I have come to admire Lex Sinclair as a writer of brilliant and vivid science fiction and horror-and never expected a cowboy setting in a story of the gunslinging Wild West to emerge from his fertile imagination! Nevertheless, here it is-a riveting tale in which he has captured the essential atmosphere of a Western with its hot dry sun-baked territory, the hardened men, the saloon, the coarse barkeeper, and the pretty girl that knocks young men for a sixer! A good drama emerges from a battle between right and wrong, the just and the unjust, the sincere and the corrupt-and what could be more engaging than a battle against a corrupt Sherriff who is supposed to uphold the values of morality and civilisation? The almost shocking and stark reality of the violent resolution of the conflict at the end might surprise the reader in this gritty tale of injustice and revenge! -Charles Muller, Diadem Books
