David Hamilton Knihy

Souboj dvou známých postav z Divokého západu.

Nejdramatičtější údobí dějin Spojených států - občanská válka Severu proti Jihu - bylo plné událostí, které si s tragičností doby nezadají. David Hamilton ve svém románu využívá krvavé výpravy Quantrillovy bandy k představení Buffala Billa, bojovníka za svobodu, a jeho přítele Williama Hickoka, šerifa a postrachu desperátů. Tito dva hrdinové mají za úkol "odstranit" Quantrillovu bandu, která terorizuje oblasti věrné vládě Unie a znesnadňuje postup federálních vojsk. Během akce se z nich stávají lovená zvěř, když Quantrill vyhlásí odměnu tisíc dolarů na hlavu slavného scouta Williama Codyho. Tato částka láká mnohé a může přivést Indiány na válečnou stezku. Buffalo Bill, pronásledovaný Quantrillovými lidmi, musí bojovat proti nepřátelům a nástrahám, aby si zachoval život a splnil úkol. Bez prozrazování detailů, které by ubraly na dobrodružství a překvapení, lze říci, že tato kniha patří k nejzdařilejším vyprávěním Davida Hamiltona, považovaného za jednoho z nejlepších autorů westernu.

V románu plném napínavého děje se oba legendární hrdinové amerického westernu setkávají ke konečnému zúčtování. Kniha není čistým westernem, je vyprávěna způsobem, která má blíže k detektivnímu románu a navíc upoutá i zasvěcenou znalostí dobových reálií.
