An epic of the frontier, Lonesome Dove is the grandest novel ever written about the last defiant wilderness. “My favorite book: there are so many that I would be afraid to say. Probably if I had to pick anything I’d say Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.” —Stephen King “If I had to recommend one Great American Novel, Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove would be high on my list. It’s got everything I love as a reader: unforgettable characters, a huge sense of adventure, humor, heartbreak, and a story that never lets go of you.” —James Patterson Journey to the dusty little town of Lonesome Dove, where retired Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call undertake a perilous cattle drive to the untamed plains of Montana.
