Publisher's Summary

The final book of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove tetralogy is an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism. Captain Woodrow Call, August 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. This long chase leads them across the last wild streches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

What the critics say

" Streets of Laredo is a splendid addition to the literary portrait of McMurtry's native Texas and the West that he has been creating for three decades. It's also one of his most affectingly melancholy books.... The characters are as finely etched as any McMurtry has ever minted." ( Newsweek)
"One of McMurtry's most powerful and moving achievements." ( Los Angeles Times)
"A marvelous novel in its own right and in every way a worthy successor to Lonesome Dove." ( Chicago Tribune)

Good as far a sequels go

Good narrator and a good story. Lonesome Dove is an incredible book and a tough act to follow.

Streets of Laredo, Dead Mans Walk, Comanche Moon.

this is my review for the 3 books in the title.
Streets of Laredo often left me feeling heartbroken for the characters we grew to love throughout Lonesome dove, but ultimately left me feeling like a fitting end for our beloved characters.
Dead Mans Walk takes us back to the early days of the Texas Rangers, Captains Woodrow Call and Augustus Mcrae a much younger than where we last left them and are joining up for the first time! along the way they meet a whole new cast of interesting characters who will grow to feel like family by the end of the story as they travel together across texas and beyond.

Comanche moon is where those missing members of the Hat Creek outfit finally show up, but they all feel little more than teenagers at this point. this time we meet an interesting new ranger captain, and the we see the origins of a familiar enemy, Blue Duck. Comanche moon is a perfect bridge between Dead Mans Walk and Lonesome Dove.
Overall this series is well done and a fitting companion to Lonesome Dove.

A worthy end to a great series

At times slow and repetitive but an engaging study of what it means to be human. As always with his writing, I was left moved almost to tears by his deep understanding of life from so many different points of view.

Not the adventure of the first three books of the series but an appropriate end with no loose ends.

Ending of a great Epic tale.

Larry McMurtry’s “Lonesome Dove” saga is the richest series of books I have ever read.
4 epic western stories come to close in Streets of Laredo, where we join Woodrow Call and the survivors of Lonesome Dove on one final adventure as well as meeting plenty of new characters. Larry McMurtry has a way of writing massive
Cinematic stories while never falling into random Hollywood stereotypes.
The events feel fleshed out and random. Such as life can be.

a fine sequel to Lonesome Dove

A cracking good story brought to life by the fine narration. Like Lonesome Dove, this is one I will be revisiting in the years to come.
