"Jesus on Horseback is the kind of writing that makes you sit up and say: 'Where in blazes have I been not to have read anything by John Reese before?' Nobody's written this kind of thing so well since Will James. It is a completely believable story of quite unbelievable events-- a Western for readers who don't like westerns." -- Pittsburgh Press Amid all the action, background, and flavor the best of Western fiction, emerges a powerful, simple, and moving saga of Christian virtue. Tested by violence, thievery, and lust, Rolf Ledger turns from gunman to Christian preacher, becoming in his violent trials, the man people come to think of as Jesus on horseback. Across this authentic historical setting ride the citizens of the American 19th-Century frontier, and while cattle, the railroads, guns, and crime often enter their lives, the central concern of this saga is man's responsibility to a force greater than even the tempest of the mountains and the plains.
