From Publishers Weekly

Parker applies his customary vigor to this sequel to Appaloosa (2005), in a sparse, bullet-riddled rumination on law and order, friendship and honor. Narrator and hired gun Everitt Hitch takes a job as lookout in Amos Wolfson's Blackfoot Saloon and, in short order, guns down local upstart Koy Wickman and stands up for the town's beleaguered prostitutes. Without fully intending it, he creates a haven of orderliness amid the chaos of sheriff-less Resolution. But larger forces are at work as Eamon O'Malley, competing with Wolfson for control of Resolution, hires freelance thugs Cato and Rose to replace Wickman. Lest Everitt end up outnumbered, his old friend Virgil Cole turns up just as Wolfson and O'Malley amass armies for a decisive battle. Wolfson's army turns out to be the more unsavory and dishonorable, winning the day against O'Malley—but Virgil, Everitt, Cato and Rose are prepared to settle things the honorable way. Though the plot meanders its way to a too-fast climax, Parker's dialogue is snappy and his not-a-word-wasted scenes suit this Spartan western. (June)

Product Description

The New York Times—bestselling author's richly imagined work of historical fiction: a powerful tale of the Old West from the acknowledged master of crime fiction.

I had an eight-gauge shotgun that I'd taken with me when I left Wells Fargo. It didn't take too long for things to develop. I sat in the tall lookout chair in the back of the saloon with the shotgun in my lap for two peaceful nights. On my third night it was different. I could almost smell trouble beginning to cook ... ."

After the bloody confrontation in Appaloosa, Everett Hitch heads into the afternoon sun and ends up in Resolution, an Old West town so new the dust has yet to settle. It's the kind of town that doesn't have much in the way of commerce, except for a handful of saloons and some houses of ill repute. Hitch takes a job as lookout at Amos Wolfson's Blackfoot Saloon and quickly establishes his position as protector of the ladies who work the backrooms—as well as a man unafraid to stand up to the enforcer sent down from the O'Malley copper mine.

Though Hitch makes short work of hired gun Koy Wickman, tensions continue to mount, so that even the self-assured Hitch is relieved by the arrival in town of his friend Virgil Cole. When greedy mine owner Eamon O'Malley threatens the loose coalition of local ranchers and starts buying up Resolution's few businesses, Hitch and Cole find themselves in the middle of a makeshift war between O'Malley's men and the ranchers. In a place where law and order don't exist, Hitch and Cole must make their own, guided by their sense of duty, honor, and friendship. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

2.0étoiles sur 5 Deadwoody, Nov. 28 2008
Par Pol Sixe "hpolvi" (Thornhill, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Resolution (Hardcover)
Where to start? Well how about some technical details - 75 Chapters in just under 300 pages, just under 4 pages per chapter and it's obvious in the short choppy scenes. Easier to edit out for the movie script? Even the cowboy talk is too terse. Stylistically this is much closer to a "Deadwood" screenplay than a Louis L'Amour novel or Jimmy Stewart movie. In case anyone was wondering. The white hats, Everett and Virgil, are not above pre-emptive kill shots and cuckolding the local homesteaders. They do spend some time talking about who and what they are. Everett seems to have fallen far from his oft-quoted West Point education, surely they taught more than military strategy even in the 1800s? On a progressive scale, Resolution does move the characters a bit farther from the Spenser/Hawk clones they were in Appaloosa, but still this is a weak overall production.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Civil Killers Amid Battles for Control, Jui 17 2008
This review is from: Resolution (Hardcover)
Resolution is the second in what appears to be the start of a series of western novels featuring gunmen and sometime lawmen, Everett Hitch and his friend Virgil Cole. The first book is Appaloosa which you should read before Resolution. In Appaloosa you will learn a lot about these two characters that will make Resolution much more interesting and enjoyable.

The roles in Appaloosa are somewhat reversed here: Everett Hitch arrives in Resolution before Virgil Cole does, and Virgil decides to hang around to help his friend. This is another new town, but one without any law. The local mine owner, Eamon O'Malley, and Amos Wolfson, local saloonkeeper and businessman, are on a collision course to see who can take over the other's activities. Naturally, Wolfson needs someone to keep order in the saloon, and Everett finds that to be easy work after he kills a local trouble maker.

Matters become complicated by the interests of ranchers who want to raise their families in the area and make a little money, something they can't do with Wolfson squeezing them. Everett and Virgil have a soft heart for the ladies who rent by the hour and the families of the ranchers. Although Wolfson thinks he owns Everett and Virgil, they don't think of themselves as slaves and set out to do what seems right.

This story explores many interesting themes about what law and order are based on, what civic and personal responsibilities are, the roles of men and women, and what it means to work for someone else. For those who like action, there's enough of that to satisfy without overwhelming the literary bent of the writing.

All in all, if you want a thinking person's western, you will have a hard time finding a more satisfying one. Although the writing is clearly defined by the genre, Parker's plot and dialog allow Resolution to provide fresh angles for old themes. It's fun see how Mr. Parker does it.
