The Lonesome Gods, by Louis L'Amour

I wouldn't say I'm a big reader of westerns, so when I saw this at Half Priced Books, I thought it would be worth trying one.

Wow, did I make a fortunate choice -- and wow, this was not what I expected!

This novel held my interest throughout, with solid writing, plot and character development and a reasonable amount of suspense. I'd heard that Mr L'Amour is famous for his western fiction, and with this novel as an example, I'm not surprised.

Even if you are sure that a western is not for you, you might take a shot at this one.
