“Emozionante giro della storia”. Ralph Compton and Robert Vaughan are two of a few talented authors that truly know how thaumaturgy works. Historical, exciting, profound, and fervent, this novel is an amalgamation of a quick yet completely sewn up tale and genius diegesis.
Heavily inspired by Custer George Armstrong’s tactical blunder popularly known as “Custer’s Last Stand”, Clarion’s Call offers an adventurous revisit to Custer’s past through a different portrayal with lots of perplexing twists in every chapter just waiting to be found. Ambitious, archaic, and edge-of-the-feet work of fiction. Add up Compton’s flair in mingling history with his broad imagination and voila, we have a very good & balanced Historical Fiction novel. It caused me great enthusiasm and eagerness to learn more of the history of western life. I dare claim that this is an underrated novel——in a high degree.
Huntsville Times stated, “Compton writes in the style of popular western novelists such as Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey.” and I couldn’t agree more.
A well-deserved flat 5/5.
Cowboy hats down.

I really enjoyed the inter-play of storylines in this fictional tale about Custer's last stand. A good balance between action and character development.
