Customer Reviews

Love Jennings, glad I was able to find this old one used.

Not really on par with his classics: Aztec, Journeyer, etc....but this was a fun and quick read. He takes us to the old west around the turn of the century. Jennings is still one of the great writers of historical fiction, I often wonder why his books are not more popular....

If you can find a copy, grab it!

Gary Jennings fans will not be disappointed by this western novel. The canvas is not as broad as his big two-pounders (Aztec, Raptor, Journeyer, Aztec Autumn, and the inferior Spangle), but it's an easy-going ride all the way. There's less overt sex and violence here, but that fits the milieu he's created here, frequently comic and elegiac. I'm glad to see some used copies available-- it's pretty tough to find in general. So buy it while it's here!

Well worth the read.

Yes, it is the Gary Jennings of Aztec/ Journeyer/Raptor fame. As with all Jennings, it revolves around a journey. Strong characters, some humor, too short (which is not like Jennings at all). It is hard to believe that the publisher does not keep this in print (it is even harder to understand this with Spangle).
