Customer Reviews

Sackett Series

The Sackett series never disappoints. I am working my way through the series.All have been good. However the condition of this book was very disapointing.Cover was torn from sheer age,it looked like.It finally just tore in half.I read the book ,taped the cover and donated it.

The Sky Liners audio book

Like all the Louis L'Amour audio books, this one is also as good as it gets. No one can tell a story as well as Louis L'Amour. I particularly like the Sackett series, but his other audio books are also great. What a way to relieve the boredom of driving on a long trip.

Wounder Adventure

My Son and his friends, cain't wait for me to send a new book. They love the whold series.

The Skyliners

I'm just starting to read Westerns, and this was my first read of L'Amour. I found it to be quite entertaining. Humorous in parts, serious in others, L'Amour is a good storyteller, and I'll definitely try some of his other books.

An exciting saga of danger, dramatically narrated

The Sky-Liners is a gripping western audiobook by the celebrated author Louis L'Amour, about brave gunfighters from the Sackett clan who have their work cut out for them simply surviving against the deadliest and most expensive hired enemies. An exciting saga of danger dramatically narrated by Jason Culp, The Sky-Liners fully engage the listener in the thrill of combat, the taking of personal risks, and the determination to persevere no matter what. A "must" for all Louis L'Amour fans, as well as an ideal acquisition choice for community library audiobook collections, The Sky-Liners is a complete and unabridged, with four 1 hour cassettes in a sturdy book-size plastic shell casing.

In the Louis L'Amour tradition, another great Sackett story!

If you're a L'Amour fan all you need to know about this book (to want to read it) is that it's a "Sackett" story. If you like westerns in general this book can be your introduction to the world of Louis L'Amour, the greatest western writer of all time. The story, in itself, is not that unique but the telling of it is L'Amour gold. The Sacketts featured here, Galloway and Flagan, give you more laughs than other Sackett characters and even at their most serious, they entertain. This is a typical L'Amour read which is to say it is NOT a typical western. L'Amour's characters, and especially the Sacketts, show bravery, endurance, loyality and strength. Throughout this book, and any other by this author, you will find profound thoughts, wisdom and ideals to live by - all of this and more is in addition to an action oriented story that will keep you turning pages to the end. If you like this book, you'll want to read "Galloway" and all of the other Sackett novels. Louis L'Amour books become best friends to be revisted again and again. I've been reading his books for 35 years now and still find them exciting and somehow new.
