A dusty frontier town, a rancher deep in debt, the single mom who runs the general store, a lone stranger with a mysterious past, and savages on the warpath. Sounds like a Western but this is actually a Star Wars novel. The author notes that he was challenged to write a Star Wars Western and he succeeded. The familiar Western tropes are all here and they don't seem out of place on the frontier of Tatooine. The one thing that does seem out of place is the characterization of Obi Wan (Ben) Kenobi. In several places, he gets flustered and that just seems out of character from what was seen of him in all the Star Wars movies. Still, if you can get past this, the book moves fast and is fun.
