Devil's Tower

Le train du diable

Rate this book
   L'horreur de la guerre de Sécession a fait éclore un chaos de talents surnaturels qui ont à jamais changé la face de l'Amérique du Nord. Sans un shérif doté d'un pouvoir efficace, aucune bourgade ne peut survivre, et la désertification menace les cités de la Frontière. À Medicine Rock, ce shérif c'est Jake Bird et la ville lui doit sa sécurité.
   Or le magnat de l'industrie Jay Gould, qui s'est adjoint les services du célèbre Buffalo Bill, a entrepris d'achever la première voie ferrée transcontinentale et Medicine Rock sera peut-être choisie comme gare sur la ligne. Est ce une chance inespérée? Est-ce une calamité? Car les rails sur la prairie dissimulent un projet meurtrier.
   Western fantastique.

Is it even fair to rate your own books? In any case, this is my favorite.

Sequel to Devil's Tower with Jake and a posse of characters saving Medicine Rock from the evils of Gould's capitalistic instincts. Actually, it is Gould's mad desire to regain power that causes the havoc, not capitalism, but robber barons always make good copy. Enjoy where weird westerns are read.

J'ai aimé La tour du Diable et j'ai aimé joué à Deadlands.
Lire cette suite est un passage obligé.
