Family Feud Gone Wild

What had started as two families feuding had turned into an all out war which involved the entire community, especially the town of Reservation. When Marshal Jim Majors arrived in town, he found himself amidst enough gunfighters to start his own war, and he knew one wrong move would cause the whole thing to erupt into an all out battle to the finish. But Majors had taken on the job to "tame" Reservation and he would do it, come hell or high water--the trouble was how to do it. His badge made him a target. Add to that complication a woman, a strong woman, and Jim Majors had even more trouble to deal with. Sundown Jim is a solid novel packed with characters with strengths and weaknesses you will recognize in people you know; and that's what makes it an Ernest Haycox novel. His characters are never cookie cutter types, but people you can identify with and understand why they do some of the things they do. Maybe the overwhelming odds seem outlandish and a bit too incredible to be overcome, but when all is said and done, the solution and resolution to getting the job done is plausible and realistic. Get this one and enjoy a treat by one of the greatest of western novelists.

1 against 50? They haven't got a chance!

Sundown Jim fights a solitary battle. It won't be that close. He enters a new town where bad guy is trying to take over everything. One man against 50? You've got to be kidding! Because this is Ernest Haycox writing, it is exciting, more credible and interesting than this same plot by anyone else - with extra dollop of Haycox dry humor.
