It's bad enough that while leading a wagon train through Arizona Territory to the boomtown of Genesis, Skye Fargo and party get ambushed by bandits. But when they reach Genesis, all that's left is a burned-out ghost town, thanks to a sadistic gang leader and his vicious but vivacious girl. Now, with a terrified pack of pioneers to protect, the Trailsman finds himself up against a mad murderer, and a woman sent by the devil himself.
Skye Fargo is hired to guide a small group of pious pioneers to Genesis, Arizona Territory, a small town that promises heaven on earth. Little do they know that El Oso Loco and his sadistic gang of fiends have put the locals through the flames of hell. Now the Trailsman must act as an avenging angel and offer El Oso Loco and his vicious girl, Senorita Diablo, a revelation of bullets and blood. This book moves from one bloody encounter to another with a speed that will take your breath away, each fight and death described in all it's savagery. The bandits are beautifully portrayed, Senorita Diablo in particular being a woman you wouldn't want to meet. The heat, dirt, and the struggle to survive in the harsh landscape, written so well you could almost be there. But one wouldn't expect anything less from Jon Sharpe, and for those who enjoy the tougher, more brutal, type of westerns, then this book is for you. Highly recommended.
