"This a page-turner Western. The characters are somewhat predictable, but Trevanian is a great story-teller, and I didn't care. The ending of this tale is not what you would typically expect of this genre. I would advise you not to read the "list" of characters at the end of the novel. If you look too closely, some plot will be given away."
"A wonderful book; would make a great movie. Based on a true event. The survivors became best friends. Only time in the "old west" that a Chinese man was treated decently"
