Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. x Slightly different take on the usual Nester vs. Cattle Baron plot, with enough action and less introspection to keep the reader happy. I also really enjoyed the addition of Eddie Holt, who had an interesting background and more dimension than is common in this genre. I might just keep this one for another read later on. One of the few Westerns I've read with a strong secondary character who is a Black man. L'Amour treats this character respectfully. He is referred to as a 'boy' but so are other characters who are white. I see that another reviewer says the 'n' word is used. My edition uses the word Negro. It does not appear to be perjorative but is used to describe the character. L'Amour's heroes are always hard-working, honest men who do what they feel is right. The landscape is beautifully described. The story is one of rustling and murder, with some interesting twists along the way. L'Amour knows his history, knows the country, and is a good storyteller. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Barnabus Pike is no gunfighter and not much of a street fighter. Eddie Holt is a black boxer in a white man's world. They've both taken their share of hard knocks. Now they're looking to survive a brutal winter in a remote Montana line shack, collect their pay, and settle down for good. Then they cross paths with a hardworking Irish immigrant and his beautiful, spirited sister, who've been burned off their land. It's a fight Pike and Holt don't want, don't need, and don't dare turn their backs onâ??especially when one of the perpetrators might be one of Pike's old friends. Hunted like animals across the frozen countryside, Pike and Holt will risk everythingâ??including their reputations, their dreamsâ??and the Ingen biblioteksbeskrivelser fundet. |
