Synopsis
On the wild Texas frontier where barbarism and civilization come in many forms, Rangers Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call are pitched into the long, bitter, bloody fighting under the command of Captain Inish Scull.
When Scull's favourite horse is stolen by the Comanches, he decides to track him down, leaving Gus and Call in charge. However, on their return to Austin, Gus is greeted by the news that his sweetheart is to marry another man and Call finds that the town's most notorious woman is desperate to settle down with him and become respectable. When Scull's wealthy wife demands that her errant husband be brought home, with feelings akin to relief the two men set off once more into the vast, untamed plains . . .
Comanche Moon, which follows on from Dead Man's Walk and prequels Lonesome Dove, follows Gus and Call 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, and showcases McMurtry's strong affinity for the landscape and its inhabitants with a deeply felt lyrical intensity.

Review
A sprawling, picaresque novel (New York Times Book Review)
A monumental work that has few equals in current literature (Library Journal)
The [frontier] myth is intact, if a tad tattered by McMurtry's darkly comedic touch and sly debunking of chivalric conventions. But at its core are McMurtry's respect and gift for exaggerated and fanciful pageantry and heroic form (New York Daily News)
McMurtry's revisionist vision of frontier life is always compelling (Booklist)
[A] fine tableau of western life, full of imaginative exploits, convincing historical background, and characters who are alive (Kirkus Reviews)
Comanche Moon has its considerable pleasures . . . a singular treat (San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle Book Review)
McMurtry is one of our finest storytellers, and he's at his best here (People)
Consistently entertaining (Entertainment Weekly)
Almost impossible to put down . . . McMurtry knows how to deploy his most suspenseful episodes for maximum effect. He treats his large cast of characters with humour and respect (Boston Herald)
