Title: Cliches fatally wound this Western.
Product review: T.D Allen's "Ambush at Buffalo Wallow" was originally written in the fifties. It tells the story of a U.S Army Scout named Billy Colt, and this one is laden with cliches. Let me count them off: Colt is a "street-smart" soldier with a "book-smart" know-nothing commanding officer; Colt's wife has been kidnapped by hostile Indians, and Colt has to break the rules in order to set up a small band to rescue her; a young and brash Indian(who are quite 2-dimensional) wants to have her and he goes after Colt; there's a traitor that happens to be in the rescue party, but he ends up in the same boat as the others; said traitor redeems himself(the old bad boy gone good routine). I do like the character of Amity Colt, but this is way too cliched and overdone to be a good book.
