Publisher's Summary:
Legend has it that bank robber Harry Longbaugh and his partner Robert Parker were killed in a shootout in Bolivia. That was the supposed end of the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy. Sundance tells a different story.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Longbaugh is very much alive, though serving in a Wyoming prison under an alias. When he is released in 1913, Longbaugh reenters a changed world. What hasn't changed are Longbaugh's ingenuity, his deadly aim, and his and his love for his wife Etta Place.
Determined to find her, Longbaugh follows her trail to New York City. Confounded by the city's immensity, energy, chaos, and crowds, Longbaugh finds himself in a tense game of cat and mouse, racing against time before the legend of the Sundance Kid catches up to destroy him.

What if....?
Who has not read a novel or viewed a movie, that when the book ends or the credits roll, you wonder, "Yeah, but what happens next? Where does the story go from here?" The popular seventies movie, "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" probably didn't inspire such questions, as the visually conclusive freeze-frame pretty much summed it up, "The End." But the reliance of the screenwriter on information, second or third-hand reports from the early 20th century Bolivian jungle might not have been, shall we say, accurate.
David Fuller's "Sundance," is all about "What if," as Harry Longbaugh strolls out of a dusty western prison into a dusty western saloon and the Sundance Kid rides again. Fuller's novel is fast-moving, informative and suprising as Harry learns to navigate New York City as it explodes into the modern world waiting for the first Great War.
For fans of the movies there is enough hat-tipping, for readers new to the story, it is, like Harry Longbaugh, standing alone.
Sundance, not just a western anymore!!!
For those of you who are expecting a Western from looking at the cover, you might be surprised. Once you dive into David Fuller's portrayal of Kid's quest to find Etta, you will be transported to New York in the early 1900s. Wonderfully scripted, this love story takes you on a journey that is thrilling and absorbing. Fuller's novel encapsulates the evolution of New York at a crucial time in its history.
Fantastic read!!!
thoroughly enjoyable read
I've loved Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for many years and this was a fun way to imagine how Harry's life might have played out. Historical fiction is a genre I love and this provoked me to read more about the New York of the early 1900s and the run-up to World War I. Thanks, Dave!
Simply amazing
This book had my imagination from the first page. it was a beautifully written novel and an amazing alternate reality. I can't stress enough how great a book this was!!!!!
An Enjoyable Easy Read On Many Levels
An "old West" gunfighter in prison for 12 years, released into a newly industrialized world that he doesn't understand.
The romance of a man looking for his lost love. The mystery/suspense of a strong man moving against powerful harmful forces. The background of teeming 1913 New York City. All this mixed with accuracy and a swift plot that completely engaged this reader.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking to just hunker down for a few hours of enjoyable diversion. .
