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.
This collection of 35 frontier tales is the latest volume in a
series that will, when complete, anthologize all of L'Amours short
fiction, volume by handsome volume.
In Jubal Sackett, the second generation of Louis L'Amour's great
American family pursues a destiny in the wilderness of a sprawling
new land.
Jubal Sackett's urge to explore drove him westward, and when a
Natchez priest asks him to undertake a nearly impossible quest,
Sackett ventures into the endless grassy plains the Indians call
the Far Seeing Lands. He seeks a Natchez exploration party and its
leader, Itchakomi. It is she who will rule her people when their
aging chief dies, but first she must vanquish her rival, the
arrogant warrior Kapata. Sackett's quest will bring him danger from
an implacable enemy . . . and show him a life--and a woman--worth
dying for.

It was just a godforsaken mountainside, but no place on earth was richer in silver. For a bustling, enterprising America, this was the great bonanza. The dreamers, the restless, the builders, the vultures--they were lured by the glittering promise of instant riches and survived the brutal hardships of a mining camp to raise a legendary boom town. But some sought more than wealth. Val Trevallion, a loner haunted by a violent past. Grita Redaway, a radiantly beautiful actress driven by an unfulfilled need. Two fiercely independent spirits, together they rose above the challenges of the Comstock to stake a bold claim on the future.

brother must sail to the exotic West Indies.

world--a world where one false move means instant death.

It seemed the perfect place to lie low. The owner of the ranch was an attractive gray-haired lady who had once been an actress. The other woman was a beautiful, fragile-seeming blonde. They needed repairs done, and he needed to disappear for a while.
The first sign that things were not as they should be was when a Pinkerton man questioned him about a missing woman. Then he accidentally found a will belonging to the previous owner of the ranch. After that, a young lady showed up in town making claims that the place belonged to her.
Worried that his hideout was turning into a battleground, he didn't know what would be more dangerous, staying or leaving. For a man interested only in passin' through, he suddenly found himself entangled in a deadly struggle. . . .
