Book Review

I was fortunate to have my newest book, The Sons of Philo Gaines, featured on the premiere episode of the Six-Gun Justice Podcast, as well as having it reviewed on their blog. Richard Prosch, who wrote the article for the blog, had this to say:

“Michael R. Ritt’s novel, The Sons of Philo Gaines (Five Star-Cenage) has been described by western writer Greg Hunt as ‘a clever, fast moving Western in the Louis L’Amour tradition.’ What’s amazing about that line is it’s not only true, but the praise is attached to a first novel.”

He adds:

“Fresh, clean writing and a deep sense of place highlight the brothers’ solo stories. No mean feat since the narrative casts a wide net over Texas, the New Mexico territory, and Wyoming. Here, Ritt excels, adding just enough description to root the tales, but not inhibit the action.”
