Publisher's Synopsis
Sequel to 'The Shootist' by Glendon Swarthout. Young Gillom Rogers has just given the coup de grace to a famous gunfighter involved in a bloody saloon shootout in 1901 El Paso, Texas. After swiping J.B. Books' matched Remington pistols off his body, Gillom thinks he may be able to ride this spectacle to fame and glory as the last shootlist. But Gillom is an 18-year-old with lots of growing up to do, and showing off his new pistols quickly gets him into a gunfight he didn't bargain for. Gillom sets out for adventure, determined to become a shootist like his hero, John Bernard Books. On his dangerous journey into manhood, he runs into yellow journalists, a New Mexican horse breaker, and a train robber.
