Product Description

Product Description

The hell called Yuma Prison can destroy the soul of any man. And it's worse for those whose damning crime is the color of their skin. The law says Chiricahua Apache Raymond San Carlos and black-as-night former soldier Harold Jackson are murderers, and they'll stay behind bars until they're dead and rotting. But even in the worst place on Earth, there's hope. And for two hard and hated inmates -- first enemies, then allies by necessity -- it waits at the end of a mad and violent contest ... on a bloody trail that winds toward Arizona's five most dangerous men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elmore Leonard is a master at Western stories, Sep 30 2003
By William J. Tennison (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

I have gotten hooked on Leonard's earlier works. His sense of timing and character development are excellent.

He is a great story teller. His subject matter is always plausible. He takes average everyday people and makes them interesting characters.

Forty Lashes Less One is a great story. Two prisoners, Chiricahua Raymond San Carlos and a black man Harold Jackson are in Yuma prison for murder. At first they are bitter enemies but the warden puts them in an experiment to see if a training routine of long distance running can be used for rehabilatation. And then the warden sends them after 5 mean dangerous men. The trail is rough and bloody but they are sucessfull. As soon as they bring these men in they tell the warden to kiss !!! . A great story, you'll love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great western, Feb 15 2003
By Sebastian Haselbeck "SebH" (Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Now guess who owns the rights for this book: Quentin Tarantino. Yeah, that's true.
And I hope he'll make this a great movie soon after Kill Bill (or Glorious Bastards).
This book is a nice epic western with great characters and potential for great visuals.
Leonard tells this tale in his style and irony. The characters are unique and the setting is new.
A great book, you should read. And maybe in a few years you can watch this in theaters as "The 5th or 6th film by Quentin Tarantino"...
