Comanche Moon : A Novel

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The second book of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove tetralogy, Comache Moon takes us once again into the world of the American West.

Texas Rangers August McCrae and Woodrow Call, now in their middle years, continue to deal with the ever-increasing tensions of adult life -- 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 the 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. Assisting the Rangers in their wild chase is the renowned Kickapoo tracker, Famous Shoes.

Comanche Moon closes the twenty-year gap 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 the advancing West frontier against the defiant Comanches, courageously determined to defend their territory and their way of life. more

Comanche Moon

Larry McMurtry's `Comanche Moon' follows the Texas Ranger Captains Woodrow Call and Gus McCrae in their middle years. This is a stand alone book in the series which can be read with enjoyment and understanding by itself. In `Comanche Moon, McMurtry's isolating and development of each character's...

A Review for those who have not read "Lonesome Dove" yet.

The adventure continues for, now veteran, Texas Rangers Woodrow Call and Augustus (Gus) McCrae on the plains of Texas in the mid-1800's. We follow these two best friends through many adventures and hardships in this second installment of Larry McMurtry's epic Lonesome Dove series. This book takes...

real characters, in three dimension

I wish I had read the book before I saw the movie. So much more realism in the book. The characters seem to jump out of the pages and become real. I cant wait to get back to reading after I have stopped. I want to finish this so I can get to the next book.

Ignore Gus and Call, the best parts lie elsewhere

This book is divided into 3 parts, the first two of which cover a series of events resulting in Gus and Call's completion of their first mission as captains. Book 3 begins several years later and meanders through a wrap up of sorts, with one last adventure at the end. This kind of creates a...

Good prequel

A story that covers an era in the west that is not well covered by other authors, the same could be said for his other prequel, "Dead Man's Walk." I love the human writing of this author, where characters are portrayed in a more human fashion with both the beauty and the warts, the inherent...

Gus & Call

Just finished Comanche Moon, a colorful tale of wild adventure out in the old west. A few really great characters in this book. Cowboys, Indians, Bandits, Whores....the wild west of the 1800's. I'm just a huge fan of this genre, looking forward to more of the same.

Good as usual!!!

I love reading books by Larry McMurtry. I read all of the Lonesome Dove books and this one is very good too. Too bad it had to end. I'm sorry to say that the TV movie that came out about Camanche Moon was just terrible. Read the book........

Not Lonesome Dove, but worthy prequel.

Not big on westerns, but kind of got back into them after reading the excellent Across the High Lonesome. Years ago I read and loved "Lonesome Dove - A Novel" but I tried a few other McMurtry books and did not care for them at all! With the miniseries just out I decided to try Comanache Moon....

The Frontier Is Life And The Search Is For Wisdom

While the prequel to the dynamic Lonesome Dove packs a powerful punch - a blur between good & evil, sadistic killers, bumbling politicians and rumbling battles - it is the oftentimes subtle interplay of characters through dialogue that makes the novel a classic.Though August McCrae and Woodrow F....
