Blurb: “LET THIS TOP REVIEWER TELL YOU ABOUT HIGH TENSION

"There is an old pleasure recaptured in the reading of William Wister Haines' books, a kind of simple enchantment that has had its counter-part. You hunt back ... and then you remember:

Hopalong Cassidy, the Lazy Y outfit, cowpunchers riding the range, that whole, tense, romantic man's world.

"Today, those lanky, laconic heroes live again as linesmen ... Haines knows every bit of the work they do, having done it himself, and he pours out their shop-talk as though it were sweet music, and makes us like it.

"Of course there's a plot... but the story belongs to the linesmen and they give it all the entertainment it has; escapist, maybe, but high entertainment."
