Not being a Louis L'Amour fan and having read only one other novel of his ("Hondo"), I picked up this one for its reputation as L'Amour's only fantasy-plot story -- a fantasy-explanation of the disappearance of the Anasazi -- and was not disappointed. A modern Western, somewhat a mystery, mostly a fantasy, a fun story to read but not much afterwards to ponder unless one is inclined to give credence to the "Portal to a Parallel World" theme.
