Customer Reviews

"Like new" was definitely not like new

Only complaint I have about this book is that when I ordered it it was described as being like new and when I received it, it was in pretty rough shape

Autumn of the Gun

Great product but was very upset that I ordered two books from the same company and they where mailed to me seperate so I had to pay seperate shipping.

A good book

I liked this Ralph Compton book except that the dialogue once in a while seems rather hokey and Compton displays no knowledge of clothing and gun and gun leather detail from the Old West. I can live with those details, but I'll tell you one thing: if you want to talk Louis L'Amour and Ralph Compton, you have come nowhere near the surface. The best western writer out there is Kirby Jonas, whom critics call the New Louis L'Amour. If you want some reading without equal, try Kirby Jonas.

Compton out does himself once again ! ! !

The continuing saga of Natan Stone and the beginning of Wes, is one of the most gripping Novels I've ever read. I've been reading Louis LaMour all my life and have just begun to read Ralph Compton, but Compton can match Louis page for page. Ralph Compton shows wonderful knowledge and understanding of the west and it's way of life. You feel as if you're on the trail with them.
