I found this book an entertaining read. There is more to it than that, but you can enjoy it on any level you like. It offers good prose, a plot that moves along at a comfortable pace, and an interesting historical setting. This is my first exposure to Clyde Edgarton but it will not be my last.

Not the best of his works. Try Raney or Walking Across Egypt to know why there are Clyde Edgerton fans who will even read Redeye: A Western. And don't ever miss an opportunity to hear him talk and tell tales.
