This the first story in the saga of two families, Dean and Egan, drawn together by friendship as well as desire to give justice to the small communities in a raw Wyoming. They dealt it as it should be done, swiftly and surely.They had little time or patience with those who would take and waste lives of those who would strive for life in the harshest of environments.The Deans and Egans were epitome of hard work, endurance, and justice in the late1870s. — The authorThe Long Ride is a real page-turning western in the style of Louis L'amour. I can hardly wait for Mr. Thompson's next book. — Sam Warren, editor The Writer's LifeA real page turner. Never seems to end the action. Very compelling reading. — Father Williams
