5.0 out of 5 stars
Sea Captain takes on the west,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Big Country (Mass Market Paperback)
Captain James McKay leaves the sea and goes west to claim his bride and make a new life. When he is taken to task by the locals, McKay quickly learns the rules of the game and makes his mark. This is Donald Hamilton action at his best and is not the typical "shoot-em-up" western. Great reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Better than I even expected.,
By Corgi Kid (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Big Country (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book because I have always liked the movie "The Big Country", and have been an avid reader of the Matt Helm Series, by this author, Donald Hamilton.
I anticipated a good, enjoyable book, but "The Big Country" exceeded my expectations. Everyone in the book was believable: I could understand why they behaved as they did (something that is not true in the movie, even though I love it!). As is usual, there were subplots in the book that were cut from the film: a pity, because those subplots were excellent, and better revealed the character of the hero, Captain James McKay. In some ways, I liked the book more than the movie. I recommend both, however.
