Stanley Gordon West’s standalone novels explore different settings and subjects from his Cal Gant series while keeping his focus on small-town American life. Blind Your Ponies (2001) is his most widely known standalone, telling the story of a struggling Montana high school basketball team that gets an unexpected chance at redemption.
