This review is from: Sam Chance (Hardcover)

If you don't want to choke in the dust, freeze in the rain, dodge bullets, or risk your life riding herd on ornery cattle for a thousand miles, stay clear of this epic tale. Benjamin Capps will drag you right into the middle of the action.

Sam Chance will not compromise his principles, so you find yourself rooting for a cattle baron ruthless enough to do what it takes to get the job done. In this historical western novel that reads like a fictional biography, Sam Chance has the guts and grit Old West heroes were made of. I've read hundreds of Westerns, none better than Sam Chance. My ambition is to write as well as Benjamin Capps.
