Another winner!
This, the second Maggie O’Bannon tale, kicks off where the first one (Days of Evil) ended. Maggie and her side-kicks (Doc, Rick, and Leo) are heading back to Maggie’s hometown to uncover the truth about her kidnapping all those years ago.
It’s another winner, and just like the first volume, is a non-stop roller-coaster of relentless action, gun-play, fist-fights, knife-fights, and double-dealing. Maggie spends a bit more time off-stage in this one, and it’s her cohorts, especially Rick and Doc, who - alongside the wonderful Sheriff Ben Anderson - drive the story onwards. But Maggie’s there, of course, for the big finale.
There’s a great mystery underpinning this episode, and the violence is toned down somewhat from the first volume. It makes for a nice style of western that is both traditional and a little different.
I look forward to seeing what Maggie does next.
Recommended!
