Flint by Louis L'Amour

poast-bortem!

I'm a pretty big fan of western novels. I recently finished Louis L'Amour's "Flint." For anyone who doesn't know Louis, he's been called America's best western writer. Here's his wiki page is anyone who is interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_L'Amour

Here's a summary of the book I took from his website:

He left the West at the age of seventeen, leaving behind a rootless past and a bloody trail of violence. In the East he became one of the wealthiest financiers in America—and one of the most feared and hated.

Now, suffering from incurable cancer, he has come back to New Mexico to die alone. But when an all-out range war erupts, Flint chooses to help Nancy Kerrigan, a local rancher. A cold-eyed speculator is setting up the land swindle of a lifetime, and Buckdun, a notorious assassin, is there to back his play.

Flint alone can help Nancy save her ranch…with his cash, his connections—and his gun. He still has his legendary will to fight. All he needs is time, and that's fast running out….

So yeah, it's a fun, easy read, and most of the characters are kickass in their own way.

I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys this sort of novel.

I listened to his Sackett series Audio Books. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately I couldn't download the full torrent and the series was too big. I plan to find the books and read them.
