Highly recommended. This story has the ring of authenticity about it that only Kelton can provide. Honor At Daybreak is set in West Texas during the oil boom of the 1920's. Honor at Daybreak represents a departure for Kelton.

The oil attracts drifters, swindlers and gangsters that quickly make life miserable for the town sheriff, his deputy and good citizens. Although Sheriff Buckalew represents a quiet strength that binds his town together, this is a book in which an entire community joins together to save itself. There is no single dominant figure.
