Guns of the Waste Land Leverett Butts

Guns of the Waste Land recasts the legends of King Arthur as an American Western. Set in the late 19th century outside the West Texas town of Bretton, this first volume tells the story of four men wandering the American desert: Percy Murratt leaves his home to find Sheriff Ardiss Drake and learn more about the kind of man his father was. Meanwhile, two of Ardiss' deputies, Gary Wayne Orkney and his best friend Boris Bennick, scour the wilderness in pursuit of vengeance and justice while the object of their search, Lancaster O'Loch flees for his life and that of his mistress (and Ardiss' wife), Guernica. Together these three tales begin an adventure of chivalry and honor as exciting as it is timeless. This new edition by Hold Fast Press includes a new Prologue: "What the Women Saw." Set twenty years before the time present of the series, this prologue both sets up the background and foreshadows the end of the series.
