Wow. Where to begin? Louis L'Amour has NO BUSINESS whatsoever writing a lame-duck "western" with some sci-fi flavor thrown into the mix. I'll admit it, they got me with the premise-- Mike Raglan, a man with experience debunking fraudsters, is contacted by an old friend who goes missing in an alternate world, but because they're talking Native American history and Arizona, I'm thinking it'll be a little more western/spiritual than most of the claptrap masquerading as science-fiction.
Nope. Same old stereotypes:- tech geek in trouble- gorgeous and/or frigid and/or angry women- "Let's go in there guns blazing!"- red herrings that are only red herrings if you're a total idiot- figuring your culture/time has to be more advanced than the one you're visiting, thereby making you WAY smarter (er, no)- allies who are probably from The Dark Side, Luke, so watch yourself.
