Top 20 Westerns
Revisado: 01-20-25
I’ve read/listened to over 75 westerns and I would put this in the top 20. Unlike the standard western where the protagonist is smarter, tougher and more moral than everyone else, Hard Country is really 5-6 short stories about 5-6 different characters who are all flawed in different ways and none who are legendary gunslingers. The story always keeps your attention, lots of highs and lows and several “are you kidding me?” moments.

Triumphant!
Revisado: 08-25-24
This book does an incredible job of bringing the story lines from the first 4 McCabe books together. I was literally cheering during one particularly well written reunion. Extremely enjoyable.

Everyone believes Adam to be something he’s not. Sometimes that’s because he’s told them a story. Sometimes he’s told himself one. But when Adam joins an Alaskan fishing crew that’s promising quick money, the dangerous work and harsh lifestyle strip away all fabrications and force a dark-hearted exploration of who he really is. On the unforgiving Bering Sea, Adam finds the adventure and authenticity of a fisherman’s life revelatory. The labor required to seize bounty from the ocean invigorates him, and the often crude comradery accompanies a welcome, hard-earned wisdom.

Timeless, smart “Go west adventure”
Revisado: 05-12-24
The main character Adam sees the world in such a unique and intelligent way, his internal dialogue equal parts hilarious and genius. He is thrust into the dangerous world of Alaskan commercial fishing like a Louis L’Amour protagonist going west in search of riches. Caught between two worlds back home, in Alaska Adam faces an internal struggle that pushes him to the brink and ultimately reveals his true self. A brilliant debut by Riordan, his talent for language is undeniable and entertaining.

Every fall Tom Reynard, ramrod for the Bar L, had a hard time finding cowpunchers willing to work the winter range in the bleak badlands near the Sioux reservation. So when Jigger Bunts, an 18-year-old from New York who was familiar with riding and roping, happened along, he was hired even though his youth was a red flag to Reynard. To pass the time in the bunkhouse, the other cowhands spin tall tales for Bunts, whom they call the kid, about the exploits of Reynard, and soon Reynard becomes Bunts' hero and role model.

Not his best
Revisado: 08-10-23
Max Brand is great, this is not great. Narrator is really good. Story just kind of drags, could be half as long.
