À propos de cet audio

 In Streets of Laredo, McMurtry brought the story ahead, giving us Call in his old age. Now, in Dead Man's Walk, he takes us back to the days when Gus and Call were young Texas Rangers, first experiencing the wild frontier that will form their characters. We also meet Clara Forsythe, the unforgettable young woman whose effect on Gus McCrae is immediate and unshakable. Danger, sacrifice, comradeship, and love give them the strength and courage to survive against the almost insurmountable odds of the frontier.

In Dead Man's Walk, Gus and Call are not yet 20, young men coming of age in the days when Texas was still an independent republic. Enlisting as Texas Rangers under a land pirate who wants to seize Santa Fe from the Mexicans, Gus and Call experience their first great adventure in the barren great plains landscape, in which arbitrary violence is the rule -- whether from nature, or from the Indians whose territory they must cross in order to reach New Mexico.

From the Indians defending their land with unrelenting savagery, to the Texans attempting to seize and "civilize" it, and the Mexicans threatened by both, the reckless men of the untamed frontier make this at once a riveting adventure story and a powerful work of literature.

figured I would return, so HAPPY I did now onto the next book.

I read this book as a child

This story doesn’t even come close to the masterpiece of Lonesome Dove but I still found it to be worth the listen. It’s fun to watch some of our favourite characters from Lonesome Dove in their early years as their characters begin to take shape. I thought the narration was fantastic. The story wasn’t my favourite though, the plot felt lacking. Even after finishing the book you couldn’t really tell what the point or the plot line of the book was. There were a lot of characters that were always changing and hard to keep track of. It was more focused on gore and fighting than Lonesome Dove and even Streets of Laredo.

Overall, it isn’t a must read but is worth the listen if you’ve already listened to Lonesome Dove & Streets of Laredo and you are looking to hear more stories about Gus and Cal and their adventures together.

It’s no “Lonesome Dove”, but still a fun listen!

The writer is funny and interesting it starts out great but then it just becomes less and less believable because of all the contrived bits I don’t recommend it

Lots of potential but too many contrived things so it feels fake
