Synopsis
In the long-awaited sequel to Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurtry spins an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism. Captain Woodrow Call, Augustus 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. Their 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.

About the Author
McMurtry has published 21 novels (the best-known listed above). He also operates antiquarian bookshops in Washington DC, Texas and Arizona.
From AudioFile
If you combine McMurtry's listenable style, a compelling storyline about the search for an evil young bandit, and sometimes terrifying characters--the result is eminently suitable for audio. Several characters have aged considerably since we last saw them in Lonesome Dove, and narrator Daniel von Bargen reflects the passage of time by using the voice of an elderly man. His unhurried, plain-speaking delivery is consistent with the Texas and Mexican settings of the story. His skillful interpretation of Spanish and American accents is flawless; his differentiation of characters is sensitive and consistent. While somewhat violent, this program is superbly produced. S.K.
