From the critically acclaimed author of Ash Child, the tenth in this popular series set in Montana A wealthy millennial cult from California relocates to the outskirts of the Montana badlands-the dry and windy dead zone-and the Toussaint townsfolk are none too pleased. The cult members keep to themselves, but Gabriel Du Pr soon learns that seven of their recently defected members were killed-each shot to death. When another shooting incident occurs just outside of the compound, Du Pr finds himself blindly searching for a killer and an explanation for the murders-for which there seem to be no answers. ...

Badlands. and Other Hillarities
When I urged the Du Pre books on a friend who part-times in Montana, she said,"They're mysteries?"

Mysteries!I thought they were comedies (I was still chuckling at supper, having been reading this a quarter-hour before.) - cum local color, plus a returning crew of zanies, both local and FBI.

This tells of a religious cult, Benetsee the shaman and his apprentice Pellon, the former computer person, an FBI man screaming in terror of returning to the area because Du Pre's ten-year-old granddaughter had decided she would marry him, when she graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a math major (Du Pre thinks she should probably marry Benetsee, as they were so well-matched), Du Pre cobbling together rhinestone reading glasses for his lover Madeline.And, oh, yes, a mystery.

Wonderful.Add it to your library to read, and re-read, and urge upon friends.

Peter Bowen is one talented writer
First Line: Du Pré fiddled the last bars of Poundmaker's Reel, drawing the last note out and then fading it to silence.

I'm slowly coming to the end of this series. I keep putting it off, but sooner or later I just have to have a Du Pré fix, and I get one book closer to No More.

Whenever I review one of Peter Bowen's Gabriel Du Pré mysteries, readers seldom comment. Perhaps it's because Du Pré is so unabashedly not politically correct. He likes to smoke. He likes to drink. He likes to drive his old police cruiser at high speed down those empty Montana highways-- usually all three at the same time.

Parker came up to it. She bent over and put her head in. "You OK," she said.

"Yah," said Du Pré. "I am doing the damned speed limit, yes?"

"Yeah," said Parker, "you were, which worried the hell out of me. There's Du Pré I says to myself, and he musta been carjacked cause he is just driving the speed limit. Little under actually. You feel all right?"


That alone is enough to make him anathema in many homes, and it's a downright shame. By not touching these books, readers are missing out on wonderful music, the culture of the Métis Indians, the lilting cadence of Coyote French, and the strong uncompromising landscape of Montana and its fiercely independent inhabitants who know how to take care of their own with no outside interference.

In this tenth book of the series, a ranch family has come on hard times and put their land up for sale. The land is bought by the Host of Yahweh, a cult from California. Soon trucks are delivering all sorts of building materials and supplies. Dozens of homes go up for cult members to live in, and barbed wire starts being strung. The Host of Yahweh's property borders the Badlands where the wild horses live. The cult doesn't want the horses to come on their land for water or grazing, and when they post a couple of members out there to kill the horses, that bothers Du Pré. Of course, he's already bothered because his friend in the FBI has let him know that everyone who tries to leave the cult winds up dead.

Trying to get the goods on the Host of Yahweh isn't the only thing going on in Badlands. Bowen's series is always filled with music and laughter. Du Pré's fiddle provides the backdrop to the real life moments of coping with failing eyesight and headstrong grandchildren and trying to scratch out a living on the land. That California cult may think it can have its way with the country hicks who live around Toussaint, Montana, but these tough folks know how to take care of their own with love, with spirit, and with honesty. Reading a Gabriel Du Pré mystery is reading about America the way it used to be... and the way it still is if you happen to mosey down the right highway.

Disapointed
This was the first novel I have read in the series, and I doubt seriously if I will read anymore.Anti-climactic doesnt even begin to describe the flop that passed for an end to this book.The characters and thier relationships were very unbelievable; this is especially true for the FBI agents who are apparently reoccurring characters in the series.The main protagonist is a likeable character and has some memorable dialogue, but it is not enough to save the rest of the book.

Benetsee Sang
When a series closes in on a dozen volumes, the challenge to the author is to keep his characters believable and avoid repetitive formulas.In other words the author must find new ways of being creative while each new book adds more constraints to the overall story.Truth be told, I know of no author who manages this with complete ease.Thus many of the contributing factors of Badlands will be familiar to Peter Bowen's more loyal readers, while newcomers will find the story completely original.

Thus one can predict that Gabriel Du Pre, Metis Indian and frequent agent of a higher justice will be lectured by his mate Madelaine, manipulated by Benetsee the Shaman, and stubbornly determined to try his own way first.He and his own are the truest natives of northern Montana, living at peace with the other long term residents of Toussaint and jealously guarding the inner nature of a lifestyle that still reflects the wilderness about them.

When The Host of Yahweh, a yuppie religious cult, mysteriously descends on Toussaint and proceeds to build a closed community at a local ranch, this gets a lot of attention.Especially when they show signs of killing of the local wild horse herd as pests.Benetsee and Du Pre step in, and soon the violence escalates.The FBI believes that the Host is implicated in the simultaneous killing of 7 ex-members, Du Pre is enlisted and an investigation that is more like a small war ensues.

There really isn't a mystery here other than how Du Pre will manage to overcome the Host, but there is a lot of Bowen's warm respect for the Metis Indians.He captures beautifully the strange English dialect that is part fractured French grammar, part salty word selection, and part sheer attitude.Du Pre is surrounded by characters that Bowen generally keeps entertaining us, even if they are not always using fresh material.Benetsee steals the book this time with his own magical mystery tour.As Bowen writes, "Him, he will make his joke.Always does.Us, we get to be the punch lines."

I would advise starting earlier than this volume in the series, not because it can't stand on its own, but because of the amount the previous volumes contribute to the context.

Veiw it as a novel first, a mystery second
As noted by another reviewer, there really isn't much mystery in this book, but there is one heck of a good story.Like any good serial, a mysterious cult, shadowy leader, stolen arms, and murder are all just a framework for the characters to act around. I will say that the death of the woman on the four-wheeler hit me as particularly disturbing, and I wish we had gotten a little more about Bart's kidnapping, but all in all the story satisfied and stayed true to the series.
Not all questions get answeres, and not all plotlines get neatly tied off, but that seems to be part and parcel of Bowen's style.
As always, those familliar with the series will get more from the book than a first time reader.
I really enjoied seeing the relationship develope between Pallas and Ripper, as well as the interplay between Ripper and Harvey.Who is Pidgeon in love with?Will Pallas grow up and join the FBI - pushing Harvey into early retirement and chasing Ripper back to Brazil?
I eagerly await the next instalment. ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: So is the fifth studio album (and seventh album overall) by British rock musician Peter Gabriel, released in 1986. Many of its songs reflect a more conventional pop-writing style and became radio hits, others still retain Gabriel's dark, brooding sense of experimentalism. It is Peter Gabriel's second album produced by Canadian artist Daniel Lanois. The previous year, the two of them had worked together on Birdy. Lanois had been previously known for his ambient collaborations with Brian Eno as well as producing U2 since 1984. As he had with the soundtrack to the film Birdy, Lanois brought many of his own ambient sensibilities to this recording. The album begins with "Red Rain". Inspired by a recurring dream which Gabriel had of swimming in a sea of red water, its lyrics vividly depict dream imagery that reflect a sense of vulnerability. The song is one of the works in the story of Mozo, a wandering stranger who appears in several Gabriel songs. Of all the tracks on the album, Gabriel considers "Red Rain" one of his favourites. Other Mozo works include "On the Air" and "Exposure". The second track is Gabriel's most popular single, "Sledgehammer". "Sledgehammer" is a piece with Motown and world music influences, from its famous use of the shakuhachi. The video for "Sledgehammer" won MTV's 1987 Top Music Video Award. Directed by Steven Johnson, it features stop motion animation by Aardman Animations of Wallace and Gromit fame. The dancing chickens were animated by Nick ...http://booksllc.net/?id=1053521 ...

Extrait : Solsbury Hill est une chanson folk rock écrite par le musicien britannique Peter Gabriel, parue en 1977 sur son premier album, Peter Gabriel (Car). Elle raconte une expérience spirituelle au sommet de la colline de Solsbury Hill dans le Somerset, en Angleterre. Peter Gabriel écrivit cette chanson peu après avoir quitté le groupe de rock progressif Genesis (dans lequel il a été chanteur et membre fondateur), pour expliquer les raisons de son départ. Cette chanson est son premier single en carrière. Celle-ci a atteint le top 20 au Royaume-Uni et le top 70 au Billboard Hot 100. La signature rythmique de cette chanson est 7/4, ce qui est particulièrement rare ; les deux dernières mesures de chaque refrain sont en 4/4. Elle a été utilisée dans plusieurs films, comme pour la bande sonore du film Vanilla Sky en 2001, et en 2004 pour le film En bonne compagnie. En janvier 2003, le duo pop britannique Erasure sort en single une reprise de Solsbury Hill qui se classa n°10 des ventes dans le Top 40 britannique en début d'année 2003. La signature rythmique de cette reprise fut transposée en 4/4 pour l'intégralité de la chanson. Outre le fait que Vince Clarke (le musicien d'Erasure) soit un admirateur de Peter Gabriel, les paroles de Solsbury Hill sont applicables à son propre départ, en 1981, du groupe Depeche Mode dont il fut membre fondateur et principal compositeur à ses débuts. ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
Ever since Peter Gabriel fronted Progressive Rock band Genesis, from the late 1960s until the mid 1970s, journalists and academics alike have noted the importance of Gabriel's contribution to popular music. His influence became especially significant when he embarked on a solo career in the late 1970s. Gabriel forced his way into the annals of popular music history through his poignant recordings, innovative music videos, groundbreaking live performances, the establishment of WOMAD (the World of Music and Dance) and the Real World record label (as a forum for musicians from around the world to be heard, recorded and promoted) and for his political agenda (including links to a variety of political initiatives including the Artists Against Apartheid Project, Amnesty International and the Human Rights Now tour). In addition, Gabriel is known as a sensitive, articulate and critical performer whose music is deeply informed by reading and research. This collection documents and critically explores the most central themes found in Gabriel's work.These are divided into three important conceptual areas arising from Gabriel's activity as a songwriter and recording artist, performer and activist: 'Identity and Representation', 'Politics and Power' and 'Production and Performance'. ...

Excerpt: from the album Foxtrot Supper's Ready is a song by the band Genesis. A recorded version appeared on their 1972 album Foxtrot, and the band performed the song regularly on stage for several years following this. Live versions appear on the albums Seconds Out (recorded in 1977), the compilation Genesis Archive 1967-75, and the box set Genesis Live 1973-2007. In an interview, Peter Gabriel summed up Supper's Ready as "a personal journey which ends up walking through scenes from Revelations in the Bible....I'll leave it at that." Nearly 23 minutes in length, the song is divided into seven sections. A number of musical and lyrical themes do re-appear throughout. The melody of the verse in section 1 ("Lover's Leap") reappears as a flute melody between sections 2 and 3. The melody of the chorus in section 1 reappears with new lyrics in the coda to section 6. And the song that comprises the majority of the section 2 ("The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man") reappears briefly in instrumental form at the beginning of section 6, and then returns to form the body of section 7 ("As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet...http://booksllc.net/?id=2547282 ...
