From Publishers Weekly Miles City's doctor and sheriff Santiago Toole, in the Montana Territory, has his first clue that a train on the Northern Pacific railroad has been robbed when masked bandits take him at gunpoint to treat a wounded accomplice. After treating the man, Santiago escapes easily, only to learn that the robbery's victim may offer the greatest impediment to bringing the robbers to justice. Gold-mine owner Ingmar Drogovich, whose shipment of gold bullion was stolen and his daughter, Filomena, taken hostage, has a good idea of the who and the why of this robbery; he also has the wealth and influence to bring in his own "private army" and try to hamper Santiago's investigation. Wheeler ( Deuces and Ladies Wild ) cuts into the suspense by revealing details of the robbery early on and seems determined--to the point of didacticism--to let us know whose behavior is good and whose is bad (as in a reference to one of the robbers as "Angus the Righteous"p. 64 ). However, the Drogoviches make a spicy enough pair: Ingmar is greedy, amoral and criminally dishonest, while Filomena, toting only a sharp intellect and sharper tongue, has her armed captors completely outgunned.

From AudioFile For Western fans who like all the sound effects and character voices in their listening adventures, Richard Wheeler's tale of The Fate, a famous gold mine, is a must. Launching into fast-paced action from the start, a host of outlaws and lawmen race through a dandy plot of intrigue and deception. Tom Vorce's rich, deep voice is great with the accents of the Irish doctor-cum-sheriff, the unscrupulous owner of the mine and the various others. Vorce can also present highly credible women's voices which have a good deal of range. A presentation with lots of entertainment. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good writing, good plot, good characters, lousy ending, but easy ready and it kept me interested! By Norm Beavers I was motivated to read a Western by this author in response to his inquiry about other authors. I bought this book used, so he didn't benefit from my purchase.Annoying words began on Page 1 and here are a few that bothered me:Calcimined cottage: one whitewashed with calcimine. big word of little value.Steam cars: I don't know where this originated, but it seems they are just passenger cards pulled by a steam engine. Seems more English than American?Telegraph Morse code? Dits and Dahs in the 19th century: Hardly, it would require an audio signal. But he got it right a few pages later and referred to clicks and clacks. I guess it was mostly clicks with spacing (I heard a sounder once as a demonstration, but I learned Morse code in the military with real dits and dahs and have used it ever since as an Amateur (Ham) Radio Operator).Mulcted passengers: WOW! someone stole their valuables! Do masters of the English language really read Westerns?Gumbo: its not mud; it's made from the okra vegetable (never ate it!)portmanteau: A bag would have been more fitting?But the reason for only 3 Stars: a book of fiction without justice for victims smacks of liberalism and the really evil individual in this plot went free. The only thing he was guilty of was kidnapping, and even that was ignored. Not a very satisfying ending. A nice sentencing turnaround by the judge, but this is a story without a real ending. The real crime was ignored. Louis L'Amour would never be guilty of such nonsense!Norm
