Readers like this author's books
• "I recommend this book to any reader of westerners, well paced and exciting! Now i'm looking forward to another book by Glover."
• "One thing I don't do with a Voyle Glover book is bother with a sample. It would just be a waste of time. I'm a big fan of traditional westerns and his are among the best I ever read... To me a great book is one that engages me from the first page. I have to like or hate the characters, become fully engaged in their story and wish for more when its over."
• "Mr. Glover does a great job of creating interesting characters and unfolding them a little at a time. I will definitely be buying more from this author."
Men Bred for the Old West
By the time he was 18, Kyle Elliot was fighting Comanche raiders, the most fierce warriors who'd ever ridden across the broad plains of Texas. He'd ridden with Captain John Coffee Hays, in the Texas Rangers and learned to fight in ways most men never understood.
Being A Marshal is a Tough Job
Elliot is headed to a small, sleepy little town, hoping to serve as marshal, hoping he can avoid the problems he had in his last marshal's job, which involved having to kill several men, and getting in the middle of a range war. Now, he'd accepted a lawman's job in a peaceful town. It seemed to be perfect. But, Kyle Elliot would quickly learn that he'd need all the skills he'd learned as a Texas Ranger with Captain Jack to survive. The only thing that kept him from leaving was a woman. Kyle Elliot was in love. But, staying meant death, probably his.
As one man said: "You're the genuine article, friend. These folks, they ain't never seen a man like you, before. Latham, he's got some rough boys over at his place, but, except for maybe a couple of them, they ain't seen the likes of you before, either. Nobody in this town ever saw the likes of you, except maybe old man Haggar. He rode with a pretty hard crowd in his day. Some say he was close to Hardin. Latham, he'll hire whatever and whoever he needs to kill you. I say kill, because I know your kind don't run and don't back down. That means there will be some dead men stacking up here, soon. You'll win, at first. But eventually, he'll get you."
Old West Gunmen
A gunslinger in the Wild West was fairly uncommon. A cowboy chasing "cow critters" could be found throughout the Old West. In western books, historical fiction novels, or western novels, the western cowboys are always featured. Youngsters who were left home at hundreds of ranches by fathers and older brothers leaving for the Civil War grew up quickly, having to care for the cattle and chores on the ranch. These young men would earn the nickname, "cowboys." If you rode for a brand in the Old West, young or old, you were known as a cowboy. Stories were common on the western open range, and those cowboys told a lot of those stories over campfires. Many of these campfire stories have made their way into print over time. Some became great novels.
Western Fiction at its best
This is a western fiction novel of the highest caliber, an action packed adventure from Brevia Books by Voyle Glover, an author one reader said "reminds me of Louis L'Amour's books. He was my favorite when it came to westerns."
Voyle Glover is the author of several western novels, wrote his first western just out of the U.S. Navy and saw it published in Far West. His writing got interrupted by law school and a hard-paced career as a trial attorney litigating federal civil rights cases for many years. Glover lived for 16 years in Arizona and has roamed the state, ridden many old trails, and camped and explored much of that state. When he creates a landscape scene in his books, he's bringing to life a scene that he's gazed upon at one time.
If you like classic Old West tales, you'll enjoy this one.
