Reviews“Shoot-’em-up action, bad bad guys, heroes cut from the cloth of classic Western heroes, true love, and the final resolution as law and order and justice triumph.� -KLIATT, "Hubbard uses the traditional Western form to tell a challenging and unpredictable story, where the hero outwits his attackers instead of merely having to outshoot them. In doing so, he also puts the spotlight on the consequences of a well-known historical event: one seen as positive on the one side but obviously not fair to everyone involved. ButSix-Gun Caballerois so intelligent and suspenseful that you'll not really notice the historical subtext until it's over."-Somebody Dies, Craig Clarke book reviewer, "Shoot-'em-up action, bad bad guys, heroes cut from the cloth of classic Western heroes, true love, and the final resolution as law and order and justice triumph." -KLIATT, “Hubbard uses the traditional Western form to tell a challenging and unpredictable story, where the hero outwits his attackers instead of merely having to outshoot them.

Obanon's lost his inheritance--a 100,000-acre New Mexico spread--and he could lose his life if he's not careful. A ruthless band of renegades have seized his land, and he's determined to get it back.. Obanon's got one secret weapon: his fierce intelligence. He can't outshoot the outlaws, so he'll have to find a way to outwit them.... Part Irish, part Mexican, Michael Patrick Obanon is as American as they come--crafty, confident, and cool under fire. It may be one man against the world, but before he's done the world will know how the West will be won. Ride a trail of fast guns and quick wit to the western frontier as Six-Gun Caballero brings American history to life.
