The issue arises when the group comes upon a burnt wagon train and they found a lot of money in one of them. Tom Sunday wants to keep the loot and split it,
This book started off a little slow and I found it somewhat hard to get into. The action did pick up toward the latter half of the way through the book and the ending was actually quite good. Since this was the first Sackett book that L'Amour wrote, I did not feel that the Sackett family reputation was as strongly emphasized as it had been in preceding books. I did think the author did a good job of presenting the personal flaws and weaknesses of the characters, rather than depicting them as
LOUIS L'AMOUR, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME???Answer: he's broken my heart with this STUPID AWESOME BOOK AND ITS STUPID AWESOME CHARACTERS AND ITS JUST PLAIN STUPID AND HORRIBLE ENDING. Uggggggggh.*bawls*TOMMMMMM.
I was in the mood for a western and in doing some research I read that this book was the best of the Sackett series. It was a very good book and I would have continued reading the series if the subsequent books had been based on the two Sackett brothers in this book. Apparently the remaining books are about a brother mentioned but wasn't a part of this book. It was fast paced and had all the elements of a great western novel!
this was the perfect break from a bunch of non-fiction. the audio version was beautiful and captivating. the storyline was simple, sweet, and classic. no deep themes or poignant metaphors here, but I loved it and I now plan to have a Louis L'Amour novel always on hand for whenever I get bogged down by heavier lit
