About this audiobook
A PRIZED COLLECTION OF AMERICAN FICTION-FROM AMERICA'S FAVORITE STORYTELLER
This first-rate collection of short stories by the incomparable Louis L'Amour showcases the legendary writer at his very best: spinning a fascinating and wholly authentic set of unforgettable tales. In these extraordinary stories, we meet a man who is forced to defend himself by taking another's life-and must pay for his actions in a most punishing manner; a young thrill-seeker who finally finds a place he can call home, and vows to stay there-regardless of the man who tries to stand in his way; and a drifter who honors a deathbed promise to a stranger by embarking on an unlikely mission of mercy.
Complete with revealing author's notes, the stories in Law of the Desert Born are historically precise, and filled with L'Amour's trademark humor and adventure. They are nothing less than modern classics of the American West, told by one of the most beloved storytellers of our time.
From the Paperback edition.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Terrific short story collection.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a hard book to review, especially by someone who is a neophyte when it comes to graphic novels.I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of L'Amour. I would just caution them to approach this novel with a completely open mind and recognize that it is a visual interpretation of the author's story and as such, should be judged completely on it's own merits and not compared at all to the written work.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is an above-average collection of short stories by that iconic Western author. Included are two stories about Mathurin "Matt" Sabre, and one with Kim Sartain, familiar to those who have read stories of Ward McQueen from the Tumbling K ranch. Included, too, is the gripping "Trap of Gold", also in the "War Party" collection. Not a lame steer in this bunch, recommended to any who just like a good short story.Note: this is the original book, and should not be confused with the graphic novel, also reviewed here.
