A Lance Kilkenny Story

I found this to be a bit predictable, but still a very good audio dramatization. The characters were well cast, the audio was crisp and clear with great special effects and it played well in a car environment. Lance Kilkenny drifts into town (again) in bad need of a rest. But the town is anything but normal. Soon he finds himself mysteriously manoeuvred into a confrontation with the town marshal, but things are not as they seem! Well worth the purchase price. Run time: 1 hour. (From the Audio Rendition)

Vintage L'Amour I waited a long time for this.

I have read most of the western fiction written by Louis L'Amour and found this collection of short stories intriguing. There is a diverse mixture of characters & scenes and you want to just finish a story as soon as you start it. I look forward to reading the other new collections of his works.

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 justice to L'Amour's incontestable storytelling skills. Even if you're certain that you would never enjoy reading a western, give this book a try. You won't be disappointed
