The war seemed far away at times but lately a group of men known as Quantrill's Raiders had been terrorizing the Kansas countryside. Even though Barney Todd knew these men were dangerous, he figured such a large band would be easy to spot and avoid. What he really worried about were renegade Kiowa who had been seen wandering far afield from their usual hunting grounds. But a driver never has much choice. His job is to take the stage to its appointed destination and arrive with passengers and mail intact. Barney knew how to do that and had his trusted friend Sun Qi to help. On this trip, Barney encounters more obstacles that he wants to see. With a rookie shotgun and some tenderfoot passengers, he must face the dangers of a land where the best shots and the fastest horses decide what law and order will be.

Stephanie Jane recenzis Incident at Diamond Springs de Kendall Hanson

A fun prequel

3 steloj

I bought this short story in 2017. A Western, it accompanies Kendall Hansen's Fat Jack and Farr Gunn series and, at the time of purchase, I had enjoyed reading two of those novels. Then I got distracted by other books and Incident At Diamond Springs has languished on my Kindle until now! It predates the main series by several years and briefly tells how one of the main characters, Farr Gunn, came to be alone in the West. I think I benefited from already knowing future events and relationships because this story is a quick action tale. There's a galloping stagecoach and marauding Cheyenne Indians, but not a lot in the way of literary descriptions or character development! That said, I could easily envisage roles such as the matriarchal Mrs Rutledge and the novice shotgun rider Willy. As an accompaniment, this story is a fun read, but if you haven't …

As an accompaniment, this story is a fun read, but if you haven't read Hansen before it's probably best to start at the series' beginning with The Bordello Kid.
