A Man Called Trent

A Western Duo

De: Louis L'Amour

Narrado por: Jim Gough

Here are two exciting stories featuring Lance Kilkenny by beloved Western writer Louis L'Amour.

In "A Man Called Trent", nester Dick Moffitt lies dead, 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.

In "The Rider of Lost Creek," Lance Kilkenny is the fastest gun in the West, but once the gunfight is over, he disappears. Some time back, Mort Davis saved Kilkenny's life. Now Davis needs Kilkenny's help with a pair of feuding ranchers taking over his property.

Kilkenny Brought to Life Through Good Narration!

One of my favorite Louis L'Amour western heroes is quiet gunfighter, Lance Kilkenny. L'Amour wrote a trilogy and a few short stories featuring this hero and I have re-read them several times. I was thrilled to catch the first two books in the trilogy put together in audio and on sale.

This is the Blackstone Audio Edition and the fabulous Jim Gough narrated. Oh, and just in case yours ends up like mine, the first book in the series, The Rider of Lost Creek and the second, Mountain Valley War, are in reverse order when you click play. No biggie. I just needed to jump to the middle.

The Rider of Lost Creek introduces the illusive gunfighter Kilkenny when a range war on the Texas border brings him to the aid of a friend. He soon discovers that there is more going on behind the scenes and the range war might just be the surface not to mention a cold-hearted back-shooting killer is loose on the land. Kilkenny has to be quick with his guns and his mind to keep the situation from turning into a blood bath. At the heart of it all, is Apple Canyon where outlaws hang out and a gorgeous woman who can make even Kilkenny's heart beat faster.

The Mountain Valley War sees Kilkenny homesteading peacefully up in a lush mountain valley and not looking for trouble. Then a big ranching operation down in the lowlands figures out that the water and situation is much better in the higher valleys and sets out to drive out Lance and the other homesteaders. Kilkenny must sling on his gunbelt once again and go to war when innocents start getting gunned down by guns for hire. And, he may not be drifting at the end of this battle since the lovely Nita Riordan has waited for him long enough.

Jim Gough was a good match for these old-style westerns and I thoroughly enjoyed his lively rendition of both stories. I was glad to have a consistent narrator for both stories since a handful of recurring characters including Kilkenny are present in both.

This was quintessential western and just as enjoyable as the first time I encountered them. I love the development of Kilkenny's character even if the others are developed lesser so, the mystery and romance that are often present, but always the thoughtful, descriptive moments and the gritty action scenes.

A man called Trent

This Book is very good. There is two stories in it. KilKenny is an excellent gunfighter. This book will keep your interest from start to finish. I highly recommend this book. Jim Gough is an excellent narriater. He has a good western voice. This is my first book on Kilkenny I will get all books about him

Thank you.

I thought I had read them all

I thought I had read all of the Louis L'Amour books but I didn't remember this one. There are some things about the storyline that I don't like, such as ideas and antagonists that are forgotten and unresolved as new ideas and antagonists come into the story. Overall I liked the story but it won't make my top 10.

Great book

I love this book . I love all of his books. Would like to have more.

classic western

Loved the novels. classic and good to listen to as any of his works are.

Amazing job on the double audiobook

This was a very good idea for a new book for western audio and It was a easy visual read

L'Amour does it again

I am reminded why this is my favorite western author. This book really takes you there, introducing yet another six shooting hero.

Good!

It's a good solid western story. I enjoyed it in spite of the fact that the old cowboy who read it, read the words more than sentences or the story as a whole. He both set the western mood and chopped up the flow.

Flipped!

I’ve been a lifelong Louis L’Amour reader. I thoroughly enjoyed these audio versions. However, as compiled in this volume, I think they should be presented in reverse order!

Awesome Kilkenny story

Like this story and have always enjoyed Louis La’mour books. So sorry there are not more books by him.
