#1 Bestseller"As the Indian slipped past one of the horses, he abruptly stopped and for an instant his attention was distracted. He heard a small sound and spun around. Directly in front of him loomed a dark figure and for the tiniest instant he looked into a pair of eyes--and in those eyes he saw hell. Then, the razor-sharp steel of Lopez' knife sent him there." They killed his friends, stole his ranch, and took from him the woman he loves. They branded him an outlaw, accusing him of the very crimes they committed. But they're about to learn that taking everything away from him has turned this Civil War veteran into the most dangerous kind of man there is: The kind that has nothing left to lose. Jeff Havens has a fast gun and a long memory--and he's back. RETURN OF THE OUTLAW has sold thousands of copies worldwide, making it a #1 Bestseller, and readers have compared Curtis to the great western authors of old like Louis L'Amour, Zane Grey, Ernest Haycox, and Luke Short.… (mais)

What were the main themes of the book? Betrayal, love and standing firm. Jeff is the hero that can survive anything but when he loses the woman he loves because ‘he is not good enough’ he retaliates. From start to finish, this book reminded me of the song by Kenny Rogers - Coward of the County.

What is your favourite scene? How does one choose a favourite from so many good scenes. The scene that reached out to me was when Emelia treats Jeff’s wounds. This is the beginning of his fight and it seems as if he is in the middle of a grey fog. The writer then expertly guides Jeff and the reader through an emotionally charged story with distinctive narration and superb writing skills.

Were you able to connect with the main character and why? Honestly, no. I was able to sense his loss and frustration but connected more with Anne. She appears to hold an important place in his heart and it is only when you get to the end, you realise how deep her ‘betrayal’ affected Jeff. The way the writer wraps up their story, wow. You’ll need tissues, I can tell you that much.

Which did you find more appealing, the introduction or the conclusion? The conclusion. The beginning was too dry for my liking. As Jeff moved from one stage of his life to another, something was missing. Be it the background, the lack of depth for some of the characters … But somewhere hallway through the book, things pick up and after that you don’t want to put the book down.

Why would you recommend or not recommend this book? I would recommend it to anyone who likes Westerns and doesn’t mind a dip in the pace here and there. This was more than a pleasant read for me and some parts of the story were simply breathtaking where word selection was concerned.

Did the book description relate to the story? The description wasn’t much and I would preferred an introduction to the key characters. However, I really liked this line in the description very much, “Jeff Havens has a fast gun, a long memory and he’s back.”
