The Renegades by Jackson Flynn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is like reading an episode of a television program, which is what this book is. I’ve not seen an episode of ‘Gunsmoke’, I believe, since it was originally on some 50 years ago, so the program has little effect of my view of this novel.
The story is a good one where circumstances pushes one too far and the results of this pushing leads to problems that involve Marshall Dillon. The resolution is wrapped a bit too simply, but sends a nice moral message.
The writing is far stronger than might be found even today on television and is the best reason to read the book. It’s a speedy book that the writer did a very fine job of keeping in the confines of.
Bottom line: i recommend this book. 7 out of 10 points.
