The Lonely Men - A Short Review

This novel was another centered on William Tell Sackett. It is different from previous books in two ways. First, most of the action occurs in Mexico, not the United States. Second, the primary enemy is actually a Sackett – Laura Sackett, Orrin Sackett’s former wife. I say she is the primary enemy, even though Apaches and disgruntled gunfighters are Tell’s actual threats, because she is the one who sent him on a wild goose chase down into Sonora to save a fictional son of her’s and Orrin’s. Tell, being a Sackett, doesn’t even bat an eye in decided to ride into the Apache homeland to save this boy.

There wasn’t much new I took away from the book. It was a good read, though.
