Glorious by Jeff Guinn

I went to the Barnes & Noble clearance sale last weekend, with a coupon and my educator discount.  This was one of the books I picked up $27 marked down to $6.

I'm glad I didn't pay full price.  What a let down.

The cover is beautiful.  The jacket description made this book sound so exciting.

It wasn't.  What should have been a non-stop, action packed Western....was as boring as an afternoon soap opera.

A man on the run from responsibility for the death of his (arranged marriage) special needs wife seeks out his long-lost love in a frontier town.  A rich rancher protects the tiny town from Apaches and supports the local businesses.  But then silver is found....

I was expecting so much more.  The details of Cash's life "before" were boring.  The climactic scene when he is "found" were far-fetched and bordering on ridiculous.  Then we are left with a cliffhanger to set up a sequel.  I won't be reading it.
