James Butler grew up in Texas during the depression era in a city with heavy Mafia influence. People were living on food stamps and coupons.

He's not your average writer. He believes in getting on with it. His view is: Everyone knows the sky is blue and the grass is green, so why waste time explaining it?

In 1957, he dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps. He was a combat engineer, that is, land mines and demolition. He then participated in the largest atomic bomb test ever conducted in the United States.

After the Marines, he married and traveled abroad. His wife of 54 years is his main critic. Charles Darwin and Ayn Rand are his favorite authors.

James Butler has been self-employed for most of his working life. He was in construction, cabinet and boat building and a little farming. He has seen life from many viewpoints. He has always been a writer, but never tried to publish his work until Amazon Kindle was brought to his attention. He didn't start writing for publication until well into his seventies. He and his wife live in seclusion in the mountains. He writes, she edits and they feed the wild animals. His books have been published in six languages.

(The author passed away on December 23, 2016. He is intensely missed by his wife.)

Two sides to a coin

I enjoyed reading this material and pretty much other books by Butler. They are always entertaining and help pass the time in a jiffy!
This was a tough story to read as there is a taste of bullying by a woman who's supposed to be a help-mate but turns out to be a black spider. But then the story turns into a tale of revenge with a western touch to it.

It was very well put together!

The story is gripping and the hero has some ingenious ways of taking his revenge which I thought were just stinky!
But they do accomplish the goal! Yes, Revenge is sweet but beware of the one so visited!

I enjoyed the ending as well, but kept thinking "what a maroon!" when the hero just couldn't tell right from wrong! or black from white!
You will enjoy the story and yes, it's definitely adult content.
Recommended for the fun of it :)

I thought the plot was pretty good- but I thought it was a bit gorey or went into a little bit more detail than necessary- more of an adult type book. I would say part of it were actually X-rated in my opinion.

Short not much of a story didn't make much sense. I was not pleased as it was empty no real storyline. Very short and no moral

I really enjoyed reading this book and loved the outcome. I will definitely be reading more of James Butler to see if they are as good as this one.
Some previews said they thought the author went into a little more gory tales as necessary but I think he did a great job in his descriptions.
Definitely a recommended read.
