Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. Western A Western with all the tropes. I like this one because the plot is a little different. A rancher is trying to protect his land from a rogue businessman who wants to log off all the timber. There's some environmental sensibility which one doesn't expect in a Western, as the rancher is aware that cutting all the trees would ruin the land for the future. The businessman doesn't care about the future, but is only interested in short-term profit. As always, L'Amour is good at description and he treats the women in his stories with respect.

Backing Devitt are shady politicians, a dishonest banker, and fifty of the toughest lumberjacks in the county. But as Colleen Riley, Devittâ??s fiancée, realizes the brutal game heâ??s playing, her disapproval of his actions, and Clay Bellâ??s obvious integrity and charm, pull her toward a destiny that will tip the scales in their bloody battle over timber No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
