Sudden--At Bay (A Sudden Western #2)
“Behind him. Bob Davis stood, his eyes sweeping the bare plot behind the stable, gun cocked and ready to deal with any movement, any threat. Hight’s face fell as he saw Sudden’s leveled revolver.
‘Hell, Jim, don’t shoot!’ he managed.
‘I shore wasn’t expectin’ company,’ Sudden told him. ‘How did yu get here without bein’ spotted?’ ‘We built us a little fire in the saloon,’ Davis explained. ‘Throwed a few cart’idges into it, then skedaddled out the back way. Them Cotton boys out in the street duck...ed for cover again when the bullets exploded; and then they poured it in again, thinkin’ there was still someone there.’ ‘By which time we was in the arroyo that runs in back o’ here,’ Hight continued. ‘An’ here we are. How’s the boy?’ ‘Yu better see for yoreself,’ Sudden told him, still smiling at the ingenious method of escape the two men had used.
Hight crossed the stable and knelt down beside the youngster. Billy opened his eyes briefly and managed a grin.MoreLess

They were ordered to throw thei guns out, so they did, billy's one gune and Sudden's two. But why the hell did thestupidwriter not cause them to remember that there were 3 dead enemies at the back of the stable all with guns. . They could have still been fully armed and the enemy deceived.

This Chrisitan guy is one of the worst writers in your collection. \Amateurish beyond description, and with lots of false info.For instance cobwebs from stables are KNOWN to contain tetanus germs and would be fatal to put on a wound, especially in the days when they had no anti-tetanus sots.

Another odd thing I'd noticed is, that there was a very large stable, and not one time did I see written that there were any horses in it. Nor an owner nor hostler. Astonishing that with all the clever people in publishing that no one noticed any of the flaws i've mentioned above.Write Review:
