This is a cowboys and aliens novel. Space ships and six guns sounds simplistic
but as in all compelling books, the characters are what makes a book fly off
the shelf. Stern justice is served up
in this sweat, leather, courage and tech novel.
Jem Clayton is the anti-hero of this book. He is a lonely soul who wanders the desert of Seneca working to keep death from those
he loves. Seneca is a gritty world where
hard scrabble miners struggle to eke out a living digging out some obscure
mineral that appears to be valuable due to it’s scarcity.
The is violence, action and vigilante justice in major doses
in this western style scifi adventure.
Evil is pretty darn despicable and the protagonists lean more to
vengeance than justice. A simplistic
look at confrontation that takes nothing away from how enjoyable a book it was
to read.
There is a Doc Holiday clone, a Matt Dillion or maybe it was
Chester, a Miss
Kitty as the town Doc, pretty much a cast of characters you can recognize and
enjoy. A brutal but entertaining
book.
I recommend it.
