The book characters include a 23-year-old, 6-foot tall ranch hand named Dan Killoe, his dad, his step brother Tap and a bunch of other supporting characters. They decide to move their large herd west to find a new place to live, and travel through desert and hostile lands with maurading cattlerustlers, Comanches who have bloodlust, and others.
My Take- Usually I really like westerns, but this one was slow-going for me. I couldn't get into the characters. Dan, the main character, felt like he was always being told he wasn't good enough. It wasn't until 2/3rds of the way through the book, he had to take charge, but it still didn't grab me. If you like stories where characters lose almost everything, and then somehow get things back, this works. I honestly read faster to get to the end. 3 out of 5 stars for this one.
