Product Description

Ty Butler came from Eastern wealth—but killers destroyed everyone who shared his name. Seeking a safe haven in the open West, he's found a home among the outlaws, tinhorns, and fugitives who gather at the gaming table. His skill at reading faces and cards has kept Butler in the money—and it's kept him sharp and ready . . . for the assassins who're hunting him down.

Working his way to Dodge City, Butler finds the town in an uproar. A new law's in charge here where Bat Masterson carved his legend—old, powerful, and dangerous grudges are about to explode—and Ty Butler's caught right in the middle. When the gunsmoke clears, he'll have friends and enemies in all the wrong places. And to make it out of Dodge alive, he'll need all the aces he can get his hands on.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much to it, but still fun, December 11, 2007
By 
This is a pretty standard western, with some interesting color, name dropping of famous gunslingers, and not much else. There is little character development, the plot meanders, and it all seems to tie into a series of mysteries that barely resolve by the time the novel is over. However, the writing is clean, the occasional gunfights are brisk, and descriptions of the poker games are surprisingly fun.

I don't know if this is true in his other novels, but the whole book is written in short sections of one to three pages, making is a quick read. The Gamblers is an enjoyable way to pass a few minutes here and there. Certainly not great, but I'll probably pick up the sequel if I find it.
