This is another one of L’Amour’s books that doesn’t feel complete to me because L’Amour took the easy way out, relying on a wishy-washy romanticism of the west and suspended disbelief to move events along. I wish L’Amour had taken time to build history around the story to remove some of the fantasy elements. I don’t understand how or why this kid, Gaylord Riley, feels so much loyalty to the Coburn gang. He hooks up with them, plays lookout for a couple hold-ups, and, somehow, the gang morphs into friends close enough to be family who want to help Riley to stop being an outlaw and settle down before the law catches up to him. Then, Gaylord needs to move cattle through outlaw territory and all the outlaws comply without giving him trouble. They pitch in and help, you know, because outlaws are known for being nice and community-minded (snicker). The bad guys don’t feel like bad guys until the latter half of the book and the bulk of the story plays out like a small-town soap opera set in the west, which isn’t what I expect from an action-adventure book.
