Hannah and the Horseman

I'm not a Western fan, but I read this author's first effort and put it down only when I had to eat!Johnny Boggs' knowledge of the West shows through. His striking descriptions have you dusting off your britches when you get up from the easy chair after reading.I cared about Pete and Hannah before it was through, and the villains are dastardly enough that you want to cheer whenever the heroes have a good day.

Good Westerns have plenty of action as the good guys and bad guys duke it out. Great Westerns have all this, plus a group of characters who make you care about who's standing when all the "duke-ing" is done. Boggs has crafted just such a storyline. As a Texan, I really appreciated the exacting detail of the setting. The author truly knows his history as seemingly tiny details add up to an "Old Texas" escape for the reader. This is Boggs' second book, and I'm eager to read his first one, "This Man Coulter." Try it, You'll like it. Two thumbs up! Joe Bob says Check it Out.
