SynopsisThe 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 title story "With These Hands" is a powerful tale that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit, as an oil company executive finds himself the sole survivor of an Arctic plane crash. Fighting for his life against the perilous cold and looming starvation, he resists the temptation to surrender to death--only to discover a life-affirming strength he never knew he had. Vivid in scope and displaying the diverse talents of a master storyteller, the stories in With These Hands are certain to be treasured by both old and new fans, celebrating the incomparable imagination of a timeless American author. From the Hardcover edition.
"With These Hands" by Louis Lamour is an excellent volume of his short stories. It has some stories that were published after Lamour passed. Published in 2002 by his son, Beau Lamour, as explained in the Afterword; these short stories were never before published until 2002. Lamour pulls together his well-known action sequences and keeps you wanting more as you read these amazing short stories which includes "Gloves for a Tiger" the second short story that Louis Lamour ever sold! You won't regret buying and reading this collection of Lamour short stories. They do indeed speak volumes about the writing ability of a prolific author and one of the most dynamic American short story and novel craftsmen our writing community has ever known.
Mostly new, at least to me, short stories from Louis L'Amour.
Title story was somewhat different, but still good. Would recommend for L'Amour readers.
Also explains issues of surviving after disaster/crash, especially in cold weather.
Especially interesting as Missouri is currently undergoing flooding (mostly over where I live), which has some similar issues.
