A bit of a guilty pleasure for me. I didn't like I was all the time picturing them in the far west, most probably my fault :-). It's probably not the best literature, but entertaining.

The story introduces Ocean going Hal, and his first exploration into the mountains of Africa.

The story itself is ok, but characters are shallow, especially the ladies. All characters are horny as hell.
