Longshot Into the West

Decent enough writing it somehow misses that spark of magic realism by being too clinical in nature, like a police procedural. It incorporates the historical figures of Alan Pinkerton and a Sixteen-year-old Buffalo Bill Cody in a work of fiction. A trail-ride into the West involves dangers from weather, the terrain, unfriendly Natives, and wild animals.

A final attention to editing would have removed the nagging spelling and grammatical errors. The book lacks any ending of resolution indicating that it was offered for free to encourage further reading. The author is a gun enthusiast which does nothing to further endear him to this reader.
