Dead Man's Journey

Dead Man's Walk is the first book in the epic Lonesome Dove tetralogy. Larry McMurtry breathes new life into the bygone American West and creates the unforgettable heroes, Gus and Call.

In a land where danger lurks at every turn, the young Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call have much to learn. They face scorching heat, raging tornadoes, turbulent rivers, ruthless Indians, but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions, accompanied by the stout and fearless girl Matilda, the Rangers must deal not only with incompetent or treacherous officers, but also with a cunning Comanche chief named Buffalo Hump and a silent Apache named Gomez. They are overwhelmed by the size of the Mexican army. And Gus meets the love of his life.

The book Dead Man's Walk is being published in Czech for the very first time.
