Description: "He is legend, Richard Matheson, and The Gun Fight is the kind of story that made it happen. Here is a deceptively simple premise-how a lie can kill-and an unforgettable character, ex-Ranger John Benton. Matheson makes everything work just as he did in Journal of the Gun Years, which won the Golden Spur Award from the Western Writers of America." --Dale Walker, Rocky Mountain News "Matheson has crafted an engrossing account of the frequently deadly consequences of mistaking vanity for honor." -- Publishers Weekly "With the possible exception of the modern woman's romance, Richard Matheson has conquered every category of fiction in our time. With The Gun Fight , he has marked the American Western in its newest and most important phase with his brand. Raw, rough, and real, the book resonates with the long sure role of history." --Loren D. Estleman, author of Frames "Written in the traditional Western style, this substantive story addresses several moral issues, and the rather illusive term 'honor' is made crystal clear . . . An action-packed, suspenseful tale." -- School Library Journal " The Gun Fight is another western triumph for Richard Matheson, to add to his Spur-winning Journal of the Gun Years. " --Norman Zollinger, author of The Road to Santa Fe "In just three days, gossip leaves a trail of wrecked lives, death, and life-long remorse. By the author of Journal of the Gun Years, this is a superbly written suspense story with a moral." -- Library Journal "Richard Matheson packs The Gun Fight with enough real people, plot twists and authentic western color to make this the equal of his Spur-winning Journal of the Gun Years. This is a very, very good book." --Ed Gorman, author of Fools Rush In "Any novel bearing the name Richard Matheson is going to be breathtakingly good. No one writes better." --Richard Wheeler, author of North Star
