The collected short stories of Louis L'Amour - Louis L'Amour

The fourth volume of Louis L'Amour's collected short stories features more than forty
of the master's greatest adventure tales in a keepsake edition to cherish for generations.
This unique collection gathers stories guaranteed to thrill and delight readers again
and again, establishing why Louis L'Amour is truly America's favorite storyteller.

Louis L'Amour's tales of adventure cannot be surpassed for sheer storytelling excitement,
and they stand as a testament to his legendary appeal. Here are timeless stories
of danger and daring, wanderlust and heroism, filled with ordinary men and women
facing often insurmountable challenges with courage, dignity, honor-and heart.

Perhaps
never before has a single volume contained so many breathtaking thrills: from the
down-on-his-luck fortune hunter who risks everything to save a diamond-hunting couple
walking straight into a jungle massacre to
the mystery "hero" aboard a downed commercial
plane dangling six hundred feet above certain doom. You'll trek across the harsh
steppes of East Asia with an American widow and her young son among a fierce nomadic
warrior people, and you'll relive a harrowing tale of survival at sea against thirst,
madness, and the elements as a common seaman redefines extraordinary courage as simply
"doing his job."

Whether joining an American captain running a cargo ship through
Japanese-controlled waters during World War II, only to find his vessel hijacked
by traitorous pirates, 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-laced tales of mystery, suspense, murder, and survival never let up and
will keep your heart pounding long after the final page.

From those numbering 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 Louis L'Amour his unique place among
American writers.
