Retaliation by Any Other Name
Ranchers and Farmers do not get along--Range War is always the result, because one side or the other will blame the other for some incident which hurts the bottom line. Dan Colley, ex-gunfighter, now turned rancher and married to a farmer's daughter, sought only to live in peace. Yet trouble found him out, and while trying to protect a neighboring farmer from Al Ritchie, the rancher "king", Colley is ambushed. That meant only one thing to Colley--the bushwacker had to be brought to justice. And Dan did, slung dead over the back of a horse. Still, that didn't stop Ritchie's plans to kill Swigley, and on the second attempt succeeded. Now, Dan Colley was mad.....Wade Everett AKA Will Cook never ceases to amaze me with the variety and the abundance of characters and locations of his novels. Rated as one of the ten best writers of "westerns" I have never found one I did not at least like. He never disappoints his readers.
