Synopsis

Rafe Caradec—gambler, wanderer, soldier of fortune—was as hard a man as the battlefields and waterfronts of Latin America could fashion, but he was as good as his word. As Charles Rodney lay dying in a dank ship’s fo’c’sle, Rafe swore to make sure that Rodney’s Wyoming ranch went to his daughter, Ann. In Painted Rock, Wyoming, Caradec found land for a man to love, miles of rolling grasslands and towering mountains. He also found that one of the most ruthless men in the territory had set his sights on both Rodney’s ranch and his daughter. But Rafe Caradec had given his word, and once he’d looked deep into Ann Rodney’s eyes, nothing short of death would stop him from keeping the promise he’d made.

My first Louis L'Amour. (My first Western novel, truth be told, unless you count some sci-fi quasi-westerns such as Mars -- The Red Planet by Mick Farren.) Won't be my last, though. In fact, as quick a read as this is--160ish pages, in dense typeface but relatively simple prose--I may make my next c......more

I continue on my journey to honor my late father by reading all of the books written by his favorite author, Louis L'Amour. This one, Crossfire Trail, had a unique beginning with our hero being shanghaied from the west coast and forced into servitude for a year on a ship. The hero eventually escapes......more

Crossfire Trail is fun western tale, full of rough and tough cowboys and greedy back stabbers. I expected this book to be simple and silly. However, it was an excellent, thrilling plot full of betrayal, loyalty, and nail biting action. Crossfire Trail has peaked an interest in the genre. I give this......more
