Western Fiction

Western fiction often tells stories of survival, revenge, and lawlessness.  The hero is a likeable loner who rights wrongs, then moves on to another spot.  The hero would rather use strategy to solve problems, but often is forced to use violence in the end.  These short novels may be slow or fast paced and often include detailed descriptions of landscapes and times.
