5.0 out of 5 stars Death Rides a Chestnut Mare, August 29, 2000

This review is from: Demon's Pass (Sundown Riders, No.7) (Paperback)

I arbitrarily picked this book from a library shelf. It was refreshingly different, and it was reminiscent of L''Amour.Compton keeps your interest up throughout. His stories are varied and interesting. Lastly I like the use he makes of the historical background. Thus far I have purchased and read eighteen of his novels. They are not predictable, even though the themes sometimes parallel. Good western author!

DEAMON'S PASS is another exciting action filled western by Dick Vaughn, who is keeping the tradition alive started by Ralph Compton. Along the road to a new life the Stanley family is attacked by a band of Cheyenne. Parker Stanley is all alone after the attack and the Cheyenne take his sister captive. Along comes Clay Springer to the rescue. Clay recruits Marcus Pearson to join him and Parker in taking a wagon load of supplies to the Morman's at Salt Lake City. Vaughn's DEMON'S PASS is in the tradition of L'Amour and will have you turning pages as you follow both Parker's adventures and those of his sister Elizabeth. DEAMON'S PASS is a book you will want to read and not put down.

Robert (Dick) Vaughn is a fabulous writer. All of his books are continually encouraging you to keep reading page after page, there is never a dull moment. The story has something happening at every sentence. He does describe the trees, sky, mountains, people and events but he does it in such a way that keeps you so interested you just can not stop reading. Parker Stanley one of the main characters survives a family massacre by the cheyennes. He takes the money his father had hidden in the wagon. He meets up with Clay Springer who is taking 3 loads of much needed supplies to the Mormans in Utah. The two of them become partners and head out. On the way they encounter attacks by white men and by Indians. Another serious attack by the harsh conditions of snow and boiling desert. A non-stop exciting story.
