Journal of the Gun Years and The Gun Fight -- two great novels from New York Times bestselling author, Richard Matheson.

Journal of the Gun Years
A callow youth in search of excitement, Clay Halser travels the raucous frontier towns where a steady nerve and ready trigger finger soon mark him as a gunfighter to be reckoned with. As both an outlaw and lawman, he carves out a legendary career. But fame proves to be the one enemy he can't outdraw....

The Gun Fight
John Benton was one of the toughest men ever to wear a Texas Ranger badge. But eight years ago, he hung up his guns for good. Or so he hoped.

When young Robby Coles challenges John to a fight over an imagined slight, Benton tries to laugh off the affair. But rumors and gossip spread like wildfire through their dusty town and soon enough the entire community seems to be pushing both men towards a confrontation neither truly wants.

Review:

The best novel I read last year. Stephen King

The best western of the season! Booklist

The author gives his story a credibility and honesty unusual in the genre. Publishers Weekly

Breathtaking . . . first-rate . . . impossible to put down. Mr. Matheson has done something remarkable: with a single novel he has placed himself in the front rank of Western novelists. Richard S. Wheeler, author of Virgin River

A novel filled with remarkable surprises . . . a fine and unique book. Ed Gorman, author of Sleeping Dogs

A remarkable western novel. It strips the romanticism from the old West, but retains the blood-and-guts violence, as well as the high excitement of the frontier. Clay Halser's journals are the stuff of myth. Norman Zollinger, author of The Road to Santa Fe

Journal of the Gun Years is a three carat diamond. Read and enjoy it without delay. Max Evans, author of For the Love of Horses

Some of the best damn writing Matheson's done in his spectacular career. Loren D. Estleman, author of Gas City
