I grew up watching westerns on
television. I can honestly say that this is the first western novel I’d ever
read. It took me back many years. The main character, Morgan Kane is a Teas
ranger. He finds himself seeking revenge. While trying to bring a man in, he is
forced to kill him. The man’s brother and friends set out to “make things
right”. They know his weaknesses for women, alcohol and gambling, and they use
these to lure him in. After losing a very large sum of money in a poker game
he’s lured onto a train platform by a beautiful woman. Once there he is shot.
He falls from the train but doesn’t die. After he heals, his mission is to go after
the four people who tried to end his life. This is fast and steady in pace and
adventure. The characters are very believable. When I learned that this was
translated from Norwegian I was shocked that the author definitely knew what
the old west was like here. This is definitely a series to look out for.
