Title: An old favorite rediscovered
Review: My brother gave me a copy of this book more than twenty years ago. It was one of his favorites. It became one of my favorites, too. Over the years, I reread the paperback so many times that it literally fell apart. I was delighted to rediscover the Kindle edition.Don't be put off by the genre. The plot is much more adventure tale and character study than western. The plot revolves around the dynamic between the books' two central characters; the cowboy, a seasoned trail boss engaged to deliver a herd of cattle half way around the world, and the Cossack--a Russian officer assigned to make certain the herd is delivered. It is the interaction between these two strong me, who literally come from opposite ends of the earth, and their relationship to the men they lead which makes the tale.If you enjoy Jack London or Kipling's adventure tales, you will likely enjoy this book.
