While J.T. Silence is away at war, a man he trusts betrays him. When Silence returns, he finds his wife murdered. Now, he's out for vengeance-and he intends to kill Silas Brady for what he's done, no matter how long it takes to find him. A wealthy rancher, Frank Decker, buys Brady's willingness to use a gun. But Silence knows Brady can't hide forever, and when the man from his past crosses him again, he takes action.The killing of an entire Jewish family on their way to settle their claim, and violent threats against Silence's old friends, add up to more than a coincidence. When Silence discovers the plan the railroad has to lay track across the very land the settlers were killed for, he knows he has to see Decker and his henchman, Brady, dead.With only a young emigrant boy and Judge Henderson's apprentice to help him, Silence vows to see the boy claim his land his family gave their lives for-but first, he's got to kill Brady and Decker. And though SILENCE RIDES ALONE, there's a young woman who is determined to do what she can to help the man she loves... Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Millsted's book is more in the vein of my earlier viewing and therefore a nice nostalgic read. The book opens with the Nussbaums doing what many have done before, going west in a covered wagon. When the wagon is attacked our eponymous hero arrives on the scene to help Manny Nussbaum find out who and why his family were attacked.
"My name is J.T. it's just short" Silence has his own grief from past tragedy and when their investigations cross there is hell to pay.
Millsted does well to build the characters quickly, with a memorable supporting cast including a military intelligence officer confined to a wheelchair and a gunman in the Lee Van Cleef mould called Van Hook. Corrupted officials, ranch owners and their daughters, saloon whores etc. The plot whizzes along gathering steam until the final very memorable showdown.
This has everything you want from a western, and I highly recommend it (
