I've been reading some Westerns here recently. Just finished
this one. It was alright. For the most part it relied on an
irony of style similar to Wild Women, essentially a twist on
the standard plot line. And without that standard to guage it
against, it loses a certain amount of significance.
A note in the front says the novel is a variation on an
earlier one called The Hombre from Sonora. I'm not exactly
sure how much different it is. Good well-written prose, but
it didn't measure up to The Burnt Orange Heresy. But nothing
of his that I've read has measured up to that.
