Publisher's summary

Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In Ride the Dark Trail L'Amour tells the story of Logan Sackett, a cynical drifter who changes his ways to help a widow keep her land from falling into the wrong hands.

Logan Sackett was wild and rootless, riding west in search of easy living. Then he met Emily Talon, a fiery old widow who was even wilder than he was. Tall and lean, Em was determined to defend herself against the locals who were trying to steal her land.

Logan didn't want to get involved, until he found out that Em had been born a Sackett. Em was bucking overwhelming odds, but Logan wouldn't let her stand alone. For even the rebellious drifter knew that part of being a Sackett was backing up your family when they needed you.

Great Western Audio

If you enjoy reading Louis Lamour westerns, you will enjoy hearing it in audio. The narrator kept my attention throughout the entire story.

Love the Sackett books. Logan is such a bad ass!

I just wish Louis L'Amour could of lived long enough to tie his familys together. The Sacketts, Talons, and Chantrys. Never read a bad L'amour book. He puts you right there in the moment and on the trails.

Fantastic narration

Terrence Mann put you right in the action. Engrossing from beginning to end. I can smell the dust and gun powder and feel a leather.

Excellent adventure of Logan helping aunt Em

This is a well told and exciting plot filled with drama and plenty of action. Short for a novel but well dramatized and told.

Enjoyed the story and narration

Thought the story was good, though you have to accept the L'Amour super hero cowboy as being unrealistic. Good narration and character separation.
