The Squaw Men par Lauran Paine
Western
This book describes the German Abwehr, which was the German Military Intelligence Organization during WWII. Unfortunately, the book is rife with sketchy or incorrect information. The author also fails to document or footnote anything, so one is left wondering where he came up with the information that he does. I would read this book with caution.
This was my first book by this author. It was a slow start for me but ended up being good, similar to a western movie. Normally, im not a western book reader but this was good.
After the Civil War has ended, Dave Petrie, a young Confederate soldier settles in Spartenville, Colorado setting up shop as a gunsmith. One morning, a gang of desperadoes descends on the town murdering the baker, general store keeper and a few other men taking money and other valuables. When the town posse turns back, Petrie continues the hunt and manages to ambush the gang & kill a couple.
The gang goes back to town, kidnaps four women and leaves the message to send us Petrie or the women will be abused. Petrie and the local minister head out to find the women and the rest of the novel is about the hunt and the strange group of men who make up the gang of outlaws.
Fast paced and a very quick read.… (plus d'informations)
