Customer Reviews

Arcane but very readable

The stories are about "cowboys" but not of the shoot 'em up breed. Rhodes' dialog is very entertaining but it assumes you are literate and can relate to events and terms out of the late 19th and early 20th century. The characters are likable and the stories move along. Really fun reading and it is nice to have so many stories and short novels in one volume. Good value.
