Very entertaining and relaxing book. The character are well defined add the plot has a great flow.Lance is the fastest gun but he is trying to pacify the two ranges that are in quarrel with their neighbor for putting up fences. He soon found out it was not about wire but about power. There was a gun battle and he was hit but he recuperated weeks later and rode back into the hills singing a song; I have a word to speak, boys only one to say, Don't never be no cow thief, don't never ride no stray, Be careful of your rope, boys and keep it on the tree, But suit yourself about it, for its nothing at all to me.

This L'Amour book was different in that it didn't end happily ever after. In fact, it didn't really end. It left it open for a sequel, which is out of the norm for him. But I have to say that it makes me happy that he didn't always do what his readers expected.Kilkenny is a loner. He had some education in the East but prefers life out west. No one knows where he's from or anything about his family. All they know is the stories they've heard about his gunslinging. And those are legendary enough to make men doubt them. When he shows up to help a friend avert a range war over barbed wire fences, he takes everyone by surprise with his unique approach. Kilkenny ends up on top, of course, but his adventures are far from over.
