"Honor!' by Dana Fuller Ross is a gripping and action-packed western novel that follows the story of the Sacketts, a family of rugged and resilient frontiersmen. The novel is the third in a series of novels about the Sacketts, but it can also be read as a standalone book. The story is set in the 1870s and follows the Sackett brothers, Tell and Orrin, as they travel to Texas to claim a piece of land that was promised to their family. However, when they arrive, they find that the land is already occupied by a ruthless and powerful rancher named Cain Gillom, who will stop at nothing to keep the Sacketts off his land. The novel is a classic tale of good versus evil, with the Sacketts representing the forces of justice and righteousness, and Gillom representing the forces of corruption and greed. The Sacketts are determined to stand up for what is right, even if it means going up against a powerful and dangerous enemy. One of the strengths of the novel is the vivid and detailed descriptions of the Texas landscape, which come to life on the page. The author's love and knowledge of the American West are evident in every scene, and the reader feels transported to another time and place. The characters in the novel are also well-drawn and complex. Tell and Orrin Sackett are both strong and capable men, but they are also deeply human and relatable. They have their flaws and weaknesses, but they are also fiercely loyal and brave. Overall, "Honor!' is a thrilling and entertaining western novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. It is a story of family, loyalty, and justice, set against the backdrop of the American West. Fans of westerns and adventure stories will not be disappointed...
