This was, beyond a doubt, the best of the trilogy. The previous books had some problems with too much exposition, and this one did a great job of avoiding that. The author is definitely getting better as he goes, unlike so many authors who seem to have peaked and begun to decline. I was really attac...

There was a ruthlessness to the story that just kept amazing me. The only criticism I had was that there...

1870 - American West - young boys and their journey... Except this isn't your usual Western tale with romanticized cowboys and rowdy times in the saloons. The story is unrelenting in its depictions of senseless violence, racism, sexism, the trials of homesteading and the dangers faced by two young ...
