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. Haunted by the ghosts of the men he's killed, there is one man he has set out to destroyLouis Gasceaux, the man who murdered his parents while a younger Theo watched. In the fierce and lawless Western frontier of 1874 these traits were what was needed to stay alive. There is a reason Long Ride Home has remained in print for twenty years. But the trail Theo's following is long and bloodyand 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..

And he has another gift: the ability to entertain his readers as he educates them.” Rocky Mountain News“A novel of defiance and raw emotion: the vivid portrait of a man locked in violent struggle with himself and the lawless frontier.” Earl Murray, author of South of Eden on Long Ride Home“Gear is a vigorous writer…he tells a gripping tale.” Publishers Weekly. This isn't your usual horse opera tale. Like a lot of real people who have a problem trying to figure out the difference between good and evil.” Douglas C. Jones, author of The Court Martial of George Armstrong Custer“Gear offers complex psychological insights into the motivations of the guy in the white hat…it proves that it is still possible to find real dramatic fiction in the western setting.” Rave Reviews on Long Ride Home“Gear writes superbly, rolling prose with flair, confidence, wit, an
Couldn't put it down B. Laleman I picked this book up many years ago out of curiosity because I have read all of the archaeological series by him and his wife. I began reading it and couldn't put it down. The main character is completely believable and makes you want to follow him through his many travels. It's a great character study and a great way to see all the parts that made up the Old West. The character and events in this book have come back . J. CROSBY said Maybe it was just like this. Wow! What a novel. I almost want to say this is to western novels what "Andersonville" is to Civil War novels. The story morphs several actual wild west gunmen into "Theo Belk." Maybe those guys were that looney, or walking contradictions as Theo is. It moves at a quick pace and does the job of showing "Regeneration through violence" that "Blood Meridian" is suppose to do. Except this book does not have the creepy psyc. A Customer said This book is magnificent.. Gear has a talent.The way he uses vernacular is astounding.The characters are portayed as they would o' been back then.
