    About this audiobook

    A woman sates her lust for vengeance in this Ralph Compton western... Waylaid by a pack of murdering outlaws, Daniel Strange's lifeless body is left dangling at the end of a rope. Now, a mysterious gunslinger is on the vengeance trail, packing Strange's trademark twin Colts, and answering to the same name. With fiery green eyes and a temper to match, he won't stop until every last man who killed Strange shares the same fate. And as each bullet finds its mark, his victims will die never knowing the truth: that Daniel Strange may be dead and buried, but his daughter is alive-and killing...

      This is a typical Compton effort actually written by Compton but it does stretch reality. The heroine is Danielle Strange who dresses in male clothing and ties on her father's two guns and goes on trek to find the 10 men who hung her father and kills them in fair gun fights. Besides hiding her female voice successfully for more than a year and only being 17 years old and thus slightly built, she must some how avoid taking her clothes off when with anyone in order to keep her identity secret. She does travel with several male friends at times and works on ranches as well making the masquerade even more difficult to believe.In the 306 pages of this novel she is successful except once when she is badly wounded and the woman who gives her first aid discovers her secret. Other than the plot premise of a girl dressed as man crossing through Texas and the Indian Territory killing bad guys in absolutely amazing ways, the narrative follows tradition western literature in that it is full of action and descriptions of life in the west. If the reader wants to read more about Danielle's life of chasing her father's killers, look for the second volume, The Shadow of the Noose.
