Code of the West by Aaron Latham
This is an epic tale, whose roots are as much in the legends of King Arthur as in the Old West. Jimmy Goodnight astounds a Texan country fair by easing an embedded axe from an anvil. The prize money enables him to establish a cattle ranch in an isolated canyon, taking with him a team who share his ambitions. With one in particular, Jack Loving, he forges a formidable relationship of complete trust, the bedrock on which Goodnight's growing empire rests. All goes well until Goodnight makes an unforgiving enemy, takes on an Eastern big businessman as a partner and falls in love with his beautiful daughter. Code of the West is a powerful love story, a sweeping adventure, a great 'Western' and a great example of the unexpected, unusual and highly successful novel which has sealed Aaron Latham's reputation.
