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's matched Remington pistols off his body, Gillom thinks he may be able to ride this spectacle to fame and glory as the last shootist. But Gillom is an eighteen-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. When he meets a Hispanic saloon dancer named Anel in the booming copper mining town of Bisbee, Arizona, Gillom Rogers is forced to reconsider what kind of man he really wants to be.
Miles Swarthout's The Last Shootist is the sequel to one of the most famous Westerns ever written, and concludes the tale of a junior shootist's coming-of-age in a dazzling gunfight in a deadly pimp's whorehouse, as a trio of fiery teenagers ride hard into a new twentieth century.

It is a rare feat when a sequel tops the original--particularly when the original (The Shootist) is a bona fide classic--but The Last Shootist has done just that. Swarthout's development of each of the main characters is superb, and for sure I can't imagine a better depiction of an eighteen-year-old protagonist. The dialogue is equally superb. Not only is the story line compelling from start to finish, but its pace is brisk throughout--literally never a dull moment. Finally, Swarthout manages to pull off a dramatic, surprising and satisfying ending. This book easily merits a five-star rating and, in my view, is nothing short of a new Western classic.

By non-tech guy The worst I can say about this book is to point out that it would likely never have been published had the author had not been the son of great Glendon Swarthout and played off his father's literary triumph "the shootist', He does not know the first thing about story telling. And apparently he thinks that it a proper western so long as the author names every piece of a saddle and include fist and gun fights. This is the only western I have read, and I have read a great many, where the author felt the need to lean on pornographic prose to keep the reader's interest. With so many western that have achieve the status of great literature, there's no excuse to pick this book up.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Attempt that falls short By Robert E. Skinner Miles Swarthout has written a sequel of sorts to his father's The Shootist, but it falls short of the standard set by Glendon Swarthout. The main character, Gillom Rogers, doesn't really resemble the character as originally described in Glendon Swarthout's classic western novel. He makes choices and commits actions for which the author provides no reasonable explanation. His character is poorly developed and the climax seems forced. Swarthout wants to be a writer on par with his late father, but this novel suggests that he needs a lot more writing experience. It was a mistake for him to attempt something as ambitious as he did here.
