When Silas Van Loy flees home on horseback to avoid capture for his brother's murder, he is soon followed by both the police and his brother's wife, Lena, who is intent on exacting revenge. She reluctantly lets her trusted stable assistant join her in a journey across the wilds of Northern California in the hope of catching Silas for one final showdown. The story follows the chase and shares the story of the brothers' rise from hardscrabble childhood to their reign as the region's preeminent horse trainers, tracking the tense sibling rivalry that ultimately led to the elder's death. A fully realized tale that challenges notions of the modern West, The Last Cowboys of San Geronimo will satisfy fans of Kent Haruf, Larry McMurtry, Molly Gloss, and Smith Henderson, and it will establish Stansel as a new voice in this grand tradition.… (mais)

Well-done audio narration, atmospheric, with well-developed characters and interesting details about the unique lifestyle of horsemen/women. ( )

Silas kills his brother Frank in the first paragraph and then implausibly eschews his truck and makes his getaway instead on a horse called Disco, so that the novel can be called a Western I guess. Frank's wife pursues on her own horse and with revenge in her heart. Silas meets a bisexual. I liked the horse. ( )

Was a little slow/predictable at the beginning,I thought it would be a lot more fast paced since the murder happens quickly and the 'chase' begins. I liked some of the descriptions of the ranch/horses/surrounding area. ( )

Once upon a time, quite a long while ago, I was a young preteen who spent Saturday nights with her grandfather, watching Westerns on TV. Big valley, Ponderosa, and of course anything with John Wayne. Read Louis L'amour, just to be able to discuss with him what we read. Miss that time and that wonderful man tremendously. That experience instilled a love in me for that genre that still exists to this day. Westerns though are not as popular, have been n short supply, though in the last few years some are once again being published, like this novel billed as a contemporary Western.

Northern, California, two brothers on a horse ranch take over their dying father's property, differences ensue, and the brothers become rivals. Each with his own business, tricks are played on each other, some quite nasty, but they are each relatively successful in their own way. Why then after all this time would one brother kill the other and then take off?

Beautiful descriptions of the landscape, much horse talk as expected, and that I love, and lastly a chase, a journey and revenge. Classic Western themes, done very well. Brotherly relationships, extremely complicated and competitive. A simply story, hidden motives, and a starting conclusion. ( )

A novel that begins with the murder of brother by brother. Followed by Frank's widow, Lena, bent on revenge, in hot pursuit of Silas--on horseback. ( )
