This is an enjoyable read, although I don't like my heroes to be confused, hesitant, and incompetent. I wonder how John McBride managed to survive the NYC battleground, which should be just as dangerous as the West.
Although the story could have had a more pleasant ending, liberal realism seems to be the guiding force these days. Regarding the final confrontation between McBride and the lawman, the instrument of death was beyond belief... Sammy, the orphan cat, would have been more believable as the savior of his benefactor!
