SPIRITED AMERICAN STORIES GATHERED TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME
From the coasts of Brazil to the borders of Tibet to the very
heartland of America, May There Be a Road gathers ten previously
uncollected stories that capture the magnificent scope and sense of
epic adventure that epitomize Louis L'Amour classic fiction. In
these vivid settings L'Amour takes us into the pivotal moments when
lives are altered forever, when men and women face a deadly enemy,
find a kindred spirit, or confront their own mortality. Among the
unforgettable characters we meet here are a hard-living,
hard-drinking freighter captain whose penchant for flying may
change the course of World War II . . . A lonely frontiersman who
unexpectedly finds himself the protector of two orphans . . . A
boxer who accepts a gambler's payoff and then must fight to redeem
himself . . . A detective willing to believe an unproven story in
order to discover a painful truth hidden in a small town. And in
the title story L'Amour weaves the powerful tale of a young Tibetan
khan who leads a band of horsemen on a daring escape across
treacherous mountain terrain. At stake is the survival of a people
and an ancient way of life. Evoking the American spirit of bravery,
pride, adventure, and self-reliance as few writers have, this
extraordinary volume proves once again that L'Amour has set a
standard yet to be matched.
