ReviewsL'Amour never writes with less than a saddle creak in his sentences and more often with a desert heat wave boiling up from a sun-baked paragraph. A master storyteller...for reading under the stars.
SynopsisWhen King Bill Hale's riders kill Dick Moffitt, the murder is witnessed by his 16-year-old adopted daughter Sally and his 14-year-old son, Jack. The teens hide for safety in a cabin owned by a man named Trent--who is seeking to escape his reputation as a gunfighter. But when push comes to shove, the truth comes out. Unabridged. 4 CDs., Set in New Mexico, A MAN CALLED TRENT opens to a nester named Dick Moffitt lying dead where he was killed by King Bill Hale's riders. Sally Crane, who is sixteen and was adopted by Moffitt, and Moffitt's fou8rteen-year-old Jack witnessed the murder from their hiding place., Early in Louis L'Amour's career, he wrote a number of novel-length stories for "pulp" western magazines. "I lived with my characters so closely that their lives were still as much a part of me as I was of them long after the issues in which they appeared went out of print," he said. "I wanted to tell the reader more about my people and why they did what they did." So he revised and expanded these magazine works to be published again as full-length novels. Here is one of his early creations, which have long been a source of great speculation and curiosity among his fans. A Man Called Trent opens on nester Dick Moffitt lying dead where he was killed by King Bill Hale's riders. His son Jack and adopted daughter Sally, who witnessed the murder, go for safety to a cabin owned by a man called "Trent"--an alias for Kilkenny, who is seeking to escape his reputation as a gunfighter.
