The Walking Drum (Louis L'Amour's Lost Treasures): A Novel
<b>As part of the Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures series, this edition contains exclusive bonus materials!</b><br /> <br />Louis L’Amour has been best known for his ability to capture the spirit and drama of the authentic American West. Now he guides his readers to an even more distant frontier—the enthralling lands of the twelfth century.<br /> <br />Warrior, lover, and scholar, Kerbouchard is a daring seeker of knowledge and fortune bound on a journey of enormous challenge, danger, and revenge. Across Europe, over the Russian steppes, and through the Byzantine wonders of Constantinople, Kerbouchard is thrust into the treacheries, passions, violence, and dazzling wonders of a magnificent time.<br /> <br />From castle to slave galley, from sword-racked battlefields to a princess’s secret chamber, and ultimately, to the impregnable fortress of the Valley of Assassins, <i>The Walking Drum</i> is a powerful adventure in an ancient world that you will find every bit as riveting as Louis L’Amour’s stories of the American West.<br /><br /><b>Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures is a project created to release some of the author’s more unconventional manuscripts from the family archives.</b><br /> <br /><b>In <i>Louis L’Amour’s Lost Treasures: Volumes 1</i> and <i>2,</i> Beau L’Amour takes the reader on a guided tour through many of the finished and unfinished short stories, novels, and treatments that his father was never able to publish during his lifetime. L’Amour’s never-before-seen first novel, <i>No Traveller Returns,</i> faithfully completed for this program, is a voyage into danger and violence on the high seas.</b> <br /> <br /><b>Additionally, many beloved classics will be rereleased with an exclusive Lost Treasures postscript featuring previously unpublished material, including outlines, plot notes, and alternate drafts. These postscripts tell the story behind the stories that millions of readers have come to know and cherish.</b>
