Hit Back by Jeffrey W. Tenney

A mid-60s tale with a classic wild west edge, Hit Back is an action-packed and unpredictable ride, courtesy of author Jeffrey W. Tenney. Armed with authentic language straight out of a Wyoming cowboy bar, as well as a good balance between character development and gun-slinging action, it’s easy to get lost in this caper. The first-person narration gives immediacy and intimacy to the story, and Harlan’s voice is original, unpolished, and believable. An additional polish could strip away some of the unnecessary language, but overall, Hit Back is an entertaining, mystery-fueled adventure loaded with country charm.
