Fairy Tale Spotlight - The Lone Ranger on Powder Horn Trail [Book Review]

"The Lone Ranger on Powder Horn Trail" is a book written by Fran Striker. It was published in 1949. This is actually the eleventh book in the novel series. I don't normally read books out of order like this, but I figured it might not be such a big deal since I already knew a lot about the Lone Ranger outside of the books.

Solid story! The Lone Ranger is tracking down someone called the Arizona Kid for the murder of a Texas ranger. The only problem is that the Kid may actually be innocent. The Lone Ranger has to contend with his code and his vows to bring the Kid in for a fair trial while also realizing that doing so may get an innocent man hanged.

I used to see the Lone Ranger as more of a kid's thing, but this book was well written and honestly kept me wondering what was going to happen right to the end. There was even a sense of danger throughout. This was especially evident when a shot from ambush caused an avalanche that nearly crushes the Lone Ranger to death. All the details of this event was well described and honestly breathtaking.

I guess the reason I was scratching my head was that I did not expect such a gripping story from a serial book series about the Lone Ranger. But here it is! I am kind of interested in reading more. At the very least, I'd like to read the first one at some point. Either way, I recommend this one for sure if you can find yourself a copy.
