Guns of the Waste Land

By: Butts, Leverett

Guns of the Waste Land is an epic retelling of Arthurian Legend in an American Western setting.

In the late 1800s just outside the Texas town of Bretton, four men wander the American desert:

Percy Murratt seeks Sheriff Ardiss Drake to learn the fate of his late father. Meanwhile, Ardiss' deputies, Gary Wayne Orkney and Boris McAllister, are in the pursuit of Ardiss' best friend and former chief deputy, Lancaster O'Loch, who has seduced and stolen Ardiss' wife, Guernica.

Featuring a host of familiar characters reminiscent of Gawain, the Green Knight, Lancelot, Merlin and, of course, King Arthur, Guns of the Waste Land is a timeless adventure of chivalry, revenge, and honor.

Follow Percy and company on their epic quest as they traverse the frontier of the American West, in pursuit of their own Holy Grails.
This omnibus edition collects all four volumes of the epic, the original prologue, a new sequel story, and appendices.

Praise for Guns of the Waste Land:

Guns of the Waste Land "impressed the hell out of me with its inventiveness and wonderfully colorful dialogue, ...] you may have a genuine classic on your hands." - T.E.D. Klein, author of Dark Gods and The Ceremonies

"Leverett Butts is a real talent. His Guns of the Waste Land is an original way to use a genre. I like a guy who has a mad literary streak and walks the wobbly tightrope: Leverett has gotten across." - Richard Monaco, author of Parsival, Or a Knight's Tale

"Leverett Butts is a true talent. He deftly takes the familiar legends, casts them into the mythic American West, and creates one of the most original retellings of King Arthur in recent memory." - Dacre Stoker, author of Dracula, the Un-Dead and Dracul
