Billy Tumult

Yet another honest-to-god western in the very same collection! In a bit of a westworld sort of a vein, as i recall. This story started off a a somewhat higher rating, then eventually ran downhill a bit rating-wise. Nick Harkaway is definitely an interesting talent - although this story suggests that he might have a slightly deranged perspecitve.

My rating system starts with a rating of one star for a story/novel that I ranked "C -". Ratings move up 1/2 star with each step, up to 5 stars (equivalent to a ranking of A+). I reserve 1/2 star for works rated D and lower.
