The Gunslinger is a wonderful Western Sci-Fi novel. A lone Gunslinger walks a vast desert in search of his nemesis. On his journey he encounters a unique cast of characters, from his friends in what appears to be a Medieval type walled city, to a ragtag group of individuals in a western town, to a young boy named Jake. His relationship with Jake is very interesting, he starts off a little cold but warms up to the boy very quickly, becoming a sort of father figure to Jake and learning his past and sharing his. The novel ends in a fantastic set up for the future series.
