Publisher Description
A stunning novel of justice and survival by acclaimed western storyteller Giles Tippette.
Wilson Young got his stretch of Texas hardscrabble fair and square. Now a bunch of lowlife carpetbaggers have stolen it from under him. Taking his case to the law taught him one thing: justice was best served by pointing his gun and shooting—until every last miscreant was squashed under the heel of his boot. Now he’s a legend. That’s the easy part. Staying alive is going to take a lot more bullets . . .
“Like True Grit . . . a small masterpiece . . . brilliantly written.”—Newark News
“Spine-jarring, bullet-biting intensity.”—Houston Post
“Tough, gutsy, and fascinating.”—NY Newsday
“Impressive authenticity.”—Booklist
Customer Reviews
Worth a Read
The description for this book sets no pretenses of being shakespearean or anything other than a simple western, and in that it does a good job. Giles Tibette is excellent in setting an atmosphere for his characters where you feel like you’re really in the midst of it all. The dialogue is top notch too. Granted, the first act is horrendously slow but it does pick up a lot and what some might call a disappointing direction for the story another might call a realistic expectation. I enjoyed it.
