Helpful Score: 2

Good pacing, nicely drawn characters, evil villains, excellent action scenes, fine-flowing prose. This is the debut entry in a new series under the William W. Johnstone umbrella of books, and all the modifiers in the first sentence are great reasons to read this western. Set in an authentic historic period -- the great blizzards of 1886 and 1887 that wiped out a lot of the cattle ranches of the West -- the pseudononymous author of The Brothers O'Brien kicks off the family saga of a ranching dynasty with panache. There's pain and sorrow, joy, heroism, and humor. Recommended.
