Diana Gabaldon's Reviews > Three Axes to Fall

This is the third book about Sal the Cacophony--a woman with a Strong (and Righteous) Grievance, and a terribly frightening (because it's alive and bad-tempered) Gun.

It's hair-raising, Very Violent and Extremely Funny. (With occasional heart-wrenching moments and snatched romance.) (In the interests of full and frank disclosure--Sam Sykes is my son, but I'd love the book even if he wasn't.)
