""Tombstone, Arizona, during the 1880's is, in ways, our national Camelot: a never-never land where American virtues are embodied in the Earps, and the opposite evils in the Clanton gang; where the confrontation at the OK Corral takes on some of the dry purity of the Arthurian joust. Oakley Hall, in his very fine novel Warlock has restored to the myth of Tombstone its full, mortal, blooded humanity. Wyatt Earp is transmogrified into a gunfighter named Blaisdell who ... is summoned to the embattled town of Warlock by a committee of nervous citizens expressly to be a hero, but finds that he cannot, at last, live up to his image; that there is a flaw not only in him, but also, we feel, in the entire set of assumptions that have allowed the image to exist ... Before the agonized epic of Warlock is over with?the rebellion of the proto-Wobblies working in the mines, the struggling for political control of the area, the gunfighting, mob violence, the personal crises of those in power?the collective awareness that is Warlock must face its own inescapable Horror: that what is called society, with its law and order, is as frail, as precarious, as flesh and can be snuffed out and assimilated back into the desert as easily as a corpse can. It is the deep sensitivity to abysses that makes Warlock one of our best American novels"--Amazon.com."
"Conduits par Abe Mc Quown, des bandits sèment la terreur à Warlock, une ville minière de l'Ouest américain. Les citoyens décident alors d'engager Clay Blaisdell, un tueur professionnel. Devenu marshal, Blaisdell et son acolyte Tom Morgan rétablissent l'ordre dans la ville jusqu'à ce que les habitants commencent à se méfier d'eux. Adapté au cinéma en 1959 sous le titre L'homme aux colts d'or."
"Clay Blaisedell carves a place in Warlock for himself as lawman and gunman, but he is as much outside the law as the killers he is hired to destroy."@en
"The story of "the lonely life of a town marshal whose toughness acquired in his outlaw past served him well in his law-bringing role in the town of Warlock."--Cover."
