The timeless fiction of Louis L'Amour is both unforgettable and undeniably American, deftly capturing the heroic bravery and intrepid spirit that make this nation great. L'Amour 's legacy of work remains unparalleled, setting a standard of excellence that few other writers have matched. Now With These Hands pulls together some of L'Amour's very best work--eleven newly rediscovered stories that have never before appeared in a single volume. WITH THESE HANDS From a South Seas island paradise to the icy reaches of the Arctic, from the dark, gritty streets of urban America to the rugged landscape of the untamed West, the stories gathered in With These Hands combine razor-sharp characters with breathtaking action and historic detail. Here are tales of adventure, mystery, passion, suspense, and the Old West as only L'Amour can tell them. The result is a collection that profoundly echoes the highs and lows of the human experience, while proving that life's most vital moments can occur when and where we least expect them. All of the classic L'Amour themes are represented: honor, loyalty, and standing up for what's right despite the odds. These dramatic stories grab hold of the reader with a power and immediacy unsurpassed by any other writer. An exotic island in the Coral Sea is transformed into a tropical nightmare when it's taken over by a band of hijackers--and only a daredevil pilot can stop their brutal carnage. A former boxer blows the lid off a vicious crime ring--and finds that his worst enemy is not a thug with a gun but his own tenacious curiosity. A down-on-his-luck rancher discovers the key to his own redemption--and desperately hopes that his revelation has not come too late for him to win the one thing he wants most of all. A private eye navigates the twists and turns of a labyrinthine whodunit--and proves that the greatest risk to a man's honor is his own greed.

The Lonely Men

Louis L'Amour's classic novels of the West make for perfect Father's Day gifts! • In The Lonely Men, Louis L'Amour spins the tale of a man who must elude an Apache trap-only to discover that his greatest enemy might be very close to home. Tell Sackett had fought his share of Indians and managed to take something of value from his battles: a deep and abiding respect. But that respect is lost when Apache braves kidnap his nephew, forcing Tell to cross the border into the Sierra Madres to bring the boy back. What troubles Tell more, though, is the boy's mother: Could she possibly be inventing a rescue mission to deliver her husband's brother into an ambush? Tell knows that the only things he can depend on are his wits and cold steel. But against such adversaries, even these formidable weapons may not be enough.

The second tale, Markheim, tells of a robber named Markheim who murders a shopkeeper on Christmas day. Award-winning British narrator Ralph Cosham does justice to these 2 bone-chilling tales.

Sharkman Six

Gavin Kelly is a young lieutenant in a seemingly impossible situation. A third generation Marine, his grandfather expects him to undo his father's cowardice in--and silence about--Vietnam. His best friend, a better Marine than he, lusts for the glory he believes Gavin will see. He's leading men with more years and experience than his own. And his duty as a leader of the US military's Operation Restore Hope is completely antithetical to his military instincts. Gavin Kelly was decorated in Desert Storm for those instincts, killing instincts, and now he finds himself in Somalia to keep the peace and restore the hope. But what, exactly, does a Marine's honor and duty have to do with peacekeeping? Minutes after landing on the Somali beach, one of his men kills a Somali. The circumstances are nebulous, and Kelly immediately finds himself in the center of a maelstrom involving an outcry from members of the international press corps (who anticipated the Marine landing with cameras and floodlights); censure and surveillance by his superiors; and the loyalty of his men--particularly the two men, powerful presences in the troop, who have perpetrated the killing and vouched for its necessity. And that's only the start. With a troop of trigger-happy, honor-hungry, less-than-respectful Marines behind him, Kelly faces the struggle of a lifetime. The country and his countrymen will test him arduously and often and, at steep cost, Gavin will learn to accept responsibility for himself, for his men, and for his legacy. With heart-pounding, intricate military detail, a rapier wit, and a keen sense of detail, SHARKMAN SIX appeals to military buffs and pacifists [readers] alike. In Gavin Kelly, West has created an authentic, sympathetic, and wholly compromised young officer of war who will put you in mind of the best of military heroes and antiheroes--John Yossarian meets Jack Ryan and then some.

La Vuelta Al Mundo En 80 Días

Las aventuras alrededor del mundo de un ingles. A Julio Verne le consideran como uno de los precursores de la novela de ficcion cientifica, por que escribio sobre temas como los viajes submarinos o la llegada a la luna, que en esos tiempos eran casi un imposible. Pero lo mas imposible de todo era hacer un viaje alrededor del mundo en poco menos de tres meses, mas cuando el viajero tiene que atravesar sitios salvajes perseguido por la policia y por eso las aventuras de Phileas Fogg, el caballero ingles que logro esa hazana, se convirtieron inmediatamente en la obra mas popular de Julio Verne. Aun hoy dia, cuando se puede dar la vuelta al mundo en una horas, ese libro sigue siendo popular, lo cual es un homenaje a las cualidades narrativas de Verne, que incluso han sido llevadas al cine.
