The collected short stories of louis l'amour, volume 5: frontier stories, paperback/louis l'amour

The stories of Louis LAmour 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 LAmour 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 LAmour.

Together in this vivid, rollicking collection, they bring to life the spirit of adventure and confirm Louis LAmours place in the pantheon of American writers.
