Richard S. Wheeler The Buffalo Commons
Tor Books 2000 0812545168 / 9780812545166 Mass Market Paperback Very Good
0812545168 From Kirkus Reviews Multipublishable Montanan Wheeler, who apparently writes with three hands at once (over 30 novels, and see below), and who won the Spur Award for Sierra (1996), now gets doubly serious in treating a controversial modern subject: Laslo Honorey, a zillionaire, wants to defeat the spread of agribusiness on the High Plains and--along with federal regulators and environmentalists--nationalize thousands of miles of grasslands and rebuild them as buffalo grazing grounds (a ``buffalo commons''). But what of the Nichols family, which has ranched the grasslands for over a century? Must their way of life fade away? Thrumming at an appreciably deeper level of feeling than ever before, Wheeler should attract fresh readers. -- Copyright ?©1998, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Review "This book touches the heart."--El Paso Times "[Adds] a dimension to an already inventive writer."--Rocky Mountain News "A taut drama about one of the most controversial issues in the modern West....Magnificent, believable characters....This is a fine novel.....It is as timely as tomorrow's newspaper and once started, it is hard to put down. Wheeler has another award winner on his hands."--Tulsa World -- Review
