註釋In a new country, when the law hasn't yet laid its hands on the land, justice must be enforced by the individual-- the vigilante. In these stories by best selling Western author Bill Vlach, (The Guns of Revenge- A Western Inferno, Dusty Saddle Publications, 2018), family wrongs are righted by the gun, towns are protected by the lone gunfighter, the fearful find courage even as they face destruction. The eternal question of mercy versus justice is a daily struggle. In each story, the violence and gun play push the reader to re-examine not only their notion of story, but also their very idea of justice. An accounting must be made-- Western style, with a twistREVIEWThe author has delivered a Wild Western for these worst of times. Deceptively simple stories, but with echoes in the background of the author's erudite command of relevant philosophical, literary and historical references, they appear as a candle in the current darkness of our democracy. You will love the courageous characters living in those/these immoral (perhaps immortal) times of man's inhumanity to man, and the personal responsibility they take. The writing - sharp as a Bowie knife and impactful as a mule kick - can be savored like the best of Hemingway. A delightful short read that , with almost every sentence, flashes a surprise with humor and deep questions about good versus evil we confront everyday.- Dr. David Bullard, psychologist and clinical professor of psychiatry and medicine, University of California, San Francisco
