Retribution — Bill Shuey

Retribution is a true-to-life western tale about the quest of one man who suffers the loss of his family at the hands of murderers and how he responds to the task of finding the killers and bringing them to justice. Most western books have a few pages of significant information, dialogue, and action; the remainder of the novel is typically needless fill. Retribution breaks from this cookie-cutter mold and presents a fast moving, believable rendition of one man's fulfillment of what he believes to be his honor bound duty. Each and every page has some action, interesting dialogue or events, or western history. Retribution contains a smattering of real life western characters that lived or traveled in the area where the story is told, and are blended into the storyline along with fictitious individuals. The central bad guys are all fictitious but no doubt resemble some of the cutthroats and killers who lived during the late 19th century in the rough and tumble environment of the old west. If you like a true to life story with a setting in the old west, Retribution is the book for you.
