Billy Pinto's War by Michael Zimmer

Billy Pinto's War by Michael Zimmer

CRITICAL ACLAIM FOR MICHAEL ZIMER

Wrangler Award-Winning author of The Poacher's Daughter

-Rose is a beautiful composite of frontier women, some famous, some not; Zimmer's great strength is that he doesn't make his heroine anything other than an ordinary, decent woman who never had any luck. She falls so low she has nothing to lose and can become a pure spirit, and an avenger of the weak. Think of Luke Short for action and Ernest Haycox for his sweeping style. All westerns should be this good.-

--STARED Booklist on The Poacher's Daughter

-a straightforward, suspenseful western, full of border lore and Zimmer's amazing knowledge of firearms.-

--Booklist on Leaving Yuma

-The chase scene in the rocks, in which Wil and his sweetheart find refuge in a fearsome, bat-infested cave, is as harrowing as any you'll read . . . this is a fine western, full of amazing gun lore and agreeable horse sense.-

--Booklist on Rio Tinto

-Zimmer demonstrates again why he's one of the more interesting voices in western fiction. What could have been a simple, straightforward story about a boy who gets mixed up with some desperadoes is transformed, through a clever story structure, into something with unexpected depth. It's a very personal storytelling style--Roper talking directly to the reader--and, at times, we can hear the wistfulness in his voice, the bittersweet memory of a time when he and the country were raw, young, and full of hope and promise. A stirring tale, well told.-
