El centro del relato lo ocupan dos héroes muy distintos: el nervioso, elegante y mortífero maestro del gatillo que ha llegado al territorio de Wyoming siguiendo al general Custer, «Wild» (Salvaje) Bill Hickok batidor, pistolero y leyenda viviente- en busca de su última aventura, y un indio, «Gusano», «Nadonaissioux mieyebo», que muy pronto sería conocido como Caballo Loco y más tarde lucharía en Little Big Horn.

Ambos hombres comparten el mismo sueño: matar (o ser muertos) por el último de los grandes búfalos blancos cuya mística presencia les obsesiona. La búsqueda de esta criatura fabulosa (y muy real, por cierto) les conduce a las solitarias tierras altas del Oeste en su postrera época selvática; a pequeñas localidades llenas de buscadores de oro arruinados, prostitutas y asesinos; a campamentos del ejército; a las elevadas montañas, los llanos cubiertos de hierba y los poblados indios, hasta que finalmente las figuras más legendarias del Oeste -Hickok y Caballo Loco- se encuentran en un aterrador y asombroso clímax ante el enfurecido ataque del mismísimo búfalo blanco.… (mehr)

Sinatra is great as a hired killer who holds a family and sheriff hostage to get a vantage point to kill the President. A more pro-gun movie you'll never see. Sterling Hayden is also great as the sheriff who is trying to stop him.

I remember reading this as a kid. It was tawdry, badly written and a full on Soap Opera Plot. It's about a Sleazy actor who claws his way tot he top and wins an Oscar...then falls just as quickly. Nothing new here.

Pretty much the standard early 70s thriller, it's a Bond novel with an American suave and debonair enough to seduce every woman, rich enough to be unimpressed by threats, and rough enough to do some (quite violent) damage to criminals across the globe.

He's answerable to only one man, the President of the United States of America, and only because he really, really wants to defend his country--and the free world--against something called "Keyhole". It means nothing less than...Utter Annihilation!!!

Pretty much piffle, then, but nicely paced, and there's something very chauvinistically cool about Bond being a Stars and Stripeser. It was fun to read, it passed an afternoon, and it seemed a good choice to go into Operation Paperback.
