Sergeant Philip Trent is a ‘Mountie’, a member of the Canadian Northwest Mounted Police. At the end of the 19th century, it’s up to him and his fellow officers to criss-cross the vast open spaces of Canada to maintain law and order. Sent after a small-time killer, he finds himself saving the beautiful Agnes from a pack of hungry wolves. The young woman has come from the city to find her missing half-brother. Against his better judgement, Trent agrees to help her…
With the two names attached to this book you might be expecting more science fiction. Nope. What you get is Cinebook's latest rough 'n' tough action man -a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP): Trent.
WHY did it take the publishers this long? Brits have a thing about Mounties going back many decades from Boomerang Burke (I ain't kidding), to Dandy McQueen, Benton Fraser in Due South and oh so many more. I once wrote a very long article about Mounties in British comics!
What can I write about this new book? The story is good and has a twist and the character of Trent and his dog..."Dog"...is well realised. It was fun. But deadly serious. And the art...how can the art not be good? the environment, the characters, clothing -everything is just what you would want if you were a serious comic reader.
Right now I am looking forward to Trent 2!
