This was better than I thought it was going to be. Was quite a good read considering and I became more interested in the characters than I thought I was going to be. I might even review it for my blog although I wasn't originally intending to.
Anyway - pulp western over.
Next up is a novella for my review blog. This one is called
The Speed of Winter by B. Morris Allen. Any story that starts with the following lines is going to grab my attention:
Quote:
The average speed of winter is five meters per second in the steppe and in the desert, but only two meters per second in the valleys. When I first read those words, I was in the high plains of my life, had I but known it, and winter was approaching at great speed. Now I am grey and cold, and winter drags on interminably as I wander the pale, silent valleys of this base.

I hope the rest of the novella is as good as this opening.
