LAW OF THE DESERT BORN: A GRAPHIC NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 12731113B64829
English Summary/英文概要： The first graphic novel adaptation of the work of master storyteller Louis L’Amour is a dynamic tale of the Old West that explores the borderlands of loyalty and betrayal with the emotional grittiness of a noir thriller.
New Mexico, 1887, a land in the midst of the worst drought anyone can remember. Family histories and loyalties run deep, but when rancher Tom Forrester has his access to the Pecos River cut off by the son of his old partner, he convinces his foreman, Shad Marone, to pay Jud Bowman back for the discourtesy. Yet what starts as a simple act of petty revenge quickly spirals into a cycle of violence that no one can control.
Now Marone is on the run, pursued by a sheriff’s posse across a rugged desert landscape. Leading the chase is Jesus Lopez, a half-Mexican, half-Apache with a personal stake in bringing Shad to justice. Newly released from jail, trusted by no one, Lopez swears he’s the only man who can track Marone down. That may be true. But who will live and who will die and what price will be paid in suffering are open questions. Fate and the Jornada del Muerto desert possess a harsh justice that is all their own.
With a propulsive script from Beau L’Amour and Kathy Nolan, adapted by Charles Santino and illustrated in bold black-and-white by Thomas Yeates, Law of the Desert Born captures the dust and blood of Louis L’Amour’s West—a world where the difference between a hero and a villain can be as wide as the gap between an act of kindness or brutality or as narrow as a misspoken word.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 小说大师Louis L’Amour第一部改编自图像小说（某种形式的漫画，剧情较长较复杂，绘图表现风格的发挥尺度较宽，以成年读者为目标）的作品是关于旧时西部的神秘传说，讲述了一个忠诚与背叛交织的展现多面人性的黑色惊悚故事。
1887的新墨西哥州正在遭受有史以来最严重的旱灾。祖训与忠诚深入人心，但在去佩科斯河的路被老搭档的儿子阻断后，牧场主Tom Forrester为了出这口气便让工头Shad Marone去讨回公道。虽然他纯粹是为了给Jud Bowman个教训，但是事态却向出乎意料的方向发展，变成了不可控的暴力复仇循环。
现在Marone正在沙漠逃亡，而州长一行人却一直对他紧追不舍。负责此次抓捕行动的半墨西哥人，半印第安人Jesus Lopez，誓要将Marone捉拿审判。Lopez刚从监狱释放，尽管没有人相信他，但他坚信他是唯一能找到Marone的人。可是谁生谁死，恩怨偿还并不只有这一种方式。命运和沙漠自会其公正的审判。
