Book Review: Another Fine Western
Summary: 4 Stars

This is another fine Western - a sequel to Appaloosa. This book is also based upon the typical Western story. A unscrupulous man wants to take over a town. This time Hitch is hired by him as his bar bodyguard. And, then Cole comes around to help Hitch. There is no law in town, so these two and two other gun fighters become the law. But, the man who wants to take over the town hires others who do have the morals. The killing starts, Hitch and Cole come to a recognition that they are working for the wrong man. And, from there the conflict builds to the typical Western climax. Although the book is not as good as Appaloosa, it is a good book and worth the read for any Western reader who misses Louis L'Amour. It appears that Robert Parker has a potential for bringing back the Western.

Summary of Resolution

The New York Times-bestselling author's richly imagined work of historical fiction: a powerful tale of the Old West from the acknowledged master of crime fiction.

I had an eight-gauge shotgun that I'd taken with me when I left Wells Fargo. It didn't take too long for things to develop. I sat in the tall lookout chair in the back of the saloon with the shotgun in my lap for two peaceful nights. On my third night it was different. I could almost smell trouble beginning to cook.

After the bloody confrontation in Appaloosa, Everett Hitch heads into the afternoon sun and ends up in Resolution, an Old West town so new the dust has yet to settle. It's the kind of town that doesn't have much in the way of commerce, except for a handful of saloons and some houses of ill repute. ?Hitch takes a job as a lookout at Amos Wolfson's Blackfoot Saloon and quickly establishes his position as protector of the ladies who work the back rooms-as well as a man unafraid to stand up to the enforcer sent down from the O'Malley copper mine.

Though Hitch makes short work of hired gun Koy Wickman, tensions continue to mount, so that even the self-assured Hitch is relieved by the arrival in town of his friend Virgil Cole. When greedy mine owner Eamon O'Malley threatens the loose coalition of local ranchers and starts buying up Resolution's few businesses, Hitch and Cole find themselves in the middle of a makeshift war between O'Malley's men and the ranchers. In a place where law and order don't exist, Hitch and Cole must make their own, guided by their sense of duty, honor, and friendship.
