商品簡介 |
| A man either chases his dreams, or he dies. Present-day ranch hand Charlie Lyles longs for an era before mechanization, when a cowboy's greatest ally was his horse. He remembers stove-up old men telling of cattle drives and stampedes and shallow graves in lonesome country with few fences. At a dollar a day, none of them died rich, but for a cowboy who knew no other way to live, maybe it was a fair trade. Society has pushed Charlie toward a conformity that he hates, but he is about to change the rules. Walking up to an illegal alien at a remote line shack in West Texas, he steals a horse, leaving a perfectly good pickup behind. ';You tell ';em, amigo,' he says. ';Tell all those hombres with their fancy equipment to just stay out of my world or play hell tryin' to catch me.' Track him they will, with a helicopter and radios and assault weapons, but they are headed into territory that hasn't changed in a century . . . and they are trailing a man born a hundred years too late. |
