– Jim Jones, Western Writers of America Spur Award Winner and author of the Jared Delaney and Tommy Stallings Series.
The Sons of Philo Gaines is a clever, fast moving Western in the Louis L’Amour tradition. Mike Ritt’s writing style is engaging, and his attention to the many details, locations, and historic ties adds realism to the story.
– Greg Hunt – Author of Backtrail
Ritt does a tremendous job of portraying continuous action and intrigue from the first page to the last—not all of it guns ablaze, much of it brainy—without falling back on trite, worn out phraseology. The quality and clarity of Ritt’s writing and delivery are truly superb. Readers will feel like they’re watching a movie.
– C.C. Harrison, NewYork Journal of Books
The author did a great job creating three brothers with distinct personalities, making the basis for what could be the beginning of a really good series. It’s well-plotted with a fast pace and many twists and surprises—a sure delight to western fans. The ending is perfect!
– Easy Jackson, Author of Muskrat Hill
The Sons of Philo Gaines by Michael Ritt is a page-turning, fun-to-read, classic western filled with viscerally satisfying justice that would do Louis L’Amour proud. Western reading entertainment at its best.
