The second book in the Lonesome Dove quartet, Comanche Moon, which
follows on from Dead Man's Walk, follows ranchers Gus and Call in
their bitter struggle to protect the advancing West frontier
against the defiant Comanches, courageously determined to defend
their territory and their way of life. It showcases Larry
McMurtry's strong affinity for the landscape and its inhabitants
with a deeply felt lyrical intensity. On the wild Texas frontier
where barbarism and civilization come in many forms, Rangers Gus
McCrae and Woodrow Call are pitched into the long, bitter, bloody
fighting under the command of Captain Inish Scull. When Scull's
favourite horse is stolen by the Comanches, he decides to track him
down, leaving Gus and Call in charge. However, on their return to
Austin, Gus is greeted by the news that his sweetheart is to marry
another man and Call finds that the town's most notorious woman is
desperate to settle down with him and become respectable. When
Scull's wealthy wife demands that her errant husband be brought
home, with feelings akin to relief the two men set off once more
into the vast, untamed plains . . . Continue the series set in the
American West with the Pulitzer Prize winning Lonesome Dove.
