There is a reason Long Ride Home has remained in print for
twenty years. The novel is a classic. The gunman has
become a romanticized American icon, but Gear dares to take
us inside his gunfighter’s troubled soul: that of a man
teetering between destruction and salvation.
Theo Belk is the quintessential gunfighter: rootless,
ruthless, and deadly. In the fierce and lawless Western
frontier of 1874 these traits were what was needed to stay
alive. Haunted by the ghosts of the men he's killed, there
is one man he has set out to destroy...Louis Gasceaux, the
man who murdered his parents while a younger Theo watched.
But the trail Theo's following is long and bloody...and
Louis always seems to stay a few steps ahead.
This is how it was--from gritty buffalo and gold camps to
brawling, building towns like Denver, Cheyenne, and Dodge
City, populated with ambitious dreamers, deluded fools, and
pragmatic women.
