Actually, any of Gemmell books would do. They all seem to weave this subject (flawed hero finding redemption through great acts) into the story even when it isn't the story main focus. In particular try the waylander series.
Also Stephen King The Gunslinger (part one of the Dark Tower Series). I didn't like how the series turned out, but many do and you might. Anyway, it certainly fit the bill.
Hope this helps. |
Thanks Dave it was me reccomending Gemmel in the Scifi/fantasy thread that made me create this thread
Im a big Gemmel fan and am aware that I like the flawed hero genre so I started this western thread, If I hadnt already read them they'd be a great reccomendation.
Thanks all,
My Dad has some Lois L'amour so might pick one of those up but not really seeing anything that appeals yet.
