Not as good as other Haycox novels I've read. Too many characters, and the last third of the book is just a long description of a bunch of men riding back and forth in a blizzard looking for each other. I'm sure Haycox had a map in his head when he wrote it, but I didn't have one when I read it and had little idea of what was going on. Keene was an annoying character, more of an instigator than a typical hero.
