I have read a few westerns about the lone man and it's interesting that a lot of western writers revolve their stories around lone men, which is definitely appealing. One such lone man who comes to mind is James Green alias Sudden by Oliver Strange. In spite of making friends on his adventures, Green is essentially a loner who is always on the move, mainly because he must find two men and fulfill a promise he made to a dying man.Prashant C.

Watching THE WIRE, I'm becoming aware of how that man can also be motivated by payback for past grievances. Which is even more entertaining...I like the covers, too.Ron Scheerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15357501069513854664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1169151311037688512.post-81834606713686071852012-11-16T10:39:19.564-08:002012-11-16T10:39:19.564-08:00You're welcome, Sergio.

I have been reading westerns for a long time though I did give them up for a while so as to catch up with crime-fiction and other sundry thrillers. There's a lot of variety in western fiction and never a dull moment. Prashant C.
