BONUS FEATURE: "The Heart of a Western" explores what preserves the genre's relevancy for fresh generations of readers, writers, and movie-makers. "Peace at Any Price is an intelligent and finely wrought western adventure, told in the traditional pulp style ... character-driven, superbly realized, and highly entertaining. The story is near epic. Recommended for readers that love a great story told well." -Thomas P McNulty "Writer O'Keefe is a winner. Twists and turns so I never knew what would happen next, least of all the ending. Light-hearted Jim and serious Matt may start with a ranch together, but may not both survive the Civil War ... Ambush, fire, flood, shootout, escape, split, injury. Not in that order. Thrilling action. Western talk, morals, setting." - Anne Patkau at Goodreads "If you want a well-paced story with character, you can't go wrong if you choose a Chap O'Keefe book. His characters aren't all good or all bad. This is a human story about love, romance, passion, greed, betrayal and ego that just happens to be set in the historical Wild West." - Nik Morton, author of Write a Western in 30 Days
