Ron Hubbard is a good example of Hubbard’s clever plotting, realistic dialogue, strong characters and brisk action. I think Hubbard’s westerns are underrated. All of them are fun to read, and he did try different stylistic approaches from time to time. The No-Gun Man is about Monte Calhoun who returns home to help his brother. But meanwhile the mystery of his father’s death still plagues him, and Monte has decided to avoid violence if possible. Hubbard makes Monte’s plight resonate and the ending is quite satisfactory. This edition includes the short story “Man for Breakfast” which has a slightly darker feel to it but remains entertaining nonetheless. Overall, all of Hubbard’s westerns make for some fun reading.

As a young man Monte Calhoun was as wild as they come, thinking the measure of a man was how hard he could drink and how straight he can shoot. But several years of schooling back East have changed him. Monte has become The No-Gun Man. The East Coast has civilized him, and he's bringing some of that civilization home to Superstition, Arizona ... even if it means refusing to avenge the murder of his own father. Monte's come back for one reason--to rescue his younger brother from this lawless land and take him back East. But out here in a land of frauds and outlaws and ambushes, a man's principles have a way of folding under pressure--especially in the face of gunfire. And Monte's no different. It's only a question of how far he'll be pushed before he starts pushing back ... with a vengeance. Also includes the Western adventure, "Man for Breakfast," in which the victim of a robbery will leave no stone unturned and no outlaw alive in his search for justice--even as he faces bullets, a hanging rope, and a startling revelation. Blaze a bloody trail back to the American frontier as The No-Gun Man shows how wild the Wild West can make a man. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
