Trent

by Louis L'Amour

Kilkenny, the gunman had retired. He had helped tame the west and put down its desperados. He'd had enough of killing, gunsmoke and violence. Now Kilkenny had a cabin and the simple life he had always longed for. Until his friend Dick Moffitt's kids showed up. Bill Hale and his riders had killed Dick for his land. Dick's son Jack and adopted daughter Sally had witnessed the murder. Now Bill Hale and his men were hunting them down. It was one man against an army of riders. How far will a man go for a friend? For Trent it was all the way to hell ... and back!

About the author

Louis Dearborn L'Amour was an American novelist and short story writer. His books consisted primarily of Western novels, though he called his work "frontier stories". His most widely known Western fiction works include Last of the Breed, Hondo, Shalako, and the Sackett series. L'Amour also wrote historical fiction (The Walking Drum), science fiction (The Haunted Mesa), non-fiction (Frontier), and poetry and short-story collections. Many of his stories were made into films. His books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings. At the time of his death, almost all of his 105 existing works (89 novels, 14 short-story collections, and two full-length works of nonfiction) were still in print, and he was "one of the world's most popular writers".

An action packed L'Amour take.

This was one of the first L'Amour books I ever read. Tonight's reading just reinforced that thought. Fast paced with well detailed action. L'Amour brings the story to life. From the opening words to the grand finale, it keeps the reader glued to the story.

Good as always

Louis L'Amour was such a great writer and anyone who really likes western can not go wrong by reading his books. Gosh I've been reading his books for over 40 years and re reading him over time and time again.

Little interest here

Not the writing style that held my interest. Publisher needs to watch editing quality and spelling, however I only made it through 1 and 1/2 chapters.

A good story.

I have read a lot of Mr. L'Amour's stories. Always good reading. Well constructed and with good clean people. Good family literature.

I'd read this book a couple of years back.

But it was so good, I just kept on reading. I remembered most it, but was so glad to see it again, I finished it for the 2nd time.

Masterful

When you read a Louis L'Amour book you're reading history and western geography as well as some truly US philosophy.
Those who don't think a lot will still get a resoundingly good story. Those who ponder get a lot of food for thought.
