books by Louis L'Amour     books:       End of the Drive6 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1998 Vintage Louie Lamour A most splendid collection of short stories from America's premier storyteller. Reading these newly discovered stories made me realize how sad it is that we will never again be rewarded with his true brand of genius. The novel at the end "Rustler Roundup" was superb. I truly hope his spirit and love of the Old West will forever live on             May There Be a Road9 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 2002 Wide Range of Exciting Adventure/Human Interest Stories This is my first Louis L'Amour book and certainly not my last. I prefer short stories because I can read each quickly and not be caught up for too many hours, trying to find out what happened. All ten short stories captured my interest and each was very different from the other, altogther a thoroughly enjoyable read. The main appeal of this compilation for me is the wide range of stories that ...             Under the Sweetwater Rim3 reviews Louis L'Amour Corgi Books, 1971 Vintage L'Amour - 'Sweet water' is sweet reading Has Louis L'Amour ever written a bad book? If so, I have never read one, and in fact this is one of his best. The setting is deep in Indian country - 200 miles west of Fort Laramie and right from the start the master of the western genre has your concentration as much as a wagon master going through hostile territory. In fact that's how the story starts with a grisly massacre of a wagon train ...             Off the Mangrove Coast5 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 2001 Fine stories of courage and adventure Louis L'Amour was one of the great writers of modern times, and he is sorely missed by everyone that loves a good story. This book is one of the best collections of his short stories, some of them never before published. His books and stories are often filled with a deep sense of justice, and the ultimate triumph of all that is right. The stories in "Off The Mangrove Coast", follow that ...             Beyond the Great Snow Mountains9 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 2000 Vintage L'Amour that keeps on pleasing, great read! I started with Louis L'Amour when I was 13. I'm 50 now and he still gives me immense satisfaction. His books, all of them, grace my small home library and they are somewhat dog-eared from the many times I've re-read them. "Beyond" is a small compilation of short stories that are pure enterntainment and L'Amour at his best. He takes you to places you will probably never visit, introduces you ...             Law of the Desert Born Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1984 These stories represent Louis L'Amour at his best--stirring adventure tales of the ageless Old West, as tough and gritty as the men who tames it. Each story is personally selected, with an introduction and special historical notes, by the author. Meet men like Shad Marone, the gunfighter who killed in self-defense, but who is forced to run because he killed the wrong man--the sheriff's brother; Matt Sabre, as tough as the Texas trail he rides, ...             Monument Rock3 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1999 A monument to a great writer This newest collection of stories written by Louis L"Amour brings back several favorite characters such as "Kilkenny" and the "Cactus Kid". I really enjoyed the stories and the nostalgia they brought to my mind of the wild west and how life used to be.             West of Dodge3 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1997 Irresistible westerns by a master American storyteller. These recently discovered stories by the grand master of frontier fiction offer some of the most irresistible pleasure reading in any genre. L'Amour never wastes a syllable creating vivid characters, authentic settings, bull's eye plots, and timeless themes. Some readers might object to the now politically incorrect cowboys, guns, stagecoach robberies, and silver miners, but that's not doing ...             Valley of the Sun3 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1996 GREAT Valley of the Sun contains wonderful storys that you can read again and again. They are to the point, sharp and concise. If you have not traveled to Arizonia or New Mexico all you have to do is read this book. Pay close attention to L'Amour's descriptions and you will be able to save your money or you will want to go so bad you can not stand it. The storys in this book are fun and easy to read. I ...             West from Singapore4 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1987 A refreshing change of pace. Written in the period of time BEFORE the US entered WWII. A most refreshing change of pace. I originally checked this book out at the library and once I read it I had to buy it. The writing is everything you expect from Louis L'Amour except that it takes place on the seas and islands of singapore circa 1935 - 1941, instead of the American west of 1865 - 1895. You can tell (if you did not ...             Westward the Tide7 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam Books, 1980 One of my most favorite Louis L'Amour westerns! Just one look at the beautiful and spirited Jacquine Coyle and Matt Bardoul knew that she was the woman for him. So when he finds out that she and her father and brother are planning to go on a wagon train, he decides to go along too. When he first learns about the wagon train heading for the rich pasture of the Big Horns and the gold which would be plentiful there, he finds nothing wrong. But ...             Last of the Breed73 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1987 Frozen Trip Louis L'Amour was writing at the top of his game in the years prior to his death. LAST OF THE BREED is one of the finest examples of his story telling skills as he took the American West to Siberia. This story was written before the opening of the Iron Curtain revealed the kidnapping of American pilots by the Soviets, which is another reason it is so intriguing. Joseph "Joe Mack" Makatozi is a ...             Lando5 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam Books, 1982 Landois a Winner! I was reading over some of these reviews and saw that some readers had given Lando a luke warm rating. Had to put in my own two cents. I thought Lando was flat out terrific! This character is a bit different than many of Louis L'Amour's main men, and I liked the differences. Lando is full of action and the fist fighting scenes are top notch.... the best. I've read perhaps a hundred of ...             With These Hands4 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 2003 L'Amour isn't just about westerns I bought "With These Hands" on a whim during a trip to a local store. For some time I have had the idea floating around the periphery of my mind to actually read something, anything, from Louis L'Amour. He is immensely popular through his western themed books, most of which are still in print. The back cover of this book says there are 270 million of his books floating around out there. Can you ...             The Sackett Brand (The Sacketts, 7)14 reviews Louis L'amour Bantam Books, 1971 The Sackett Brand This novel sticks to your fingers and is difficult to put down. Join Tell as he struggles to survive. His future destroyed, Ange murdered, hunted and harried he eventually reaches safety. As soon as able he continues searching for her killer. A few letters from a friend bring other members of the clan riding to his aid. An explosive finish grips you by the seat of the pants. Family values ...             Tales from the Trail: Two by Louis L'Amour Louis L'Amour Blackstone Audio Inc., 2007 "Grub Line Rider" Most folks would call Kim Sartain an easygoing, peace-loving man. But the few who crossed the young drifter knew there was nothing he liked better than a good fight. When cattleman Jim Targ challenges Sartain's right to ride across an unclaimed stretch of meadow, Sartain decides he'll do better than ride through; he'll put down stakes there and homestead the land. Soon there's more at risk than land and pride when Targ hires a ...             Tall Stranger4 reviews Louis L'Amour Fawcett, 1977 A good book. Not one of L'amours best books, but still good             Dutchman's Flat2 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1986 Short Stories are Good if you are in a Hurry If you are in a hurry or you have extremely limited time for reading, the short story is for you. It is also good if you are a beginning reader. It is easy to finish a story quickly and therefore not lose the plot. Each story has a totally different plot and characters and it is easy to put it down a few days and then pick it up again and read. In this book, there are eleven different stories. ...             The Daybreakers (The Louis L'Amour Collection)11 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam Doubleday Dell, 1981 Well, what do you want, anyway?? I give this novel five stars, but with a sigh and a caveat. You can't compare L'Amour to anyone but authors in the Western genre, and he is head and shoulders above most of them. I have read many books in my day; some of them uplift me, some of them have changed me, some of them have made me a better person. Louis L'Amour's books will do none of these things...BUT! You will seldom find a more ...             The Walking Drum: (Leatherette Binding) (Louis L'Amour Hardcover Collection)81 reviews Louis L'Amour Bantam, 1985 Trade Caravans Adventure deep into the early development of trade routes to the East during the late middle ages.
