Title: Very enjoyable reading
Review: I love adventure stories, and this is a good one. I did not understand all the historical background but enjoyed the book anyway. L'Amour knows his westerns, but he definitely did a lot of research to write this book as well. I've also read Last of the Breed which is excellent.In the "Author's Note" at the end of the book, which was written in 1984, L'Amour notes that in school we are taught little of China, India and the Moslem world, but "they are now powers with which we must deal both today and tomorrow, and which it would be well for us to understand." He called that one right.
Is the review positive or negative?
