Lamour is the greatest

Like all the other Lamour books this is totally entertaining and very cleverly written with so many fascinating insights into life in the old west. Highly recommended.

Logan Sackett

Logan Sackett, part-time outlaw, fast with a gun,and as tough as raw hide, is drifting along and runs into Emily Talon, an equally tough old widow who is defending her land against a bunch of no-good gunslingers. When Logan finds out Emily was born a Clinch Mountain Sackett, he decides to help and it is down hill from there for the gun-slingers, but not without Logan being shot full of holes and nearly being killed several times. The story is full of interesting characters and colorful language. It will keep your interest.

Excellent Balance

I am new to this author. He is a very good story teller. But what struck me most was his ability to have us look through a self-absorbed character's eyes without flinching. The character's self-awareness strikes the delicate balance between over-reaching and true self-assesment.

This is when Jake Flanner is trying to take Em Talons land.

This book is about a man named Jake Flanner that wants to take Em Talons land. But before he takes it Logan Sackett comes to help her. Logan is her relation.After Logan comes he and makes these guys know that he means business. He takes them out one by one until they begin to leave alone. I like this book because the it has alot of action in it.
