Charlie Power has just insured that justice will be served to three
hardened murderers. However, by doing so, he has set the stage for
his own murder trial.
Although neither his friends nor his enemies realize it, Charlie
has a secret identity. Under the name Talking Fire Hand, given to
him by his Indian teachers, he's known throughout the West as a
lightning-fast gunfighter, a skilled tracker, and an expert
woodsman.
When he finds an Indian maiden who is hurt, helpless, and,
unfortunately, alone, he tries to help her by using the skills
learned from his missionary parents to doctor her wounds. Once they
travel through the Indians' territory to the next town, he
discovers that he'll have to protect her from those who might want
to take advantage of her. He must consider his Christian values to
potentially save his life, when he discovers that the only path
that God has left open to him is to surrender to the forces that
are trying to kill him and trust in his God for rescue.
Louis L'Amour's world is built on those dramatic moments when men
and women cast their fears, doubts, and pasts behind them and
plunge into the unknown-into split-second decisions with
life-and-death consequences. Nowhere is that more evident than in
this latest collection of stories set on the American frontier.
Here L'Amour takes us across a bold, beautifully rendered landscape
where strangers may come to trust-or kill-one another; where old
scores haunt new lives and the wrong choice leaves unwitting
victims. Even at the best of times, this is a world in which every
man and woman must be responsible for their own survival.
This keepsake volume features unforgettable moments and timeless
characters. From fugitives to visionaries, from fortune seekers and
drifters seeking a new life to young women trying to build homes in
an all too often lawless world, the characters in these
pulse-pounding stories are vintage L'Amour. Together in this vivid,
rollicking collection of stories, they bring to life the American
spirit and confirm Louis L'Amour's place at the very top of the
pantheon of American writers.
