Larry McMurtry
The acclaimed sequel to Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize–winning classic Lonesome Dove, and the culmination of the legendary western saga, follows the further adventures of these beloved characters as they reckon with their past choices and uncertain futures in the rapidly changing American West.Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena—once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

"Loved the series, but this one was my least favorite. To me, Capt. Call’s portrayal in this one didn’t seem true to his character. He speaks more in this book than he did in all the others combined!!"

"The last book in the series. Not my favourite as I felt it meandered quite a bit. Many people have said this one is depressing and I see why. There were a few new female characters in this one though so that made it more interesting in my opinion. "

"Lonesome Dove was my favorite book so I wanted to read the sequel to it. It was engaging and kept me interested from the first page. It was rather gruesome but that’s the way the old west was. It was nice to see what the ending was for all the Lonesome Dove characters. If you enjoyed Lonesome Dove, you’ll definitely want to read this book as well."
