A Great Story That Makes You Grit Your Teeth, July 12 2000
This review is from: A Gun for Kilkenny (Audio Cassette)
This is one of those stories where you wonder how it can all come out all right. Where a multitude of wrongs must be resolved by someone willing to do right. A stranger comes to town and shortly after getting a drink is challenged by the town gun. The stranger comes out on top and everyone is convinced that the he is Kilkenny, the famous gun-fighter. The stranger does not correct their misconceptions. The town to show it's grattitude begins offering free food and services, and the stranger stays, but there are those who know how Lance Kilkenny operates and the stranger's behavior does not jive with their knowledge.
A great story made better with crisp, clear audio, special effects and well cast characters. The audio is easily heard in a car environment. Well worth the purchase price. Run time: 60 minutes.

"A Gun for Kilkenny" expands a brief L'Amour story for audio, April 27 1998
This review is from: A Gun for Kilkenny (Audio Cassette)
This audio adaptation of Louis L'Amour's brief tale "A Gun for Kilkenny" makes for exciting listening.
The original story, published in "Dutchman's Flat," is a straight narrative story with little dialog. For the tape, scenes have been expanded and a few characters added, but it remains faithful in spirit to the L'Amour original. Much of L'Amour's most colorful prose is preserved as well.
The result is an engrossing, well-acted audio that should please L'Amour fans and general audiences as well.
