Usually ships in 1 business days | | | Dead Man's Walk is the first, extraordinary book in the epic Lonesome Dove tetralogy, in which Larry McMurtry breathed new life into the vanished American West and created two of the most memorable heroes in contemporary fiction: Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call.As young Texas Rangers, Gus and Call have much to learn about survival in a land fraught with perils: not only the blazing heat and raging tornadoes, roiling rivers and merciless Indians but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions--led by incompetent officers and accompanied by the robust, dauntless whore known as the Great Western--they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. They will be astonished by the Mexican army. And Gus will meet the love of his life. | | | |

 First in the series Jun 05, 2008
What a great way to start. I love the background on the characters I fell in love with in Lonesome Dove. Can't wait to complete the whole series.

 No lonesome dove Mar 09, 2008
First of all let me say I loved 'Lonesome Dove'. Loved it. Loved the story, loved the characters, and consider it a classic. Regrettably this isn't in the same league. Most of the dialogue is so stupid it insults the intelligence and the characters seemed cartoonish at best. In fact the whole book felt like a comic book. I found myself skimming over pages until I just couldn't take it any more. At page 310 I skipped to the end, an ending which ranks as one of the dumbest endings I've ever encountered in fiction. I gave it two stars because I did get 300 pages in before calling it quits.
 Dead Man's Walk Mar 05, 2008
Big fan of McMurty's, especially the Lonesome Dove series. Fun reading about Gus, Call and the gang in their early years, however the book could drag a bit in parts. McMurtry never fails to deliver overall to keep the reader involved in this characters. Book in excellent condition.
Good prequel Feb 22, 2008
A story that covers an era in the west that is not well covered by other authors, the same could be said for his other prequel, "Comanche Moon." I love the human writing of this author, where characters are portrayed in a more human fashion with both the beauty and the warts, the inherent goodness and the fatal flaws that are an integral part of real people.
