawson leaves his life as a cowboy on his father's ranch. But unexpected events keep him from his trail, taking him in directions he never even imagined. First, he must save Sing Loo, a Chinese laborer working on the railroad near the Dawson's Circle D ranch. In appreciation, Sing Loo teaches Luke the art of hand-to-hand combat. Luke is forced to use both his fists and his guns when the Circle D becomes embroiled in a range war with the neighboring Bar H ranch. Luke, Sing Loo, and the other Circle D hands take the fight into Bar H territory, and, in their battles, Luke earns a reputation as a first-rate gunslinger. Wells Fargo agents in nearby Dodge City hear of Luke's exploits and offer him a job as a Special Agent: another adventure which is sure to test his skills and his mettle.
A very encouraging first book! This is a fast-paced read with lots of action and an incredible knowledge of guns. The author is very clean (no foul language or sex and the violence is not gory), which I really appreciated. The only downside was that Luke is able to get out of danger too quickly too often, but that's a minor complaint. A great book to read on the plane or on vacation when you want to escape. I'm looking forward to the sequel!
