Publisher Description
Here are two exciting stories featuring Lance Kilkenny by beloved Western writer Louis L'Amour
In "A Man Called Trent," nester Dick Moffitt lies dead, killed by King Bill Hale's riders. His son Jack and adopted daughter Sally, who witnessed the murder, go for safety to a cabin owned by a man called "Trent"—an alias for Kilkenny, who is seeking to escape his reputation as a gunfighter.
In "The Rider of Lost Creek," Lance Kilkenny is the fastest gun in the West, but once the gunfight is over, he disappears. Some time back, Mort Davis saved Kilkenny's life. Now Davis needs Kilkenny's help with a pair of feuding ranchers taking over his property.

Quotes
-
“[Taken from their] first publication in West magazine in 1947…this is early, pulpy L’Amour, but Western readers will love it.”
— Booklist -
“Dynamically narrated by Jim Gough…The drama comes alive through Austin native Jim Gough’s engrossing presentation, and L’Amour’s painstaking attention to detail and realism.”

A Man Called Trent Listener Reviews
-
" The first story was so unbelievable and poorly written, that I did not even bother to listen to the 2nd story of the series. Not L'Amour's best work. "

" Nice western. It was a little corny, but not enough to ruin it. I did not, however, like the reader. "
— Barbara, 9/19/2009 -
" A follow-up to L'Amour's "The Rider of Lost Creek". This novel again features Lance Kilkenny, a "good" gunfighter, as he moves to a new location to settle another war between western cattlemen in the 1880s. Great fun. "
— Craig, 8/28/2009 -
" Discovered it's a re-release of 2 novellas I have read. I wish publishers wouldn't do this... "
— Maurynne, 3/11/2009 -
" I just wanted something easy to read and to try out the Library2go options. I enjoyed the book, though it was somewhat predictable. "
