Hill Smoke

by L.P. Holmes

Book Overview

The little mountain town of Reservation had made itself a big name as a renegade haven where all lawmen were fair game.

Customer Reviews

Solid classic writing suitable for all readers!

What I enjoyed most about Hill Smoke is LP Holmes writing style. His heroes are noble and single minded, his youths are innocent, his old men wise, etc. This is the classic style of the action hero that we know and love, which reminded me of first Robert E. Howard, and also Edgar Rice Burroughs. It is also worth noting that this book is suitable to recommend to young readers. It is infused with respect for elders, law abidingness, and hope for a better world.There is a hint of romance but nothing less chaste than a stolen kiss, and while there are several fist fights, and shootings they are clearly described as the kind of actions either carried out by evil men, or to resist the same.Over all, highly recommended.
