"One of our finest storytellers and he's at his best here" in the conclusion to the series that began with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lonesome Dove"(People).

Texas Rangers August McCrae and Woodrow F. Call, now in their middle years, are just beginning to deal with the enigmas of the adult heart -- Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe; and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young whore who loves him. Two proud but very different men, they enlist with a Ranger troop in pursuit of Buffalo Hump, the great Comanche war chief; Kicking Wolf, the celebrated Comanche horse thief; and a deadly Mexican bandit king with a penchant for torture.

Comanche Moon joins the twenty-year time line between Dead Man's Walk and Lonesome Dove, following beloved heroes Gus and Call and their comrades-in-arms -- Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker -- in their bitter struggle to protect an advancing Western frontier against the defiant Comanches, courageously determined to defend their territory and their way of life.

At once vividly imagined and unflinchingly realistic, Comanche Moon is a sweeping adventure full of tragedy, cruelty, courage, honor and betrayal -- the culmination of Larry McMurtry's peerless vision of the American West.

"A sprawling, picaresque novel." -- The New York Times Book Review

"The [frontier] myth is intact, if a tad tattered, by McMurtry's darkly comedic touch and sly debunking of chivalric conventions." -- The New York Daily News

"Almost impossible to put down... McMurtry knows how to deploy his most suspenseful episodes for maximum effect." -- Boston Herald

"A monumental work that has few equals." -- Library Journal

"A singular treat." -- San Francisco Examier & Chronicle Book Review
