Eleven newly rediscovered stories that have never before appeared in a single volume.

The timeless fiction of Louis L'Amour

is both unforgettable and undeniably American,

deftly capturing the heroic bravery and intrepid spirit that make this nation great.

L'Amour 's legacy of work remains unparalleled, setting a standard of excellence

that few other writers have matched.

Now With These Hands pulls together some of

L'Amour's very best work-eleven newly rediscovered stories that have never before

appeared in a single volume.

From a South Seas island paradise to the icy reaches

of the Arctic, from the dark, gritty streets of urban America to the rugged landscape

of the untamed West, the stories gathered in With These Hands combine razor-sharp

characters with breathtaking action and historic detail.

Here are tales of adventure,

mystery, passion, suspense, and the Old West as only L'Amour

can tell them.

The

result is a collection that profoundly echoes the highs and lows of the human experience,

while proving that life's most vital moments can occur when and where we least expect

them.

All of the classic L'Amour themes are represented- honor, loyalty, and standing

up for what's right despite the odds. These dramatic stories grab hold of the reader

with a power and immediacy unsurpassed by any other writer. An exotic island in the

Coral Sea is transformed into a tropical nightmare when it's taken over by a band

of hijackers-and only a daredevil pilot can stop their brutal carnage. A former boxer

blows the lid off a vicious crime ring-and finds that his worst enemy is not a thug

with a gun but his own tenacious curiosity. A down-on-his-luck rancher discovers

the key to his own redemption-and desperately hopes that his revelation has not come

too late for him to win the one thing he wants most of all. A private eye navigates

the twists and turns of a labyrinthine whodunit-and proves that the greatest risk

to a man's honor is his own greed.

The title story ""With These Hands"" is a powerful

tale that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit, as an oil company executive

finds himself the sole survivor of an Arctic plane crash. Fighting for his life against

the perilous cold and looming starvation, he resists the temptation to surrender

to death-only to discover a life-affirming strength he never knew he had.

Vivid

in scope and displaying the diverse talents of a master storyteller, the stories

in With These Hands are certain to be treasured by both old and new fans, celebrating

the incomparable imagination of a timeless American author.
