Synopsis:
|
Tell Sackett has a bagful of gold and some unknown people on his trail. In some little town he helps out a damsel in distress and ends up shot, robbed and without water in the Mojave Desert.
Being
a Sackett, that's not enough to kill him. So he sets out after his
assailaints. He catches up with the Damsel in Distress and finds out
there is a lot more to her than he first thought. He gets involved
with an old Mexican Pirate who fought his granddaddy and tracks down
the man who has his gold. Only to find that another Sackett is acting
as his bodyguard.
But
since blood is thicker than gold, both Sacketts do the right thing
and lots of badguys die and they head off into the sunset.

My
Thoughts:
|
This
felt very disjointed. In the previous book Tell was all setup to get
hitched and settle down and now in this book he's out and about and
getting involved with another woman? It kind of gets explained, but
at first I didn't even realize I was reading about the same character
as in Sackett.
Everything felt
that little bit off for the whole book so it was hard to get into the
flow of things like the previous books. I would almost say that this
was a “commitment” book on L'Amour's part to fulfill a publishing
contract more than an actual story. It just didn't have that same
feel. I know that's not very helpful to anyone who hasn't read it but
that's my take away from it.
I hope the next one
is a little more of what I expect.
★★★☆☆
