John Shirley

    10 février 1953

    John Shirley crée des récits aussi viscéraux que stimulants, plongeant dans les ombres de la psyché humaine et les sombres possibilités de l'avenir. Son œuvre se distingue par une intensité brute et une imagerie saisissante, explorant des thèmes tels que l'érosion de l'identité, l'effondrement sociétal et la lutte de l'individu contre des forces écrasantes. Influencée par son passé dans la musique punk, la prose de Shirley dégage une énergie sauvage et un réalisme implacable, souvent brutal. C'est un écrivain qui immerge le lecteur dans des mondes débordant de tension, le poussant à remettre en question les frontières de sa propre réalité.

      In this exciting new Ralph Compton western, a man without a memory meets an unforgettable ally: the one and only Bat Masterson. Riding into the town of Smoky River on a mangy mule, Dane looks as broken down as his old mount. His Stetson is ragged, his boots are tied together with leather thongs, and he wears a Colt Army revolver with exactly three bullets. He wouldn't know what to say if you asked him where he got the gun, or how he learned to shoot it so well. He doesn't know if Dane is his first name or his last. Something happened that cost him much of his memory, and he can't remember what that something was. For three years he's been traveling the West as a cowboy, a buffalo hunter, a farmhand. Smoky River looks to be a fine place to settle down. If only his past didn't decide to catch up to him here. . .

      A cattle drive faces long odds in this exciting new installment in Ralph Compton’s Trail Drive series. An outbreak of hostilities with Comanches has disrupted the usual trail routes. But Mase Durst must get his cows from his Texas ranch to the railway up in Wichita, Kansas, or face losing his land, which the bank is fixing to foreclose on. He's forced to take his herd on a little-used route called the Red Trail—little used for good reasons. It’s a tough dangerous, narrow, and fraught with banditry. Along the way, Durst and his men face numerous obstacles thrown up by Mother Nature, cattle rustlers and crooked lawmen. But even their safe arrival in Wichita will offer no relief if he can’t make it home in time to save his ranch from the bank—and his wife from the predations of their rapacious neighbor. . .
