Customer Reviews

Sexual politics on the frontier

The opening book of the Seth Strummar saga, this book lays out sexual politics on the frontier with no holds barred. An exciting tale of love and revenge, I relished every page of it.

For The Love Of A Bad Man

This is a poignant, gripping tale of a violent man and an experienced young woman trying to make their love work against the odds laid down by his past. Also enjoyable is the budding sidekick who gives up the priesthood to follow the outlaw. A great story, powerfully written.
