Beskrivelse af The Road to Reveille
A coming-of-age western adventure of greed, violence and retribution, THE ROAD TO REVEILLE explores the dangerous clash between a rugged old cattleman and a young Irish street thug on the streets of Manhattan. The story ranges from the rough streets of early 20th-century New York to the vast expanses and treacherous intrigues of life in Wyoming cattle country. Nineteen-year-old Tom Callaghan agrees reluctantly to leave New York for Wyoming to avoid a stretch in Sing Sing prison, accompanied by Will Sherman, the same man he assaulted. At Sherman's ranch in the Wind River basin, Tom encounters Will's headstrong daughter, Ellen, who instantly resents Tom as the usurper of her late brother's place. She is anguished with guilt over her role in her younger brother's death by a marked-for-death unpredictable wild black stallion, Caliban. Soon Tom finds himself facing the enemies of his benefactor, Will Sherman, in a deadly reckoning. (McLain's screenplay, based on his novel, was a finalist in the international Writer's Digest Screenwriting Competition).WESTERN WRITERS OF AMERICA, ROUNDUP MAGAZINE - "... a beautifully written novel with a strong sense of place and complex characters. A good read for a winter's evening." - 1st edition review of The Road to Reveille, working title The Reckoning.
