About this listen

In The Lonely Men, Louis L’Amour spins the tale of a man who must elude an Apache trap—only to discover that his greatest enemy might be very close to home.

Tell Sackett had fought his share of Indians and managed to take something of value from his battles: a deep and abiding respect. But that respect is lost when Apache braves kidnap his nephew, forcing Tell to cross the border into the Sierra Madres to bring the boy back. What troubles Tell more, though, is the boy’s mother: Could she possibly be inventing a rescue mission to deliver her husband’s brother into an ambush?

Tell knows that the only things he can depend on are his wits and cold steel. But against such adversaries, even these formidable weapons may not be enough.

Another masterfull rendition by David Strathairn.. Great story of the Sacketts told as only L"Amour can..

Excellent story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Enjoyed the story and the narration. Narrator has a lovely voice, especially for this type of story.
Only negative related to the editing rather than anything else. There were overlong silent pauses between most chapters and a couple of places where the voice just faded towards the end of a sentence. That's the only reason I've knocked a star off.

Another enjoyable L'Amour story
