Against the immense backdrop of the American West, Larry McMurtry tracks the Berrybender's as they make their way up the great river, surviving attacks, discomfort, savage weather, and natural disaster. Sin Killer is an adventure story as big as the West itself, full of incident, and suspense, as well as a charming love story between a headstrong and aristocratic young Englishwoman and the stubborn, shy, and very American Jim Snow.

Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries. Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Publisher's Summary
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.

Not Lonesome Dove
This is a prequel to Lonesome Dove with a young Corporal Call and Augustus. It is well written and superbly narrated. I could listen to Will Patten recite the phone book and enjoy it. It is also a good book but I could not give it five stars because it is so depressing. You are supposed to win some, lose some in life but you should not lose them all. If you do not mind a depressing story and you like oaters then this is for you.

Entertaining but not "Lonesome Dove"
Like many others, I listened to "Lonesome Dove" and loved it and wanted more of the story. This prequel, while entertaining, is a bit disappointing. Gus is one dimensional interested only in whores and it's hard to see how he would develop into the accomplished Texas Ranger we meet in "Lonesome Dove".
There is a lot of emphasis on torture and unpleasant death but I didn't find that to be as bad as some other reviewers do, though and lot of bad things and not much positive happens to the heroes in this one.
Near the end of the book, Mcmurtry changes style and suddenly we get Buffalo Hump and other Comanches in the first person where it had been third person throughout, which just struck me as odd.
I have to agree with one of the other reviewers on the ending. The ending is ludicrous and stretches the readers credulity beyond the breaking point.
Still, I did generally enjoy the story and it's worth it in any case as the first chronologically in the series.

Young Gus and Call
I enjoyed this a lot. First of all, this was a perfect book for Will Patton to read and he did so, perfectly. I wish he could read the entire four book series. As for story, it was well told with believable characters. It was also interesting because I know the area that's being written about. The story never gets old and I listened to the entire series multiple times on Audible.

Great beginning to the Lonesome Dove saga!!!
What made the experience of listening to Dead Man's Walk the most enjoyable?
Very well read by Will Patton.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dead Man's Walk?
When Kicking Wolf was scared by Lady Carrey naked on her horse with the snake in her arms.
What does Will Patton bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Tons of emotion to each character.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Enjoyed it, and found it hard to stop listening.
Any additional comments?
I look forward to Comanche Moon.

Humorous, witty, real wild west.
What did you love best about Dead Man's Walk?
I walked the Dead Man's Walk with Call and Gus. Will Patton brings a very good tale to the level of Majesty. I've listened 4 times and get a little more each time. You'll love ALL of the characters - the heroes and the villains. The landscape they trudge through is wide open and wild. Loved it. Still love it. It's a listen again and again. Makes the Lonesome Dove TV series into a poor cousin by comparison.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Dead Man's Walk?
When the Mexican Commander hands over his gun to Call.... real drama.
What about Will Patton’s performance did you like?
I will listen to Will Patton read the phone book. His sensitivity with accents, and nuance are remarkable. I like him as an actor but LOVE him as a Narrator.
If you could take any character from Dead Man's Walk out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I'd take Gus out for dinner and just listen. Mostly because he'd do all the talking and you would never get a chance to interrupt. But I'd take Call fishing - and count the dozen words he spoke as a library.

Dead Man's Walk
Loved it! Will Patton is an awesome narrator and the voices of Gus and Woodrow are so much like Bobby Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones in the movie Lonesome Dove that you can just see them (albeit younger) as you are listening. Just started Commanche Moon and the narration is a huge disappointment.

Why? Different Narrators?
I listen to and thoroughly enjoyed, Lonesome Dove. I wanted more and purchased, Dead Man’s Walk. I’m barely into the story and am very frustrated that the Narrator’s voice, inflection, presentation, etc. is not even close to, Lonesome Dove.
Are all the books in this series different? Don’t they think ahead? Is this a ‘rocket science’ question. I almost feel like canceling this book and purchase, Dead Man’s Walk, in paperback instead. (The series should be performed by the same narrator! Yes, the books are years apart so, do first ones over.)
I will listen a little longer but, I’m very disappointed NOT hearing Gus McCray’s voice!!

A Compelling Story of the Old West
I came to this book after McMurty's majestic Lonesome Dove and it did not disappoint. The story and the writing is first class. It paints a picture of an era that is utterly alien to our experience, a time that was savage and merciless when life, for many, was indeed nasty, brutish and short. Will Patton does an excellent job in narrating it (he should be asked to do a narration of Lonesome Dove too as Lee Horsley's one was done back in the early 90s and it could do with updating). If you enjoyed Lonesome Dove you will enjoy this too.

Western Adventure of the Highest Order.
Wonderfully narrated, vividly told, this is the beginning of the long life of adventuring with the Texas Rangers for Gus McRae and Woodrow Coll that ends so poignantly with McMurty’s “Lonesome Dove”. Not for those with weak stomachs, not for those who hold precious the revisionist image of the Native American as a high and noble spirit.

A great frontier tale
This is a great tale of the west, the frontiers and plains to the west off the Misssissippi. circu 1830-50. If you like this book then follow it up more historical fiction and adventure by listening to the Titus Bass trilogy from Terry Johnston. You will need a map as you follow our story along; the great rivers of North America. Story and narration both good.

My first cowboy story.
I enjoyed this very much and intend to look for more by Larry McMurtry. It was a bit gruesome in places but I guess that was how life was.
The description of the Indians was very interesting and I learned a lot. Didn’t know Apaches didn’t “scalp” and didn’t know about the slave trading.
Narrator was good and believable too.
Not my usual type of story but glad I did.

Convincing and authentic
I thought this was a very good listen. The writing and narration skilfully captured life in the outback and portrayed a convincing sense of a long lost era that was, in places, hard to listen to. The brutal existence that these men endured in these lawless times made me appreciate the civilisation that we have now.

Gritty, compelling, beautifully read
Larry McMurtry’s writing is up there with Cormac McCarthy and Annie Proulx. It also lends itself perfectly to being read out loud
- and Will Patton’s narration was a seamless fit. This is the first book in the Lonesome Dove series, and my only gripe is that the second - Comanche Moon - isn’t available on Audible so I’ll need to find time to read a physical copy before moving on to book three.

Wow, just wow
I enjoyed this so much. Amazing performance from the actor who pulled me into the world of the story. Amazing story or endurance against impossible odds. I can’t wait to check out lonesome dove.
