Silver City

A Novel of the American West

By: Jeff Guinn

Narrated by: David Carpenter

Cash McLendon faces stone-cold enforcer Killer Boots in an Old West showdown, in New York Times best-selling author Jeff Guinn's riveting follow-up to Buffalo Trail.

Cash McLendon, reluctant hero of the epic Indian battle at Adobe Walls, has journeyed to Mountain View in the Arizona Territory with one goal: to convince Gabrielle Tirrito that he's a changed man and win her back from schoolteacher Joe Saint. As they're about to depart by stage for their new life in San Francisco, Gabrielle is kidnapped by enforcer Killer Boots, who is working on orders from crooked St. Louis businessman Rupert Douglass. Cash, once married to Douglass's troubled daughter, fled the city when she died of accidental overdose - and Douglass vowed he'd track Cash down and make him pay.

Now McLendon, accompanied by Joe Saint and Major Mulkins, hits the trail in pursuit of Gabrielle and Killer Boots, hoping to make a trade before it's too late.

Slow Disappointing Western

Disappointing western that promised a lot of action but had more dithering and internal discussion than action. Each character had an internal monologue going over and over and over the same plan or options . That's a normal thing in my own daily life, but I don't want to read about it! The action was a disappointment too--less old west shoot the bad guys than a "terminator" thing. Would you go up against the "terminator" with fists? I know the author is trying to raise tension by making everyone seem incompetent, but just shoot the guy, for crying out loud!

repetitious monologue

I've never had a book piss me off so much as the stupid conclusion at the end with the killer, I'm ready to delete the book.
