review 1: These short stories are great westerns in the Clint Eastwood genre. I am also reminded of the stories of the great Louis L'Amour.First paragraph of the first short story in the book.THE WIND SCORPION Each blistered step unleashed a flash of razor pain that snaked up his spine and bit into his throbbing head. Staggering ahead, the trail twisted for miles. Any hope of crossing paths with a helping hand vanished with the arrival of the afternoon sun's fiery breath. Water, he needed water. Straying from the security of the well-worn trail was surely a death sentence. There was no way of knowing how far he'd have to wander to find a stream, and in his weakened condition, without a gun, he was no match for the treacherous Wyoming terrain and wildlife. He knew he must stick to t... morehe road that eventually would lead to Vermillion, and hopefully, the men who left him to die. He had been escorting a prisoner, Black Jack Larson, to Cheyenne to stand trial for the murder of a circuit judge when he was jumped and beaten by Larson's men.Grainger, Edward A. (2011-06-08).

review 2: Well, it was different. I was searching my Kindle for a gritty realistic Western, and this was the closest thing I could find that appeared to fill the bill. It turned out to be a gritty unrealistic Western--more like a parody of Westerns, with seven very short stories, comprising a novella length collection about two tougher than dirt Marshals who had their own ideas about what constitutes justice. The content reminded me of a graphic novel without the graphics. The first story was pretty bad, but the rest were much better. less
