Product Description

Lance Kilkenny has a debt to pay, and he isn’t about to let the friend who saved his life go down in a range war. But when Kilkenny tries to stop the fighting, he finds there’s more at stake than land or wire. Whoever is stirring up trouble has big ideas for the Live Oak country—and an army of hired guns to back them up. Nita Riordan, the beautiful and fiery owner of the Apple Canyon Saloon, warns Lance that the mysterious man orchestrating the conflict wants him dead. Lance realizes that if he doesn’t watch his step, he’ll pay the debt he owes with his own blood. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars Louis L'Amour Misses the Mark., Oct 23 2002
By Robert S. Clay Jr. (St. Louis, MO., USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Rider of Lost Creek (Paperback)
Gunfighter Lance Kilkenny wades into a range war in the Live Oak country. To state the obvious, Western novels can be either entertaining or dull. Beware the predictable mixture as before product. This story begins with great promise, but falters along the way. The reader expects an exciting tale of cattlemen, barbed wire, and blazing sixguns in the Texas Cow Country. Oddly, a murder mystery gets in the way of the action. Since the plot can't decide between a range war and a whodunit, diminished reading pleasure results. There is some action and suspense, of course, but it loses its punch from a logical story perspective. L'Amour typically enriches his Westerns with enough authentic historical detail to stand above the familiar "a man, a horse, and a gun" formula. This novel is a second-string effort by the Master of the West. It may please dedicated fans, but casual readers beware. ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Well told tale, April 3 2000
By "ofurstinn" (Seltjarnarnes Iceland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rider of Lost Creek (Paperback)
The first of the three novels (that I know of) about Lance Kilkenny, an honest man with an unwanted reputation as a gunfighter. In this one he rides to help a friend who is cought in the middle of a range war, but as Kilkenny finds out, there is a lot more going on than just a range war. This is a good and entertaining novel which introduces the characters that apear again in "The Mountain Vally War" and "Kilkenny" This one I've read three times, already, and am sure to read it again and again in the years to come. It's a well told tale in Louis L'Amour's unequaled style and filled with well crafted characters. I reckomend it, also the other two Kilkenny novels, they to are more than worth every page.
