Martin's latest book is a classic tale of Western vengeance and redemption in the L'Amour or Zane Gray tradition!

The story opens with McBain traveling to the dusty town of Nemesis to avenge the deaths of his only remaining family; his sister,two daughters and husband who were murdered by minions of greedy rancher Colonel Mace Dillon.

McBain promptly hits town in time to foil a bank robbery and is rewarded with a post as sheriff. Using this front, he proceeds to hunt down Dillon's six henchmen with wit, bear traps, and a smart dog sidekick.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and found it to be written well and truly. Dialogue is sprinkled with vernacular such as "lucifers" (matches) and "critters" (any number of two and four-legged specimens).
