Über diesen Titel

 In Streets of Laredo, McMurtry brought the story ahead, giving us Call in his old age. Now, in Dead Man's Walk, he takes us back to the days when Gus and Call were young Texas Rangers, first experiencing the wild frontier that will form their characters. We also meet Clara Forsythe, the unforgettable young woman whose effect on Gus McCrae is immediate and unshakable. Danger, sacrifice, comradeship, and love give them the strength and courage to survive against the almost insurmountable odds of the frontier.

In Dead Man's Walk, Gus and Call are not yet 20, young men coming of age in the days when Texas was still an independent republic. Enlisting as Texas Rangers under a land pirate who wants to seize Santa Fe from the Mexicans, Gus and Call experience their first great adventure in the barren great plains landscape, in which arbitrary violence is the rule -- whether from nature, or from the Indians whose territory they must cross in order to reach New Mexico.

From the Indians defending their land with unrelenting savagery, to the Texans attempting to seize and "civilize" it, and the Mexicans threatened by both, the reckless men of the untamed frontier make this at once a riveting adventure story and a powerful work of literature.

What a marvellous story. McMurtry at his best. Without sentimentality he lets accompany us the first great journey of Gus and Woodrow. We dive into a merciless frontier life with memorable characters. Painstakingly accurate research, fantastic descriptions, full-blooded characters. Will Patton makes the story live in our ears and imagination. His voice and versatility are fantastic. Wow!

One of the best Westerns ever written and read

This was an amazing Book at first I couldn't find any good Western books. But the Lonesome Dove series is amazing.
All though old this audiobook has stood the test of time very well I am so grateful that I found this book and very eager to listen to the rest of the series!!

The only negative is that the second book is unavailable for me why can't audible have the same books accessible to all!!!
And why only the second book but the other 4 are fine!!!

Please fix this audible!!!!

Best Western Novel there is!!!
