Durango Gold is fast paced adventure. Revenge, intrigue, holdups, murder, and gunplay all happen at a gallop. Eli, the defeated southern aristocrat, struggles to bring cattle to market as more troubles threaten to break him. First the knife fight leaves him wounded and vulnerable. Then the conniving governor blackmails him into becoming his personal gunman. Finally there are bandits and pistoleros to fight. From the beginning to the end of the book, someone is trying to kill Eli. Haley spins out the plots in the vividly described terrain surrounding Santa Fe. His western lore is vast and accurate. Haley writes great entertainment as he transforms Eli and the reader.
