The stories of Louis L’Amour are built around the 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 quintessential collection of stories set on the American frontier. Here L’Amour takes us across a bold, beautifully rendered landscape where old scores haunt new lives, the wrong choice leaves unwitting victims, and strangers may come to trust—or kill—one another. Fugitives, visionaries, fortune seekers, drifters, and young women trying to build homes on a lawless frontier, the characters in these pulse-pounding stories are vintage L’Amour. Together in this vivid, rollicking collection, they bring to life the spirit of adventure and confirm Louis L’Amour’s place in the pantheon of American writers.

"Unsurpassed for sheer storytelling excitement, Louis L'Amour's tales of adventure continue in this new paperback series. Whether joining an American captain navigating a cargo ship through pirate-infested Japanese-controlled waters during World War II or marveling at the resourcefulness of a young woman pushed to the limits of endurance as she flees a killer through a primeval forest, these adrenaline-fueled tales of mystery, suspense, murder, and survival will keep your heart pounding long after their final pages. From stories numbering just a few intense pages to novella-length works, the tales in this action-packed anthology bear all the trademarks of the master's touch: the historical accuracy, memorable characters, and timeless themes that have earned L'Amour his unique place among American authors."-- From back cover
