Ranger's Law: A Lone Star Saga

This book is a compilation or collection of three of the "Texas Rangers Series" Ranger's Trail; Texas Vendetta; and Jericho's Road. three good, solid novels featuring Andy Pickard. My advice is to collect these stories separately, if you are into collecting all of Elmer Kelton's novels. The size and the weight of this book is sometimes difficult to handle. And the pages open hard as well and the book is definitely stiff to open, especially when new. That explains the physical side of the book. The content is typical Elmer Kelton. It features characters we may all have met somewhere, sometime in our own lives. But being Texans they have that extra swagger--being bold, determined, and civic minded when the need arises. So, from that stand point I give this a rating of 4 out of 5. If the price is right, but it."

This book contains three Texas Ranger novels in chronological order with the same charactors. Very good reading. If you are familiar with Elmer Kelton's Texas novels, this book will meet or exceed your expectations.

I love his character development. Having read about 10 or 12 of Kelton's books I can say he is, in my opinion, the best Western author ever. I love the story lines and the way he develops and stages the story. You rarely know how the story will develop and the surprise is nice.

I read The Ranger's Law Trilogy before I went back and read The Lone star saga(the trilogy written first). This is the most well written and descriptive western I have ever read in my entire life and I believe that anyone who invests in this trilogy will have spent their money very wisely. The characters are great and after the first book in the series you'll want to read more and more about them.

Among the best character developers I've ever read, Kelton is a master in his discriptions. The stories lines are NOT predictable in a genre' that typically is. I will be reading more of his work.
