Well, Mr Meikle has done the near impossible and made me enjoy a story set in the Old West (not a great cowboy fan). Last writer to do this was Edgar Rice Burroughs at the beginning of the first Mars story. Great mix of lost world, monsters and old fashioned heroism. As with all William Meikle books I've read so far, recommended. ( ) “The Valley” is an adventurous story that gets going very quickly and soon reveals itself as crafty little pulp-style novel that was right up my alley. Writing dime novels myself, this book couldn’t have been a better match, as its style so closely resembles the way I tell my own stories - or at least, I try. Concise, to the point without a lot of flourish, but instead with a lot of panache and action that immediately grabs the reader and pulls them along for the ride.As the cowboys in a rush to find gold encounter some strange creatures, they discover a hidden valley, filled with monstrous, prehistoric beasts that threaten to soon overrun the world. It is up to the handful of men to put an end to it and seal the valley back the way they had discovered it.The book has a wonderful premise that is set up very nicely with its Wild West frontier tone where young man are often using their guns instead of their brains to make their points. At the same time, it offers a nice variety of characters that make for a colorful cast, giving ample depth to the story.“The Valley” was a fast and fun read! “The Valley” is an adventurous story that gets going very quickly and soon reveals itself as crafty little pulp-style novel that was right up my alley.
