Dove's (Personal) Review:  A fine collection of Western writers sharing some of their best short fiction!
     This anthology includes:

The Plum Creek Fight, by Dusty Richards
Time of the Gun-Wolves, by James Reasoner
Requiem for Lost Souls, by Randy Lee Eickhoff

In the Line of Duty, by Elmer Kelton
The Blue Burro, by L.J. Washburn
A Border Dispute, by Rod Miller
Dead Man's Gun, by Ed Gorman
One Hundred and Two Days, by Marcus Galloway
     I'm not gonna sit here writing reviews for each individual story. I don't have time to do that, and I'm sure you don't have time to read it, LOL.
     The book [in it's entirety] is a pleasure to read. I'm not a big fan of anthologies, but when I saw this one included stories by two of my favorite authors (Louis L'Amour, Elmer Kelton), I just had to explore it's pages. In doing so, I ended up enjoying all the stories equally.
     If I was forced to pick a favorite, I'd have to say it's "Ghost Colts," by Peter Brandvold. This one gave me chills! I think I'll have to give Brandvold's work a more thorough examination. He's a writer I've never heard of before, so I'm hoping he's written some full-length novels. I'll have to check the shelves the next time I'm in Barnes & Noble. He's definitely an author I'd like to hear more from!
     "Lone Star Law" is time well spent! TWO THUMBS UP!!! GOLD STAR!!!
