In the Confederate army, Billy Blue saw his share of dying and did his share of killing.

And when Billy Blue fights, it's war all over again...

Customer Reviews

Great book about the Old West

Thompson has hit the bullseye. This is a very believeable and exciting novel. A true dipiction of living and dying by the gun in the Old West. I hope to see more books from J. M. Thompson!

A great story and Billy Blue is great character

This is one of the best Westerns in years. Billy Blue is a believable character. The story is very realistic and true to the time frame. Is this J.M.Thompson's first book? Don't recall seeing the name before. Hope he writes more!
