Вестерны. Страница 7

Эпоха освоения Дикого Запада — одна из самых притягательных страниц американской истории. Но судьбу великой страны вершили обычные люди — переселенцы, двинувшиеся на новые земли в поисках лучшей доли. Главный герой `Одиноких богов` — обаятельный, рано повзрослевший Иоханнес Верн оказывается вовлеченным в круговорот захватывающих событий, где смешались любовь и ненависть, бескорыстная дружба и жажда мести, честь и предательство.

John Russell has been raised as an Apache. Now he's on his way to live as a white man. But when the stagecoach passengers learn who he is, they want nothing to do with him -- until outlaws ride down on them and they must rely on Russell's guns and his ability to lead them out of the desert. He can't ride with them, but they must walk with him or die.

На Диком Западе много отчаянных людей, готовых защищать справедливость с оружием в руках. Один из них — ковбой Кэссиди. По дороге в городок Семь Сосен он узнает об ограблении дилижанса, в котором перевозились деньги, принадлежащие владельцу золотого прииска. Один из охранников мертв, другой ранен. Пока Кэссиди ищет врача, единственного свидетеля преступления убивают. Ковбой остается в городке, чтобы найти виновных, несмотря на угрозы местных крутых парней.

New York Times-bestselling author Robert B. Parker takes aim at the Old West with this brilliantly crafted follow-up to Resolution and Appaloosa, again featuring guns-for-hire Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch.When we last saw Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch, they had just put things to right in the rough-and-tumble Old West town of Resolution. It's now a year later, and Virgil has only one thing on his mind: Allie French, the woman who stole his heart from their days in Appaloosa. Even though Allie ran off with another man, Virgil is determined to find her, his deputy and partner Everett Hitch at his side. Making their way across New Mexico and Texas, the pair finally discover Allie in a small-town brothel. Her spirit crushed, Allie joins Everett and Virgil as they head north to start over in Brimstone. But things are not the same between Virgil and Allie; too much has happened, and Virgil can't face what Allie did to survive the year they were apart. Vowing to change, Allie thinks she has found redemption through the local church and its sanctimonious leader, Brother Percival. Given their reputations as guns for hire, Everett and Virgil are able to secure positions as the town's deputies. But Brother Percival stirs up trouble at the local saloons, and as the violence escalates into murder, the two struggle to keep the peace.As sharp and clear as the air over the high desert, Brimstone proves once again that Robert B. Parker is 'a force of nature' (The Boston Globe).
