The westerns I like are more gritty and grimy. Morality is more gray. Stuff like Bodie the Stalker by Mike Linaker, Crow by Laurence James or The Guns of Sapinero by Peter Brandvold. |
For me it is the descriptive way he writes. His descriptions of the country, peopleand his knowledge of the times make the books come alive. I can actual;ly see the country and wish I was there. The first time my wife read The Walking Drum she was amazed at his description of the land at sunrise. It made you want to be there to see it.
