Publisher's summary
Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their palatial home in England to explore the frontier and to broaden the horizons of their children, who include Tasmin, a budding young woman of grit, beauty, and determination, her vivacious and difficult sister, and her brother.
As they journey by rough stages up the Missouri River, they meet with all the dangers, difficulties, temptations, and awesome natural scenery of the untamed West.
At the very core of the story is Tasmin's fast-developing relationship with Jim Snow, frontiersman, ferocious Indian fighter, and part-time preacher. Known up and down the Missouri as "the Sin Killer," he's the handsome, silent Westerner who eventually captures her heart.
Against the immense backdrop of the American West, Larry McMurtry tracks this engaging family as they make their way up the great river, surviving attacks, discomfort, savage weather, and natural disaster. Sin Killer is an adventure story full of incident, and suspense, as well as a charming love story between a headstrong and aristocratic young Englishwoman and the stubborn, shy, and very American Jim Snow. As big as the West itself, this is the kind of story that only Larry McMurtry can write.

Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries. Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive.

Custer, a complex man who has captivated historians for over a century.

When he finds a local hunting outfitter dead, splayed out on the woodpile behind his state-owned home, he takes it personally. There had to be a reason that the outfitter, with whom he's had run-ins before, chose his backyard, his woodpile to die in.

Story
This magnificent novel - which secured for its author the 1955 Nobel Prize in Literature - is now available to contemporary American audiences. Although it is set in the early 20th century, it recalls both Iceland's medieval epics and such classics as Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter. And if Bjartur of Summerhouses, the book's protagonist, is an ordinary sheep farmer, his flinty determination to achieve independence is genuinely heroic and, at the same time, terrifying and bleakly comic.

Story
"To Build a Fire" is the best known of all London's stories. It tells the story of a new arrival to the Klondike who stubbornly ignores warnings about the folly of traveling alone. He falls through the ice into a creek in 70-below weather, and his survival depends on being able to build a fire and dry his clothes - which he is unable to do. The famous version of this story was published in 1908.

Early's uncle, Jesse, thinks he has the solution: to head West and dig for gold. Fueled by reports of prospectors striking it rich in the Rocky Mountains, Jesse can't think about anything but gold. Early is wild to go with him, as much for the adventure as for the gold. But the journey costs money - more than the boys can afford....

Now hailed as heroes for their days of subduing drunks in Abilene and Dodge - more often with a mean look than a pistol - Wyatt and Doc are living out the last days of a way of life that is passing into history, two men never more aware of the growing distance between their lives and their legends.

Women curiously outspoken
Has a lot of classic McMurtry western hallmarks, such as brute honesty in situations and honest sexual situations. However none of the characters are endearing unlike the Lonesome Dove series. Don't expect to be rooting for anyone. Based on that I'm not sure I'll continue with this series.
The women are curiously outspoken, perhaps because of their regal upbringing.

Any additional comments?
I don't want to answer all these questions. I am willing to do step one, but you won't let me submit just that. I want to spend my time reading or listening to the stories. It's not my desire or job to compare this book with others or performances with others or give you snappy tag lines for movies. Isn't that your job?

A Towering Achievement of Storytelling and Intrepretation
For fans of Lonesome Dove, the Berrybender Chronicles are equally magnificent as narrative, character study and storytelling. But Alfred Molina’s narration is so astoundingly good it was like seeing the greatest miniseries unfold before your eyes. I immediately purchased all four audio books and listened one after the other. I was sorry there was not a fifth! Bravo Alfred!

Second Listen
This is the second time I have listened to this story and I still find it wonderful. Nobody writes American West tales like Larry McMurray. This one weaves British visitors in and becomes tragic and wonderful at the same time. Alfred Molina is absolutely terrific at narrating. I had forgotten how good he is at making an absorbing production of the story. can't wait to listen to the rest of the trilogy.

Quirky and engaging dramady
I laughed out loud at these aristocratic "fish out of water" Brits taking on the Wild West. It's not precisely a comic novel, yet it's wry and fun, even as crises and disasters strike this ill-conceived expedition. An excellent reading enhanced the enjoyable story.
