Reader Reviews

An exciting ride in The Silver Saddle and a hearty meal for the Western genre connoisseur. An adventure with a message in the safety of your arm chair.

My first Western novel and it won't be my last if Hundley keeps writing. Each chapter was a story unto itself and a persuasion to continue, could not put it down.

A five star Western.

A really good Read, great story.

The Western Genre returns. Would make a great movie.

Highly recommend- Five Stars- Terrific book- Would award it ten stars if I could- Did not want it to end.

A Western tale with plenty of action and surprises. Action packed adventure easy and fast read.

This was my first Western novel, I will be looking forward to the next book by Stephen Michael Hundley...
